Would you consider the offseason FA period a success for the Chiefs?

[Direckshun]

CB Stanford Routt
RB Peyton Hillis
TE Kevin Boss
OT Eric Winston
QB Brady Quinn

That's a selective, intelligent, careful fleshing out of the roster for a bargain at every position except Winston.

This is an A-.

I'm starting to think it may well be possible for Tannehill to fall to us in the first, and there are still opportunites to get another qb. If Stanzi is not progressing as we hope, or its possible to get someone to replace Quinn I think you do it. The Decastro option will always be there. I think they will take another qb somewhere in the draft.

Nothing matters if the Chiefs don't have a QB.

The front office's arrogance lost them the Peyton Manning sweepstakes. And the Chiefs could have cut Cassel and kept Orton for the same exact price.

The QB decision is critical. And they ****ed it up big time. They promised us competition for Cassel. Instead, they got us a backup.

That decision alone turns it from an A- to a D.

Manning chose not to come here, despite the efforts of our GM and owner. Maybe we have a history of suckiness and cheapness, but that is hard to blame at the feet of the FA period this year, considering it just started.

Orton got a fat deal from Chicago ( $5 mil this year ). That's overpaying for a backup who was marginally better than Cassel.

Who else is available for competition? There just aren't enough good QBs to go around in the NFL; it's not like we missed some great chance at improving our QB position.

And besides, we have the draft and our draft-pick from last year for this.

I don't like the QB situation anymore than anyone else, but there aren't better alternatives just sitting out there, unless you want to roll the dice on Flynn.

Do you think qbs grow on trees or something? Did the qb truck drive by arrowhead and nobody came out to greet them?

The Chiefs could have cut Cassel and signed Orton to a short-term contract at a cheaper price. Instead, they kept the worse QB and we're stuck with that clown for another year.

First of all orton signed a pretty big deal just to be the backup in Dallas. Second HES ****ING KYLE ORTON. WHO GIVES A SHIT?

Blah. What?

He was given a $5M signing bonus. His contract in 2012 is worth $900,000. His contract next year is $1.4M. Matt Cassel's contract is worth $5.25M, $7.5M in 2013, and $9M in 2014.

Orton is $650,000 more expensive today and $6.1M cheaper next year. Let's face it, the only reason Orton isn't a Chief had nothing to do with money. It had nothing to do with Orton being uncomfortable getting into a QB competition with Cassel. Why? Because Orton signed a cheap contract on a team where he would become the backup. This move had everything to do with the Chiefs refusing to admit that their shitty QB is in fact shitty.

Your point was that Orton would be cheaper THIS season had we just cut cassel and signed orton. You were wrong and you're wrong about cassel.
