When you have a real balla-ass GM...

You have the ability to make all sorts of moves when you are loaded with picks and don't really have any big holes to fill in the draft.

Jealous.

Someone traded for Matt Effin Flynn dumbass. They were never going to cut Smith.

A 5th rounder in 2014 hardly the same

Baalke isn't the best GM, IMO, Ozzie Newsome is. But Balke is up there.

I truly believe niners homers need to wait one more season before crowning Kapernick as some sort of dynasty QB. As we all know, they won't do shit in the playoffs without a top QB.

Lets see how Kap does when people have had a chance to properly prepare for him....(yes it might be difficult....but I think he just flat out surprised people last year)


I really won't be surprised if seattle wins the nfc west in 2013-14

You should go be a 49ers fan. That'd be great.

I'm a Niner fan and this is what I have been saying about Kaep, people in the Bay Area are ridiculously creaming their pants over this guy and while I like him, I'm not ready to crown him a hall of famer after 10 games where a lot of his success came from what I consider a gimmick offense. I don't think the read option will last long term in the NFL and now that teams have some film on him and the Niners new look offense they're gonna have to adjust. He's got great physical tools and is set up for success but some Niners fans are ridiculous already saying he's going to be one of the best qb's of all time. However, I think Kaep is way better than Wilson and I think he and the Seahawks are way overrated and the Niners will stomp them and win the division. Baalke really is the best GM outside of maybe Newsome who has the rings. Baalke gets amazing value and productive players in the mid to late rounds. Even though I think Alex Smith is a good player that trade was a steal, I expected a 4th round pick would get the deal done.

What are you doing here?

Uh-huh. Right. And Steve DeBerg was better than John Elway. Broncos were overrated.

Homer.

Good stuff. If Clark knew what he was doing he'd also hire a guy with a Parcells connection to run the Chiefs.

It isn't a gimmick offense. The beauty of Harbaugh/Roman incorporating the ZR and plays run out of the pistol is that they still utilize viable passing concepts.

The ZR places a tremendous amount of stress (for lack of a better word at the moment) upon defenses. As a defense, your drops are slower, you can't use traps as you'd like, etc. due to the fact you have to play the run and account for the pass, while still being able to acknowledge the QB as a runner.

Wilson's short ass hit his ceiling already, everyone just talks him up because he was a feel good story. Seahawks will implode, they got a bunch of team cancers and Carroll acts more like a pop warner dad than an NFL coach on the sideline. Wilson will regress and when things start to go sour Carroll won't be able to control his team and they will unravel. By far the most overrated team going into next season.

While I don't doubt that Wilson can regress this season, I don't feel it will be due to "team cancers".


Additionally, I fail to see how they're the "most overrated team going into next season" when people think that KC is going to challenge for a division title this year.

Espn has the Hawks ranked number 1 in their post draft power rankings, that is extremely overrated. KC may not win the division but I expect them to get a wild card spot this year.

We couldn't get so lucky.

I don't agree with Seattle being ranked #1 and I don't think KC is close to contention for a WC, given the depth of the AFC.
E-Pats
N-Ravens
S-Colts
W-Broncos

You then have Pitt and Cincy locking up the WCs IMO. Depending on the development of their QBs, Tennessee and Miami could make a push for a WC spot.

Can we at least wait until we see what the Chiefs do in the regular season before we judge and compare Dorsey?

Baalke has done a great job, but his best move was hiring Harbaugh. They were pretty horrible prior to that and Baaalke has been with the team since 2005.

Seahawks are freaking stacked and Wilson is a beast. Anyone who un-ironically chooses "AlexSmithDynasty" as their username should not get to have football opinions.

Chiefs have a real easy schedule, and those AFC North teams will take wins away from each other. Tennessee and Miami aren't as good as the Chiefs. I think losing Arians who was pretty much the head coach for the Colts last year will hurt them. I think Houston wins that division and Indy misses the playoffs this year. Also wouldn't surprise me for Baltimore to miss the playoffs.

