Pretty sure you can.

I'm willing to give Thiggy one more season, I'm holding out for McCoy. We should fix the O-line first, then put the franchise QB in place. What is 1 more year with out a franchise QB? Its not like we are going to make the playoffs next season.

At first I agreed with your post, coz I'd like to have more picks (with Pioli drafting) and a stud QB. But, then I realized if a stud QB is sitting there at #3, then the team moving up will be doing it to take him and we don't get him. Also, if the QB falls down in the draft it will mean that most teams don't consider them a stud and he may not be. So, I'll revert back to my "I'll trust Pioli."

I've said it before, I trust Pioli. I wouldn't pretend to tell him how to draft coz I don't know real talent from the over hyped. If he thinks a real QB is there we draft him, and I'll be pleased either way.

But, if there is a QBOTF, I think we should take him. As a side note: it's better to pay a QB the #3 pick money than another position. But, mainly because I feel a Peyton/Brady/Farve/Montana type of leader/QB would be the most important part of the puzzle of building a team. Yes, average QB's can lead a team (even to a SB), but great QB's makes it a whole lot easier. But, I think Pioli will know all of that.

Laz- once again you've COMPLETELY missed the point.

This whole debate has NOTHING to do with judgment of potential.

The Golden Rule of the draft: You don't pass on a potential franchise QB if you don't currently have one.

1) We don't have one.

2) Stafford and Sanchez are both universally considered POTENTIAL franchise QB's.


If Pioli were to draft one and they fail, so be it. Then you do what every other team does in that situation:

You draft another the first chance you get.

Just like the Bengals did after Aliki Smith busted.

Just like the Ravens did after Kyle Boller busted.

Just like the Falcons did after Mike Vick GOT busted.

And so on, and so on, and so on...

Can't....breathe.....send.....help............

You currently suck. You might be good sometime in the future:
Darth Carl Satan has the potential to be an average poster

I don't get this ... "let's wait until next year to draft a QB?" Just how do we draft a QB next year? Are you saying that Pioli and our new coach will be as bad as Carl/Herm and we will only win 2 games? You have to draft high in order to get a "franchise QB." I think we will win several games and will not have a chance at a QBOTF. So, if we get a chance and 1 of the top 2 is worth and sitting there for us, we should select him and build the O-line this year and next year.

But, from where I sit, I'd rather have either Stanford or Sanchez over McCoy. Not impressed with McCoy.

I don't know. It could be the fact that people have said Stafford would be worthy of a #1 overall selection since he was 16 goddamned years old, and he's done nothing but live up to that hype. Sanchez was the #1 recruit in the entire country, like Stafford, was in school for four years, and when he played, he was dominant.

I think I may get some mileage out of this image

Never did I say the Chiefs are going to be a 2 win team next season, but we should be drafting in the top 10-15 next season. And how the hell can't you be impressed with some one like McCoy? The guy only completed 77% of his passes. Plus he could end of being the 3rd rated QB next season, with Bradford and Teabow more then likely coming out next season. Plus McCoy isn't throwing to 4 and 5 star recruits like Sanchez does at USC.

Have you seen Stafford or Sanchez even play?

Joe Staley they ain't.

:spock:

Come on, now. Let's be intellectually honest. This isn't DC.

I've been hoping the Chiefs would get Teabagged for a long time now.

Perhaps others have seen me wax Lombardi about the 10 OL formations?

Uh, McCoy plays in the spread.

Sanchez and Stafford play in Pro-Style offenses.

McCoy will have a HUGE learning curve and will need to learn how to effectively play under center.

Furthermore, please explain how Texas, year in and year out, is in the top 5 of recruiting, but their receivers aren't as good as those at Georgia & USC.

That doesn't make any sense.

I think you missed his point.

Never pass on a potential franchise QB.
