Techier: I am an idiot
He would rather have a stop gap free agent quarterback than a franchise one. How freaking stupid.
http://chiefsblog.kansascity.com/?q=node/451 It has to be a pass rusher I don't care whether Matt Stafford, Peyton Manning or John Elway is available when the Chiefs make their first draft pick next year. Unless one of those guys can get after the quarterback, the Chiefs must pass them up in order to get a pass rusher. They won't make any significant improvement until they find someone who can get after the quarterback. The Chiefs have six sacks through 10 games. That's right. Sixteen players around the league have more than six. The next worst team is Cincinnati with 11. The league average is 21. We're all waiting for Tyler Thigpen to turn into a pumpkin but it hasn't happened yet. In a perfect world, the Chiefs would do better for their starting QB next season. Their world is far from perfect and with their lousy defense it won't get any better. The Chiefs can draft a QB in the second or third round or they can even find a servicable free agent to compete with Thigpen. But as far as their first round pick, if they haven't already earmarked it for a pass rusher, it won't matter who's playing quarterback next season. 2009 will bring more of the same. Tyler Thigpen isn't perfect but he's proving to be a servicable NFL quarterback. The Chiefs might never win a Super Bowl with him, but at the rate they're going defensively, it doesn't matter whether it's Thigpen or someone else at QB. Their defense has been an easy mark for too many opposing quarterbacks this season. Sure, the Chiefs need another quarterback. They can find one in another round or perhaps through free agency |

Teicher is one of those guys who doesn't think having a high draft spot matters either...
The Chiefs have really conditioned a good number of people into thinking the way to be a great team is to be the Chiefs of the 90s. |

Typical thought process that has doomed KC for the last 20 years under Carl and his minions...

Carl has many people in KC ie: media, fans and writers alike all eating out of the palm of his hand... KC is like a bunch of lemmings lining up to jump in to a volcano, just because Carl says its the right thing to do...

Aslong as the Chiefs stay at 1 win anything is possible, who thought the Bengals would play with the Eagles?
If the Chiefs win another game then there's a problem. |

The Chiefs won't win another game.
They might get close in Cincinnati but if so, I fully expect them to pull Thigpen in favor of Gray or even Martin, who's currently on the practice squad. The Bengals don't need a QB but they do need defense. I can't see the Chiefs being so stupid as to win at Cincinnati, effectively screwing themselves in the draft. They're dumb but not that dumb. |

We need a lot of things in the draft, we'll probably end up with at least 1 kicker, a running back, and a tight end.
