Ilb? I have no idea about him

To the dingy

So if we were to bring in Jordan to go with Zambo, would we still draft a OLB unless it was Dion Jordan at 1.1?

Probably not. More moves in the making for selecting Geno I see. Good stuff!

Akeem would be an ILB in this system. He's not a 3-4 outside backer.

Nice hit!!

We tried the Patriot way, we tried to be like Cardinals and Cleveland and now we go the Philly way.

It's too soon to put labels like that on the new regime. Any new regime will try to bring in some players they are familiar with. We'll be signing a couple of former Packers and former Eagles. It does not mean a new recast version of the Patriots way.

I know, just being sarcastic. Kinda surprised we didn't go after Matt Flynn though. I thought we'd bring him in and draft Geno for a QB competition. In no way I thought we wouldn't have some sort of QB competition this season.

Boys good, real good.

True. To be fair it is the "Overpay for a dumbass 49er QB" way which the Chiefs have invented and developed into a level that eclipses all other sports franchises on the planet. Also known as the "Kick your fans in the nuts" method of building a fan base. Of course this only works in cities where the fans have no gag reflex. It is recommended that this never be tried in New York or any other city that has won a recent championship.

The fans are kicked in the nuts? Maybe if you love Geno Smith. I agree, I wish we could've gotten AS for a 3rd, but other than that the Chiefs made the best move to make in acquiring a veteran QB.

there's strong, but not necessarily legitimate hate for Alex Smith. I think it comes from the mad passionate love people have for Geno, and the fact AS came from San Francisco, neither of which is his fault. When I ask people who'd they rather have, as far as a veteran QB, I hear names like Stanton, and Hasselbeck, neither is better than Smith, in fact they've proven to be backups at this point. I think the only reason these types of QBs were wanted is because they ARE backups Hasselbeck and Stanton would make it easier for a rookie to come in and start, but what people don't get is Dorsey and Reid, it seems, don't like any of the rookie QBs to come in and start. Signing someone like Stanton doesn't mean Genos coming, it just means the Chiefs are starting a backup QB.
