Has he had a private workout yet?

I don't think there has been a private workout yet but we've interviewed him.

I don't know. Teams don't make such things public knowledge. Most of it comes from media rumors or "insider" info. From reports, they spoke with him at the combine. Usually don't get half the info on guys the team have spoken to or had workouts with anyhow. I'd assume, with this regime, they've done their due diligence on all the QB prospects. Kiyaa fits the mould rather well though. Smart, mature, can make NFL throws. He needs some work, but he's got some tools that fit.

That's cool...I think you are right on about the workouts.

Kaaya definitely has my attention.

And this is an extremely silly reason to like Kaaya, but I can't help myself... my oldest daughter's name is Kaiya...she is 6 years old. Her name is pronounced the same way as Kaaya... If he ended up as the Chiefs's QB (and hopefully decent), then Kaiya would likely become a full-fledged Chiefs fan... ya see, my wife is a die-hard Steelers fan and we are always competing with each other to try to get our daughters to like our teams...they usually side with their mom, but if they drafted Kaaya...and he worked out to the point where I was willing to buy her a Kaaya jersey...I think Kaiya would be all in on the Chiefs!!

I don't get the hate for Kaaya. Yes he was bad under pressure at times bc he had a shit OL, but how many QB's are good with pressure like that? Manning, Brady and Rodgers are the only one'S I can think of and even they turtle up when the heat gets to them constantly.

I think Kaaya could be a good QB here.

What a very interesting take. Like always said.. if you like the QB, "excuses" turn into legit reasons... and vice versa.

By your logic, Dorsey should have never drafted Peters or even Tyreek. God damn this post is stupid.

I like how you conveniently ignore the fact that this basket case literally QUIT football because he couldn't get his head together. What about that to you says he's going to dedicate himself to football after he gets paid? Peters and Tyreek never had the quitter tag before they were drafted so it's clearly not a good comparison.

And comparing Peters - a top flight talent and consensus 1st round pick who's dedication to football was never questioned and who was thrown off the team by a new head coach looking to put heads on stakes to establish dominance but only AFTER they were no longer bowl eligible - to Joe Williams, is smart?

The situations aren't even remotely comparable. At all.

As for Hill - if you're going to make that leap, at least stick with Mixon.

There's a better chance that Joe Williams goes undrafted than there is that he goes in the first 3. I'd be shocked if anyone grabs him before the 6th. I'd hazard a guess that you've seen exactly zero seconds of him running the football and yet you're salivating over taking him on the 2nd day.

You're a goddamn moron.

It's already been proven that Alex Smith ****ing causes more sacks.

28 sacks last year (his lowest total in KC) and he was complete ****ing garbage. What's your excuse for that one?

Sometimes I wonder how long after we dump Alex that it will take you to ditch the Chiefs and CP... and my initial thought is, "immediately."

However, part of me thinks you may actually stick around after Alex is gone...especially if we find a QB that the majority of us like...You'll stick around and pout and piss in our punch bowl because we are loving on some other QB not named Alex.

Nah, you'll probably be gone...following whatever Alex is doing after football.

I shoulda gone to law school, you said that way better than I did.

My problem with Kaaya is that he's deceptively unathletic.

To look at the guy, everything about him looks lean, angular and explosive. But then when it comes time to actually move he's feet, he's just a statue.

So when you have a guy that doesn't do a good job of standing in and delivering, nor does he do a good job of using his legs to buy time or create yards, you have to wonder how he could ever succeed at the next level.

Because it would seem that the only way is to give him a line where he's only pressured 2-3 times/gm and frankly that's just not going to happen. Even with an outstanding line, if teams recognize that he can't handle pressure, they'll send the house at him and overload the line while daring him to beat them.

There are things about Kaaya that I like (more accurately, there are moments I like), but he just seems like he's missing an 'oh shit' gear. He has nothing to go to when the maelstrom strikes.

Cam Newton quit on Florida. So there's that.

Do you think the areas that he's lacking are fixable? If so, easily fixable or something(s) that may take a while?
