It's a 'trust us, he's showing great things in practice, great strides are just around the corner' PR QBOTF sells tickets thing. But please, tell us a story about a highly drafted QB who 1) busted, 2) didn't get a career ending injury to shorten his stay, 3) was named the team's starter, and 4) the realization of bust-ness took less than years.

Three years isn't necessarily a given for any QB, no matter the draft position. |

I don't care if the Chiefs had Aaron Rodgers at QB, if they had the opportunity to draft Luck or RGIII, they better take him/

1. It's the Raiders, they're reeruned.
2. He was their starter for 2 full years, and the end of his first. 3. I'd count Purple Drank as a career ending injury. 4. Overall, his selection has set them back more than the duration of him starting, including the desperation driven Palmer trade that did them no favors.

Let's just pass on a QB then. Heaven forbid that a franchise that hasn't won a playoff game in 2 decades and that is nearing in on two 2-win seasons and two 4-win seasons in 6 years "set themselves back".

Brady Quinn only took two seasons to bust out. Same with Tim Tebow. Going back a long time, there's also Cade McNown and Akili Smith, both of whom only got to play for a single season. |

Hypothetical for the sake of curiosity about consistency. If Kirk Cousins was the best QB in the upcoming draft when the Chiefs are on the clock, do you want the Chiefs to take him?

Also, if the risk involved in picking just any ol' QB with a high draft pick boils down to "the team is forced to live with his mistakes for too long," then I don't know what to tell you. Teams need QBs. If they don't draft a guy, then they go the Chiefs route of trading for backups.
Elvis Grbacs, Rich Gannons, and Matt Cassels aren't any safer than rolling the dice on risky QBs in the first round. When they bust, they still require the franchise to give the company line, "Just be patient." The only difference is that when they succeed, they succeed as bullshit game managers, and when they fail they fail just as hard and fast as the QBs that fail spectacularly. So does it come down to the pricetag, Baby Lee? If you're going to hang yourself, you shouldn't pay too much? |

Bullshit, htis has said JUST TODAY that Cousins isn't worth later round picks. How the **** can the same person say 'if he's there at #1, 2, 3 overall in the draft and he's the best QB available take him' AND 'he's not worth trading away a 2nd 3rd or 4th round pick because I already know he's worthless and always will be?'

See, we're not picking 11. We'll be picking in the top 3. That's where you get your QB. So take Smith, or Wilson, or Barkley and get it done. |
