They probably told Bowe they're drafting Geno.

reid himself said you can't learn anything in the 15 min interviews allotted

it just doesn't make any sense that today could provide some kind of information that would serve as a 'trigger' for this

the much simpler, and more plausible explanation is that they had planned to acquire him all along

but now teams know that #1 is available, which is the most likely purpose of this becoming public...though i'd be shocked if we don't let albert walk and waste the pick on another LT...we are forever the KC Chiefs

Cassel is horrible in every way. Cassel is one of the worst QB's I've ever seen.

Alex Smith is probably about the 15th best QB in the NFL. His ceiling is probably the 11th best. He is what he is.

In the NFL, do I want the 11th best QB to be my "franchise" QB? Hell no. But we're not trading for Cassel. Smith compares WAY MORE to Green than Cassel.

There is no way Alex Smith couldn't run Reid's offense as good, if not better than Kevin Kolb and Kevin Kolb had a few games where he screamed "franchise QB"...

Like I said, we trade a 4th for Smith, trade out of #1 and then land an E.J. Manual and Tavon Austin and I'll be disappointed we didn't get our guy but I won't be without hope since Reid/Dorsey at least attempted to fix our QB and land a decent prospect as well.

I can live with Smith/Manual I'll hate Smith/late round QB.
Do you remember Cassel in NE?

It does make sense from a Dwayne Bowe angle, though.

The Chiefs want Bowe locked down so they can tag Albert.

Bowe won't lock down unless he has a QB.

The Chiefs can't say they will get Geno, because they could always change their mind.

No, Bowe ostensibly wants somebody now that the Chiefs can prove.

They say how about Foles or Alex Smith? Bowe says yes.

So they go out and try to get the best deal.

It's not the end of the QB makeover. It's just a good faith show to a Pro Bowl WR so they can lock down Albert.

Makes some sense, is all I'm saying.

If they start their tenure repeating the same mistake this team has made for DECADES they deserve every bit of ire and ridicule they get.

That's not fair, that's irrelevant.

80.4 passer rating


Alex Smith - 75 career starts:
81 Touchdowns

63 INTS

79.1 passer rating


Once again, how the **** is Smith better than Cassel? 13 more starts yet his numbers are slightly better at best.
Game. Set. Match. If we trade anything for Smith, it's an excersize in futility.

Accept we've been told that they will not tag Albert, under any circumstance.

Seems somewhat plausible. It'd be awesome if you're right.

Ohh well.. I made my mind up after 25+ years as a Chiefs fan..If we do not draft a QBotf in the 1st I will be done with the team.. Even more so if they keep trading picks for average QBs..

They wont miss my money, like I wont miss rooting for a team that has not won a playoff game in almost 20years

Then Bowe is a reerun. Alex Smith is a no better than a backup QB which is all Bowe has played with since he has been drafted by this team.

Hammock Parties 02-24-2013 07:59 PM
CHILL people.

We ARE drafting Geno.

Reid getting his buddy Mooch to put him under the hot light on NFL Network to see his reactions is even more proof of that. I bet this was a set up. Reid was even mentioned in the interview.

Hootie 02-24-2013 07:59 PM
clearly with Smith you can work the stats however you want...he was a well documented bust for the first 4 or 5 years of his career.

no doubt about it

but as an adult, I get to watch football and formulate my own opinions...he was an above average QB this year and seemed to really develop into a quality QB.

is he Tom Brady? hell no

is he a guy who can fit a system and perform like Trent Green? IMO, yes. I think if he has the right pieces and the right coach and the right system he can be a solid QB.

and that's just my opinion, and now I'm done discussing it because I really don't even care that much

I feel like I've been kicked in the nuts. I hope this shit is not true.
