The Chiefs are taking Geno #1; bank on it

Andy loves him some QBs. And KC has been a bottomless pit of QB suckage. While folks initially freaked out over the ASmith signing (me included), once they locked up Bowe and Albert, it seemed pretty clear that Geno will be the choice at #1.

People say you don't draft a QB #1 to sit on the bench, the first pick of the draft isn't a backup QB. They are right. They say ASmith will be the starter, especially given his compensation. They are right. Ummm, does that mean that Geno is being groomed for a year or two behind Alex? Not necessarily.

What? That is nonsense!

Only in the traditional sense.

I think Reid and Dorsey are thinking waaay outside the box on this one.

If (when) the Chiefs draft Geno, the whole idea of a "backup" QB will be shook up. "Backup" will be a matter of semantics. "Starting" will be a matter of semantics as well.

Reid and Dorsey both see the need for 2 "starting caliber" QBs on a team in today's NFL. San Fran proved beyond a shadow of a doubt last year that it really pays to have 2 QBs on your team who can start for you.

If one "starting caliber" QB goes down, you have another "starting caliber" QB ready to be plugged in and the team doesn't miss a beat.

It has been repeated ad nauseum on this board that the QB is the most important position in all of football. When you have an offense that is predicated on throwing the football 40+ times a game, you can't afford to have a dropoff in productivity should one of your QBs goes down for a time, otherwise your season is effectively over.

Reid and Dorsey get this.

As fans, especially Cheifs fans, we need to rethink our conceptions of "backup" and "starting" and realizing we are entering an era of "starting caliber" QBs.

We are being built to win.

We are being built to win even in the face of adverse contingencies.

We are going to win.

And I like it.

It's not about Smith. It's about Joeckel.

Anyone who declares that Smith is out, But Joeckel is still in play can go eat a bowl of dicks.

After the tagging of Albert, the likely hood of drafting Smith went up and Joeckel went down.

If you don't believe that there is a better chance now that Smith is the guy, fine.

But don't sit here and tell me that Joeckel is still a likely target.

This I agree with. I can't see them drafting Joeckel now. But I still have a bad feeling that they won't draft a QB with the #1 pick. Perhaps they'll trade down and grab a QB (be it Geno or someone else - depending on how far they trade down). I'm really clueless as to what they're thinking at this point.

If they signed Albert, I'd feel stronger about this. Drafting a T at 1.1 that they can ease into the lineup having Albert around for one more year is something I could see. I would hate it, but I could see it.

First of all, we don't officially know the compensation for Alex. And second, even if it is 2 seconds, a first and 2 seconds is a small price to pay if they think they have a good shot at addressing the QB position for the next decade or so.

You can rationalize all you want, but nothing short of seeing them actually do it on draft day is going to convince me it was ever even a remote possibility. I just don't see it happening. People are coming up with all these fantasy scenarios, when the reality is...Alex Smith is our quarterback, and will be our quarterback for the forseeable future. The sooner folks come to grips with that, the less of a disappointment April 25th will be, whatever happens that day.

While this is probably true, have you seen a worse group of Qbs in the last 10 years on 1 team? Drastic measures were/are needed.

You don't ease tackles into the lineup, especially ones that you draft in the 1st round. LT's typically aren't going to get better by sitting on the bench.

QB's however......

We don't know. That's the truth.

Before Albert was tagged, everyone thought it would Be Joeckel. Dorsey/Reid have effectively filled the majority of their holes on the roster, allowing them to do whatever the hell they want w/ #1, including drafting for depth.

My heart says QB, but my brain says DL, or maybe even Milliner. Every option is on the table, though I think an OL is the least likely option, because it doesn't fill a need and it's not the kind of position you sit and develop.

They better not slide back behind the Cardinulls. I live in Phoenix, and the team is gushing about Barkley.

If we don't take Luke Joeckel or Eric Fisher with the first pick, we are jackasses for not trading down.

I can listen to any argument about abilities and needs. In fact, I can almost buy the need for Geno Smith (although I still doubt his abilities). but any fool who wastes anything more than a 7 or 8 pick for Geno Smith may as well piss dollars and give away bank accounts. Why take only Smith when you can have Smith and another pick, more cash, or a complimentary player?

For those of you that believe Geno Smith is a number 1 pick, I have a 1976 Ford Fairmount that I will sell you for 29,000.00 cash.
