Could this end up being a more disappointing offseason than 2009?

[keg in kc]

I'm thinking purely personnel moves. The coaching staff has a better pedigree, even if Reid is basically the last guy I wanted here. But player-wise? What are we looking at here?

Now this is not really a "draft Geno/Barkely/whoever" thing, it's more of a "how ****ed are we as fans of this franchise?" commentary. About the circumstances we, as fans, find ourselves in. I mean, think about it: we get the number one pick and for whatever reason, whether it's the prospects at the position or the front office philosophy, we aren't taking a QB. We get a complete turnover of the front office and coaching staff that basically everyone wanted, and Matt Cassel will be shown the door, to everyone's joy....yet our new quarterback is Alex frikkin Smith. With Chase Daniel serving as his boy wonder.

Does it get worse than this? Seriously. You couldn't script this stuff. This is like the Bad News Bears and the Indians from Major League had a baby who decided to play football. "Change" comes every 5 years or so, but nothing ever seems to get any better.

The football gods continue laughing.

waaaaaaaaa

[Mr_Tomahawk]

Yes.

[farmerchief]

No

[burt]

THE SKY IS FALLING......too late....it fell last year!

[WhitiE]

Maybe?

[TomBarndtsTwin]

Amen.

Tired of ending up with everyone else's cast-off as our next "franchise" quarterback.

I'm going to say yes.

There was 1 QB in the 2009 draft and he went #1.

This year the Chiefs have #1. They needed to make a move at QB and they choose to go from Cassel and Quinn to Alex Smith and Chase Daniel. Now we are looking at trading down and picking a RT/future LT and trading Albert in a year.

What a ****ing disaster. The Chiefs are doomed to forever be morons.

Prett accurate and pretty depressing.

Reid saw how everyone did it in the past and figured he'd do it differently. So he traded for a backup and then signed a backup.

But the Hunt's don't dictate these moves, it is just coincidence that the very same ****ing thing has been repeated for 30 years now, under 3 GMS and 7 HCs.

The Hunt's DO dictate these moves. By HIRING the reeruns that keep repeating the same ****ing thing. The only question that should be asked in the interview is what do you plan to do about the QB position. If ANY part of the answer included TRADING for someone else's castoff, move to the next candidate.

[Strongside]

I'm feeling pretty good about this offseason. **** you guys.

[Rausch]

As someone posted earlier: we wen't from having the worst QB's in the AFCW to having the worst QB's in the AFCW.

And that's AFTER spending about $11 mil and a 2nd round draft pick...

Just like 2009, this draft ****ing sucks. Biggest difference is there is no Matt Stafford in this draft.
