I don't think it is totally his play but more so getting someone cheaper, younger and possibly in their opinion will be better than Albert.

Where does it say this?

I was under the impression that Reid was a fan.

Albert can't hold blocks and it's because he lacks those type techniques.

What? You said that Joeckel was a "very polished prospect." Everyone of those names that I gave were also "very polished prospects." The tackle is not a safe position, neither is the QB. However, the QB is much more important than a tackle. The best thing this team can do for its long-term success is taking a chance on a QB with the pick and grooming him for the future, while keeping the very good LT that it already has.

Yes, because QBs need at least seven to ten seconds in the pocket.

The tackle is a safer prospect though so it's not as clear cut as you seem to be trying to make it. And in addition to that, you have to factor in the evaluation of the actual individuals you're choosing between.

The reason the tackle is safer, is because when an LT busts, you can usually turn him into a serviceable player either at RT or as a G. When a QB busts, he sits on the bench or gets drummed out of the league altogether.

Beyond that, it's possible that the Chiefs see Geno as a high bust probability and Joeckle as a low bust probability based on their individual characteristics.

Point out the "wrong" part.

Did he "take" them to the SB or did he ALMOST "take" them to the SB.

If the answer is "ALMOST" then you are wrong and should stop talking.

I already have. In order to get in position to be in the Super Bowl, he had to take his team to the NFCCG. It's common sense.

I guess in your mind you have.

In reality... you haven't proven anyone wrong but yourself.

Ok, so it really comes down to you being an idiot. You could have saved us both some time by just admitting that.

Alex Smith got his team to the NFCCG and was a special teams collapse away from getting his team into the SB. As I said before, you can split the hairs any way you want to, but that's what happened.

I think it is quite clear Albert is getting traded. If their was a long term deal in the works, he would know it by now. The new regime has put very little to no effort in re-signing him long term. They moved swiftly with Bowe/Colquitt and all of their other moves have been swift with a plan.

This staling by the Chiefs brass is just leverage for trade possibilities in the draft and trying to milk more in a trade with Albert. I know from a personal perspective it sucks for Albert but this is a business move first and foremost... he is just a pawn.

Yep. Sad but true.

We are about to trade away the same guy we traded UP to get and has proven himself and wants to be here.

in exchange we will get a failed Alex Smith, and use 1.1 to draft an overrated Joekel.

Albert, as much as I like him, is not one of the best LTs in the NFL. You're just being delusional. He is a good LT, make no mistake, but to say he is one of the best is talking with the homer glasses on.
