Chiefs We wanted Paxton Lynch - Page 5

CanadaKC · 08-03-2016, 08:59 PM

…this is probably old news here…but Lee Steinberg was on sports radio today saying how the Chiefs were scrambling to move up to get him, only to be outdone by the Broncos. We were actually thinking of drafting a QBOTF? Here's hoping we actually win one of these "trade up" scenarios and steal the player, rather than the enemy stealing him.

Dorsey did nothing to influence Elway

Elway knew who he wanted and traded up to get him. Dorsey knew who he wanted and watched someone else draft him.

Not according to the most reliable source. Sorry bud. You win some and you lose some!

Oh look another idiot ignoring the facts.

C'mon. If they were going to trade up, it would have been for a corner. When they were all gone, they traded down and took Jones. I can't see Dorsey using a bunch of picks, especially handicapped by the loss of the third, to try to get a QB that doesn't fit the system and would sit behind Alex for a couple of years.

Broncos trying to justify their pick lol

Mile High Mania · 08-04-2016, 07:36 AM

I don't know what facts you're referring to and sure, I suppose the agent could be spinning a tale, but what's to be gained there? I dunno. I'm sure there were a few teams interested in jumping into the 20's to take him.

This notion that Dorsey was pulling strings to influence Denver's strategy is fun, but it's no more realistic than what the agent is saying, quite honestly.

And, the proof is in the pudding.. we'll see how it pans out and if Lynch turns out to be a solid starter, then Broncos fans can thank Dorsey at that time.

Fans on message boards like conspiracy theories and believing in this thought that their GM is better than most and they do all these wonderful teams to bolster their team, while sticking it to rivals. I get it.

Going into the draft, mocks were all over the place with here Lynch would fall. I made a comment here that if he fell into that mid 20s area, that would be where the Broncos would strike, if they really liked him. You can look it up in the thread, I recall someone quoting my comment with something in regards to "pretty much nailed what happened" after the fact.

Who knows if he's worth the pick, but that's what you do with QB prospects that you think have a shot of being starters - you make a move and you go get that guy. Whether he's a project or not.

Now, did Elway place some bets with Sanchez while he was hoping to craft a deal for Kaepernick? Yes, nothing in my soul tells me they genuinely wanted Sanchez - who would? But, he's there and they'll roll with it until Lynch shows he's ready or until Sanchez buttfumbles his way to the bench, which I can see happening going into week 5.

Lynch is a slow brained goofy dufus. Will suck and not amount to much.

Back in your cave junior. I told you what happened, so **** off

O.city · 08-04-2016, 07:52 AM

I'd imagine they were interested in him. They scouted him pretty hard all year iirc.

Interested enough to trade up for? Who knows.

Wildcat2005 · 08-04-2016, 08:02 AM

Weren't people on here saying the Chiefs were visiting Lynch's middle school coaches and stuff. Like they were going out of their way to find anyone who coached him at any level to gain intel.

Seems like a lot of smoke for a player that they apparently had 0 interest in.

Also why is Peter King the more reliable source than the agent?
Why would Peter King have a better understanding of the teams interested than the guy who was actually talking to those teams?
More over I am not sure what is to be gained from the agent just straight up lying.

I guess this is another conspiracy then?
Like how the NFL is rigged?
Lynch's agent wanted to start a rumor about Kansas City....just cause

BleedingRed · 08-04-2016, 08:05 AM

Best part about Lynch is he has to play under center in Gary's offense.... This should be fun to watch

Mile High Mania · 08-04-2016, 08:34 AM

It's all noise at this point... wasting time debating it.

is all it is right now

Sure, then again Gary is not known for developing QB's either.

So you're, now, essentially repeating what I've been saying all off-season...that Elway botched this situation in a horrible way and the guy he traded for will likely be benched by game 5. He's been riding the "Manning influence" coat-tails for 4 years...the cracks in his "used car salesman shtick" are starting to show.

KC just signed a back-up that is better than anyone on the Broncos roster....

TomBarndtsTwin · 08-04-2016, 08:45 AM

Who knows what the truth really is? Do you believe the lawyer/agent or the NFL Insider? Guess it depends which team you are a fan of.

But what is more likely, knowing Dorsey's track record?

1) The Chiefs were trying to trade up to get Lynch, a strong armed QB with questionable accuracy and shoddy footwork, who doesn't really fit Andy Reid's West Coast system?

OR

2) The Chiefs were doing their homework and due diligence on him hoping that someone would think the CHiefs were interested and instead trying to get someone to trade up and ultimately help them to acquire more picks in a deep draft, where they had already been screwed out of a 3rd round pick by the Commish?

Like someone else said, it's pointless to argue about it. We don't know for sure. And each fanbase is going to come down on the side that makes their team look best. But ask yourself which scenario is more likely true . . . . . .