AlexSmithDynasty = GoChargers so STFU

Meh, is it really that packed? Miami, Houston/Indy, San Diego, Cincinnati. That's our competition for a wild card spot. I think Miami, SD, and Cinci are adequate. Indy is overrated and the product of an incredibly easy schedule.

The Chiefs went 7-9 with Kyle Orton as QB and without Jamaal Charles. I certainly think they can match that. I think they go 9-7 or 10-6. But no, they won't be any threat in the playoffs with Alex Smith at QB.

Baalke was promoted to GM in 2011, he was in the scouting department before that and Scot McCloughan was the GM until he was fired for being an alcoholic in 2010. Even prior to 2011 the front office had built up a good amount of talent the team just had inept coaching, kind of like last year's Chiefs.

What do you mean?

Both usernames are equally pathetic.

Enjoy your new team Clay.

Being born as a Chargers fan is still preferable to deluding yourself into thinking Alice Smiff will ever be responsible for a dynasty. LMAO

This. I'll help him pack.

Lol Chargers remember 94? People blame concussions for what Seau did, what really happened was he re-watched that superbowl and couldn't live with the embarrassment anymore.

Shut up you little whiny bitches. The only reason I'm so pissed off around here is because the Chiefs ARE my team.

I'll go ahead and end the 'wait and see' mode for you...

Kaep is a stud and a legit franchise QB. Top 5.

Awesome, now we all know the truth is the opposite.

Your services are appreciated.

Your the biggest whiner on this board. Everything you write is negative. Get out of the house, get a job and get laid sometime dude.

Who's more whiny, the whiner or the whiner that whines about the whiner?

Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick are the next big thing in the NFL. I'd take both of them over my distant 3rd place guy, Andrew Luck.

I think that Indy hiring Luck's college OC is going to provide significant benefits. JMO though

you know how you become a great GM?


trade with the chiefs

I can see this happening

@Jacksonville Loss
vs. Dallas Loss
@Philly Loss
vs. NYG Loss
@ Tennessee Win
vs. Oakland Win
vs. Houston Loss
vs. Cleveland Loss
@ Buffalo Win
@ Denver Loss
vs. Chargers Win
vs. Denver Loss
@ Washington Loss
@Oakland Loss
vs. Indy Loss
@ San Diego Loss

I see us splitting with Oakland and SD. Jacksonville, Philly, Tennessee, Cleveland, Buffalo are all toss ups. I went entirely pessimistic.

We can beat Jacksonville, Philly, and Cleveland (even if Cleveland is better than they look). Houston and Indy are absolute winnable games and two teams who should come back down to earth after their cakewalk schedule last year. Washington and Dallas are beatable.

If Sutton gets our defense to at least 2011 level, this team could break .500. We face some good competition, but not a lot of elite competition.

You went entirely reerun.

This schedule, on paper, is every bit as easy as 2010.

I can see a lot of play action passing utilizing crossing routes and shorter timing routes to help Alex Smith. Charles will keep the LB's honest so they can't drop too deep into coverage.

The X-factor is going to be the TE play this year. I think they are going to play a big role and heavily influence Smith's overall success in this offensive system.

I'm not sure how Charles is going to be reading blocks from a FB after operating out of a single back set so often but I am hopeful that the blocking schemes will spring Charles and lead to more 10+ yard runs.

If Fisher and the new TE we drafted are as nasty as some on here claim then I am excited to watch our offense finally start to push other teams around. It gets old watching the other team in the backfield all the time.

And that's the scary thing. It's likely to post postpone needed change at the QB position just like Cassell backing ass into the 2010 playoffs did.

As long as we finally have a GM that can draft talent then idc where we draft. We have been cursed so many times by drafting crap in the first couple of rounds while other teams picked up studs!

This.

Year 2 is hell for QB's...

I think the o will be more exciting. I am afraid the d will be somewhat the same
