On the flip flop, there are plenty of others ways to skin a cat. We just had a Super Bowl winner with a 3rd rounder.


The Rams did the right thing. Just a victim of bad luck.

32 teams out of 32 teams would have taken Bradford in that same position.

Agenda cherry picking aside, there's pretty much two... a QB who's capable of playing at an elite level in the playoffs or a defense that can stop one (since you'll probably be playing against one).

Bradford is one of the few 1st round QBs I advocated for passing on if the Chiefs were in that position. I legitimately believed he was a pile of shit.

The other was Branden Weeden.

I put stock in a lot of shitty QBs, but I also put stock in some QBs like Flacco that people wanted nothing to do with.

Yea, I would agree with this.

Honestly , there haven't been many 1st round QBs they passed on that turned out to be anything. Rodgers is the only one that comes to mind.


The Chiefs have drafted many lower round QBs, but did a crap job of developing them.

Yeah, it's not like you have to every year or even every few years, and if you're successful despite not developing your own QBs, awesome... but, the exact same strategy for three decades with no success to show for it is pathetic.

No ones saying it solves a goddamn thing. We're saying at least TRY!

"Many"

Brodie Croyle, Ricky Stanzi, and Aaron Murray.

Yeah, we sure are throwing our seeds all over the ****ing place!

Rams Fan 08-24-2014 04:36 PM

If Luck was at 2 instead of RG3, I would have been more open to the idea of taking Luck then stay and take RG3.

Rams Fan 08-24-2014 04:37 PM

It's official now. **** this shit.

Bearcat 08-24-2014 04:38 PM

Not sure why it has to be limited to 1st round, either... no QBs in the first 3 rounds since Croyle........ and 15 linemen since then.

I'm talking over the past 25 to 30 years.


Steve Stenstrom, Mike Elkins, Matt Blundin etc....

You have to be more than a little lucky. Bad enough to be in position to take an elite QB, at the same time when there's one available. We suffered through a season bad enough to get the first pick in the draft, and ended up with Eric ****ing Fisher.

Even if he eventually is not a bust (sure looks like one right now), it'll always be a disappointing pick.

I didn't like those guys either, and I didn't like Ryan.

And of the other QBs that others liked that didn't go first round, I didn't like Clausen.

There's more, but they aren't coming to mind at the moment.

Every quarterback was available, but of course you can't select just anyone at 1.1.

Possibly
No
No
Doubtful
No(CB depth is already thin)

I'd like Cousins or Glennon. I think Glennon can be had less for Cousins, though I don't know if that's the case with Lovie's comments about him being the QBOTF.
