Debate...

Its doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure that out...

I'd actually prefer Daniel stay on the roster for depth, but I think we need to work a 1yr extension that thins out his cap hit for this season. Chiefs are still actively pursuing talent: Mathis, Wright, Jones. We're going to need that money!

No no no no **** you **** you. Alex breaks. Chase saves us. **** you!

Noodle arm sack of shit

chase daniel looks like the kid from sixth sense all grown up.

This needed discussing again.

Good Lord almighty that is one ugly dude.

Yeah, well...our 3rd stringer is a future HOF'er.

id take Chase over Christian Ponder and Kellen Clemens. The other 8 are all veteran insurance policies and its hard to argue.

He's generally done well when called upon. Never felt like, "Ugh! If we just had Alex Smith we would be better!"

this.

If anyone on that list had to start 4 or more games for my team, I'm giving up on the season. 73 year old Matt Hasselbeck? Matt Schaub? Christian Ponder? That's a whole lot of suck.

That list is shit and I would feel much better about Daniel taking a spot start than most of those guys.

He's merely OK.

Most of these guys run together though.

Yeah, I'm on the 'cut Chase' bandwagon and I still think that list is silly and mostly just lazy.

I wouldn't take 7 of those guys over Daniel: Hasselbeck, Schaub, Jackson, Hill, Ponder, Moore and Clemens. I could probably be convinced on Moore, however.

Fitzpatrick, Sanchez and Glennon I'd probably take over Daniel, though Glennon's actually probably a worse player; I just like his upside.

Daniel's overpaid, but he's a top 10 backup without question, IMO.

This. Except I want to keep Chase.

There's a damn Darth of qb play in the league today.

People freak when Alex smith and Dalton get deals, but there's so much shit out there

And that's all compounded by the CP philosophy of "If you're not a HoFer, you're probably shit".

There's no room for merely competent football players 'round these parts.

My issue with Chase is that I'm ultimately of the mind that if you lose your starter for 5 games or more, you're probably !@#$ed either way. Chase's only real benefit is in the event that Smith goes down from 1-4 games. If that's the case, maybe Chase can go in there, go 2-2 and Smith can guide them to 8-4 in the other games to get us to 10-6 and a possible playoff berth.

I just think that's a pretty limited set of circumstances to justify a guy using up nearly $5 mil of cap space.

Not only that, but the way they're going to ask chase to win said games, I'm not sure why a rookie or second year guy couldn't do that.

When Sanchez and Fitzpatrick are top 2 the b/u QB's in this league are not very good right now...

Matt Schaub's arm is completely shot. He shouldn't even be on a roster at this point. The linked list having Schaub at #4 completely invalidates the writers opinions.

The bitching about chase is stupid, he isn't going anywhere this year, he'll move in next. He can hold down the fort if AS goes down for a couple games or longer.... And I don't give a shit about the money he is making. Jesus I hate the off season....

Why not? It takes up money that could be used on something else.

When Josh McCown, Matt Cassel and Brian Hoyer are starting, there aren't enough quality QB's to go around.

And guys like Cutler, Palmer, Bradford and Dalton haven't shown they can win anything to date.

Only in Chiefs QB reality is he a Top 10 back up.

Who cares if he can step right and continue to mediocre up the joint? His reps need to be going to Murray and/or Bray.

Chase should be cut. How could anyone justify his salary as a backup!?!

Skeletor approves of this message.

That list is awesome and we should trade Chase for Sanchez straight-up.
