Chiefs What if the Chiefs draft a QB #1? - Page 2

CLX · 12-02-2012, 03:52 PM

Do they get the best of the crop and put him right into the position or do they let him sit and season?

History tells us that the franchise sits him, watching other teams with QB picks it seems there has been some success in the QB transitioning to the NFL better than ever in the past.

With the new cap on draftees it would be a no loss situation if you get what is expected to be an immediate help to the team and he turns out to be a bust, you get another high round pick the following year and haven't lost the high dollars as teams could in the past.

Will the Chiefs win enough games the rest of the year to remove their chance at drafting #1?

Even if it is close, they need to start. This isn't a situation like the Texans w/ David Carr. Geno has adequate weapons, a above average OL, and quality RB in Charles to lean on.

KC is one of the better situations for a rookie QB to come in and start in recent memory.

David Carr was essentially Matt Cassel with a stronger arm.

He was doomed to fail because he locked onto his primary read and held the ball too long.

He made his O-Line, as bad as it was, look much worse than they actually were.

I agree but it isn't like that team did Carr any favors. Granted, this is before I really started watching football, so I'll defer to you/others about David Carr.

I can't believe there are still people who think we need to get another castoff to be our QB.

I don't want any QB, rookie or veteran, that can be remotely compared to Cassel.

We should draft the Chocolate Pain and start him from day 1.

I am getting so damn tired of people suggesting Alex Smith for our QB. People are just damn stupid.
