CMU QB Dan LeFevour says he has had in-depth talks w/ Chiefs

[Chris Meck]

right. okay. well, in that case, I'd say that Brodie Croyle was a reasonable risk. first round talent, injury problems. MAYBE he could stay healthy....

nope...and so you have backup that's got more talent than your starter, but you can't trust him with the position because he won't last three games. Not that I think he's MANNING, I just think that Cassel's....well, less talented in any measurable way.

but I wouldn't rather have Jamarcus Russell. I would much rather have Matt Ryan. I would like to have Sanchez, although I worry that we'd have ruined him before he had a chance to grow into his potential.

So I don't buy the draft a QB number 1 if you want to win the big one argument. There are SO many more variables at play than WHERE you get a good QB. There can be no argument, however, that you need a GOOD QB. Why we can't just agree on that and move on, I have no idea.

On a team that is as devoid of talent, as the Chiefs are, why not take Sanchez and develop him using a similar approach that the Titans did isn developing McNair.

If you believe he has franchise QB potential, draft him, let him sit on the bench for a year or two, getting him late game snaps here and there while building the base around him.

That was how I wanted to approach it.

I'd like to see this once in my lifetime.

Double ditto.

It didn't hurt Rogers, McNair, Young, Pennington, Bulger, Hasslebeck, or any number of young guys who sat behind someone established as the franchise QB.

Hell, pretty much anyone who sat behind Deberg became an all star...
