ChiefsPlanet - Chiefs Alex Smith Traded to Chiefs

Signed and making the cut are two different things altogether.

It costs teams a pittance to sign undrafted players as opposed to signing and drafting. In most cases, players barely get a signing bonus, if at all.

Absolutely. But you have to start with the total number of QBs signed, just like we start from the total drafted.

What's the total number of players coming from a particular source, and then how many of those actually amount to something? Based on this, UDFA have, by far, the longest odds of anyone. Why? Because these players generally suck shit.

The few successes make for great stories, though, but talent evaluation has improved enough that looking to history for the grocery baggers of the world is misleading in the modern NFL.

But....Its a bit of turnabout is fair play.

The Geno danglers continually force fed him to everyone to the level of calling anyone who didn't want him a true fan who is fine with mediocrity.

Some people are having a hard time coming to grips with the reality that maybe they look really really wrong after rubbing it in everyone's face for months.

If you don't want harsh reaction when you are wrong about something don't be an asshole while insisting you are right.

Remember, this entire board was crazy during the season for QBs. Tyler Wilson, Matt Barkley, Mike Glennon, Geno Smith... all of them. It was all over the place, but generally kept to its own thread.

I can't really feel sorry for you if you felt shouted down during the regular season. That's your own fault.

It would have been a lot easier to say "Marcellus, you're right."

You'd have to prove it instead of speculate for me to believe that, especially since there have only been a total of 69 QB's taken in the seventh round since 1967.

In rounds two, three and four you're talking 55, 57 and 67 respectively.

I can't imagine a number like 230 guys making a roster as undrafted or late round picks, especially in the days when football players worked normal jobs out of season.

did you read my post? 230 would be the number of QBs who sign with a team regardless of whether they make the final roster or not. half of that, I speculated with quick/dirty math, actually make the final roster and stick for at least a few games. no proof to be offered, I'm completely speculating. I'd posit that if I gave enough of a shit to do the research that it would be correct, but... not really willing to put that much time into it TBH :)

The team was shit. The fans were revolting. Our ILB murdered somebody and committed suicide.

Of course the natural course of conversation was going to focus on a new QB. But it was restricted to college QB threads.

You didn't see that shit in the stuff about SOC, and you didn't see it in the Chiefs news threads.

Selective memory.

Selective indeed.....

You might type "Geno" in the Search bar and see how many thread hits you get....

QB should be in every conversation until we get one.

Alex Smith #7 in QBR last year. Solid postseason numbers. Former #1 overall. Could be good.
