Yeah, because "upgrading" their QB from Dilfer so that they could be a dynasty worked out so well for them.

Pretty sure you are the delusional one.

He's one of the best pass blockers in the league.

have you noticed he plays OT like a OG? Albert doesn't engage his man.

I have said many times on this board I would like Albert to remain a Chief, but I'm not gonna sugar coat him. Reid likes big OT's that hold blocks.

gg.

No what you've done is trade Brandon Albert for Alex Smith. Then drafted Albert's replacement at 1.1 because they evaluate OT as much better draft prospect then QB.

Fisher is Andy's guy if that's what he likes.

Apparently Joekel and/or Fisher are.

This seems somewhat unlikely.

Plus, the Chiefs still have Geno in town today. Wouldn't that be a waste of time?

Eugene Monroe. Only reason why he gave up more sacks is because we had 0 running game last year.

Not when it potentially leads to more draft picks.

Then that's fine, but it's pretty obvious this regime doesn't want Albert as their LT.

I don't know if pointing out how weak he was in the NFCCG is really splitting hairs. Or pointing out that his team was stacked as hell. Alex played better in the Saints game than I thought he could. I do know that most of his play outside of that game leads me to think he isn't taking this team anywhere special, but he is a lot better than Cassel IMO. Thing is that isn't the goal. We shall see.

As TBG pointed out earlier, Reid isn't going to coddle Alex. At the very least we should see Alex's feet held to the fire.

Can a prospect from Texas A&M really be a polished prospect?

I would rather see the Chiefs keep Albert and draft Joeckel letting him play RT as a rookie. When Albert leaves next year move Joeckel to the left side and find another RT. By then Stephenson might be ready to take the starting RT role.

At least not at the price Albert thinks he's worth.
