Sam Mellinger: Chiefs whiff on chance to improve at QB

[LOCOChief]

$96 Million / 5 years / 36 year old injured QB - No thanks.

If we really want a franchise QB we would've been further away from getting one with PM here, maybe Orton too.

Absolutely. If I were a Denver fan, I'd be a little uneasy that Quinn is gone, and they alienated the only other backup they have in Tebow. Now, they have to draft a QB or sign a no-namer just to fill the slots....with a 36 yr old QB coming of neck surgery at the helm.

IMO, if PM would have chosen the Chiefs, I don't believe Pioli/Hunt would have gone after another young 1st rd caliber QB until PM retired or went down. By then grooming a QB is pretty much out of the question, you just have to throw him in the fire.

Do you really believe that Pioli is going to try a potential franchise QB, and better yet, do you want this coaching staff withing 100 miles of that QB?

I would really like to see if Denver could make a trade for Mallet. Offer up a R3 this year - see if they can make something work. Mallet would be an ideal backup for Manning and they would potentially have their long-term QB fix in place and after spending a year with Brady, then 2-3 with Manning ... you couldn't ask for more really.

Why would New England do that? they really have no reason to take a third round pick for Mallet just doesn't make any sense
