Chiefs Hey chiefs fans - Page 8

tooge · 03-09-2013, 12:37 AM

Fans of the Kansas City Chiefs. It's been a long time and alot of bad decisions and bad breaks. 18 Years really, since the Chiefs were relevant.

I know you all forgot, it's been soooo long. Guess what? This is how a young, smart, hungry GM and head coach go about improving the product on the field now, and setting the franchise up for Yeats of success in the future.

These guys are movers and shakers. They are doing what it takes, not only to win now, but it's going to be evident by the end of FA and the draft, that the future is being planned as well.

So, this is how it is done. You can save this post and call me out in five years if you wish, but I'm pretty sure we've finally got a leadership team we can count on.

First, this team has not been relevant since Christmas day, 1971.

But to the main point, I am happy that this new regime made the decisions it did with regards to our own potential free agents, and hope they do get a deal donebwithb Albert.

Dunta Robinson doesn't excite me, but I also have no problem with bringing him and seeing what he can do in a different scheme.

The move for Alex Smith, though, to me is demoralizing.

He's an improvement to Matt Cassel in the same way that makeup an a nice dress is an improvement over curlers and bath robe for Roseanne.

We've just put makeup and a dress on a pig.

Yeah I got to say that I'm pretty happy with how active we are being as a franchise. I might not agree with every move they are making, I do like the fact that they are making moves.

I'd rather have a team try and fail then not try at all

Agreed, while Axl Smiff isnt sexy in any way whatsoever, he's steady and a clear upgrade over what we had.

As long as they dont stand pat and keep looking for the Golden Child, i'll keep faith with this new regime... so far, they're definitely not sitting around with their thumbs up each others ass, i think its a good omen.

Pasta Little Brioni · 03-09-2013, 09:58 AM

That's a kick in the balls Tattoo, but that's where we are headed. Trying to be positive, but unless Reid unlocks something in Alex Smith, we are still facked.

Chiefshrink · 03-09-2013, 10:04 AM

Smith is just a respectable 'stop gap' for the moment that I can live with for now.

But 'tooge' pretty much nailed it !!!!

The only thing I can get excited for is next years draft and hopes that we get our QBotf then when Alex Smith proves this year he isn't worth what we traded him for. I'm going root for wins and an improvement on both sides of the ball if Alex Smith is the problem still then we all should expect a new QB.

I don't even expect Alex Smith to stay healthy all season.

>< this much chance we still draft Geno Smith I can only wish. Then I would be full blown Homer & haters can hate. That's all it would take for me to be a happy fan that would accept a bright future.

Rasputin · 03-09-2013, 10:17 AM

I guess let the vet QB take a pounding while the OL gells this year. Next year we can snag our QBotf with our first pick trade up if we have too. I figure we will be in the top 10 of the draft next year. I do believe we can win some games with Alex Smith if we get the production we are use to out of Jamaal Charles. Jamaal Charles again is going be key for this offense to function like an NFL team.

Pasta Little Brioni · 03-09-2013, 10:54 AM

Draft Geno and if he isn't ready, let Alex run, run, pass, punt our way to 8-8. We could do much worse than throwing resources at the QB position. *Cough Dorsey, T-Jack, Baldwin, McCluster Cough*

Hog's Gone Fishin · 03-09-2013, 11:14 AM

One big thing that's so positive is they are willing to spend money now. Bowe is the 3rd highest paid reciever in the league. Colquitt is the highest paid punter and Albert with his franchise tag will get top 5 money. THAT my friends is a huge turnaround from the Carl Peterson and Scott Pioli eras. The future is bright now and players are going to want to come to KC.

I'm not a huge fan of the Alex Smith trade, but I don't think this is accurate. Cassel/Quinn was the most incompetent display of NFL Quarterbacking that I'd ever seen. At LEAST since like...Babe Laufenberg. Go look that shit up. (shudders)
Alex is not elite, of that there is no doubt. He was, however, the best QB on the market without question, and is competent. Just having competent QB play would've had this team at 8-8 even last year, I think. With some better schemes, coaching, and player upgrades I see no reason why we should not be competitive immediately.

Frosty · 03-09-2013, 12:05 PM

I disliked the Alex Smith trade but have decided to suspend the freaking out until after the draft. For one thing, we don't know what the compensation is going to be for Smith. If it is less than reported and AS is being brought in as a vet/mentor to one of the top development QBs, I'm good with that. We also have all of FA to go through.

I'll resume the freaking out if they go into the season with AS, Stanzi (or, god forbid, Cassel) and a 7th rounder at QB.

In 93 we were one injury away from a SB.

You may argue against it but that was the same team we'd mashed 23-3 earlier in the season.

We've taken one week and improved 3 positions immediately.

I hope (I don't BELIEVE - I HOPE) this is a solid start and not the end game for this FO...

Frisco and Baltimore were both in the Superbowl this year. From which team did they trade draft picks to get a QB?

Talk to me when the Chiefs finaly figure it out.
