2008: Phins screwed the pooch. Should have taken Ryan. He was good enough to be taken #3 but not #1?
2006: Probably made the right choice there. They were still giving Carr time to develop. Weak QB draft
2000: Wow, another horrendous draft for QBs....and they were not going to take a QB the year after Couch. needed position
97: The right choice....another horrible QB draft and a needed position, and they were Banks was still young and unknown
96: Umm.....yea.....Neil O Donnel....that was a Cassel type of move by the Jets
95: Bengals felt they had something at the time with Blake
94: They were giving Klinger time to develop still
92: Still giving George time to develop.
So yea, history is on the Chiefs side here. No great HC or GM is going to look at Cassel coming in and decide..yep, thats my guy! Or Alex Smith for that matter. If Reid and Dorsey do, they are just as dumb as any other previous Chiefs regime and wont last long.
