"Don't blame Andy Reid for this franchise's past failures in the QB realm."
"There wasn't anything good in 2013. You can't just draft a QB just to draft one."
Well there sat Bridgewater. And we passed on him just like King Carl would have done.
Dorsey/Reid are probably going to approach their next few drafts that way. "We don't need Rodgers, we have Green. We don't need any QB from the 2012 draft, we have Cassel." Rinse and ****ing repeat.

They've picked up rookie QB's in each of the last two years and that's with Smith signing a new contract and bringing in Daniels.
Don't fall into the "But we gotta draft a QB in the first for it to count!!!!" bullshit that always gets thrown around here.
They are not sitting on their laurels. They'll pick a guy when the guy that they like is there and he's better than other guys on their board. That's about it. They aren't going to rush head long into the classic Chief's Planet philosophy of over drafting the QB position just to draft a guy at the QB position.
If this place was picking QB's, we'd have a roster of Jimmy Clausen, Mark Sanchez and Johnny Manziel.
"We shoulda drafted Bridgewater!!!! Oh noes!!! Because he was a QB on the board when we picked!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
This place goes into total epic meltdown when anything but a QB is picked in the first three rounds.
