Tony Romo rumor

[chiefscafan]

Gotta ask what do you guys think? There are strong rumors we are interested. I would love it if we got AJ MCCaron from Bengals.


What do you guys think

It was an observation, and it's true.


Did I compare their style of play? Nope. Did I compare their offense? Nope.

Your comparison of Romo to Rodgers sucks.....

They beat Detroit 2/3 years ago, and then dropped a heartbreaker in Green Bay when they called the 4th down pass to Dez incomplete at the goal line.

What would have been wrong with signing Ryan Fitzpatrick at that juncture? I was in favor of Fitzpatrick. Alot of Chiefs' fans were on board with a FA to get through 2013 with until the draft presented much better options in 2014. I recall many thinking Jason Campbell was a guy to give a shot. The '13 class was historically terrible and everyone knew it, but there were some good looking players in 2014. The Alex Smith trade made the Chiefs blind to drafting a QB early after that. While Fitzpatrick probably would have been a worse option, he wouldn't have costed draft capital and the Chiefs probably look for the future earlier.

Either way, hindsight doesn't provide much perspective. The Chiefs, obviously, have to address the QB position soon. Alex has 2 years left. The Chiefs are good enough they are not going to be drafting in the top 5 before then. If the Chiefs want a QB, they need to pick one to groom. This is a good year, the way it looks, to do so.

Many of us think Romo provides the Chiefs a better opportunity to win the Super Bowl while that QB gets groomed. If the Chiefs go out and get a QB in the draft that has the potential to be a starter when Alex retires, I won't bitch as much about Alex Smith being on the team, but I still think passing on Romo to keep Smith is stupid.

Trading the 1st overall for Cousins was also kicked around back then and in hindsight would have been the correct play.

For me, it's draft a QB at 27. Then either keep Smith or get Romo. Personally, I'd roll with Foles while I develop someone. I don't think the drop off is that dramatic from Smith to Foles. I like Romo but his health scares me. If KC can flat out sign him to a 3 year deal and let Kizer or Mahomes develop, that is ideal. I'm not a huge fan of watching Smith mentor someone. His pocket presence is awful and his decision making is ok.

So it's either sign or trade for Romo or keep Alex, while taking a QB at 27.

Oh I'm the same. I'd have no problem with staying with Smith or getting Romo if we drafted a QB. I think we'll need to move up to the teens to get Watson, the QB I want.

JFC you would shit on any gold brick not dressed in Chiefs gear. He threw for five ****ing thousand yards and 25TDs to 12 picks.

I'm curious because the QBs are all over the place. I like Mahomes but he's in that system from Texas Tech. His dad was a pro baseball player so he has the talent in his blood and his arm is amazing. Just haven't heard anything about his ability to read defenses. I watched Kizer back in high school in Toledo, so I'm biased. I'd love to get him but I don't see him getting passed Arizona. I'd love for KC to nut up and move up for a QB. But this organization is gutless. They play it safe all the time. I just want my first round QB.

I don't like associating what Dorsey or Reid do with the failures of past chiefs teams. They know how important QBs are. Reid's first ever draft pick was McNabb with the 2nd overall pick. I think he knows he has to get a QB to replace Smith.

Anyone think the Chiefs "tank" this season so they position themselves for a franchise signal caller in 2018?

- #2 SOS this season
- Risers like Oakland, a potential Romo signing in Houston or Denver, and Big Ben threatening retirement tells me KC is not a storyline this season.
- Aging/injured players on defense with a declining pass rush
- Big questions with Poe/Berry contract-wise
- Porous run defense with no quick fix in sight
- Off year for a visibly declining Maclin
- Running game efficiency declined as season wore on
- Smith's worst of his 4 years in KC.

It may be frustrating, but I would not be opposed to see Dorsey go full steam ahead on a minor rebuild. Draft a QB this year, and double down with a better one next year. Let some of the old, aging fat cats walk, collect compensatory picks, and build a young hungry, athletic team with a promising QBOTF at the helm.
