With our success rate in developing QB's, I'll take the one who is more NFL ready.

This. Or Elvis Grbac.

Ok,

Detroit takes Stafford, and Rams take Sanchez...

then what??

I'm not going to let history dictate my opinion, especially now, when we are ready to start a new chapter in our history.

BPA.

DE.

I think the Rams draft a LT.

:shake:

You're hitting on all cylindars tonight. I may forgive that Gretchen Wilson post if this keeps up.

I agree.

Really? I should quit while I'm ahead. I'll end up saying something completely stupid.

I think the Rams should draft a LT.

But nothing would surprise me with Devaney running the show.

I have no doubts that if Stafford is the highest rated player on his board, he'll take him at #2, then sit him for a year (or two) until Bulger's cap hit becomes a bit more manageable to absorb. And with Stafford only being 20 years old, it's not a bad play at all.

Right now, FWIW, the fans seem split between a QB and a LT.

Thanks.

No no no... you go girl..... you're on FIIIIYYYYYYAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, and if Brady is ready to go, he'll be traded. The only reason they'd franchise him is so they can get something for him. They couldn't have the money to pay a top 5 QB salary and whatever Brady will end up costing them.

AS I asked before, can they trade him next year if they franchise him? Or would they have to wait a year?

Yes, they can trade him.

Sorry I read Pat's news and he is going to be franchised and will get the salary too. He will not be traded until after 2009, if they do, after a firm assessment of Brady's condition and successful return.

Score one for the Lady! This!

i think cassel has a future in the league, but they won't let him go until after next season

How many fugging jobs has Parcells had in the last 8 years? The guy is all over the map. I want someone committed to the Kansas City Chiefs. Parcells is not it.

You don't spend 14 mil on a backup, proven or not. The Pats have to trade him.

Since Cleveland is basically going with the Kokinis/Mangini combo, it's either say in NE or come to KC for Pioli.

I'm just shocked if he takes the job. It's like something fainlly has gone right for this organization.

They will if they are at all unsure about Brady's status. It doesn't sound like his surgery recovery is going that well.

They will pay him that much for one year because they can't afford to let him go and then have Brady not be healthy for Week 1 of 2009

Then I curse because nothing ever goes right for the Chiefs.

I wouldn't at all be surprised to see that happen. In fact being a Chiefs fan I expect it to happen. :spock:

hmmm, silver lining

best defensive player in the draft i guess

ROFL:cuss:

These.

I hate to get excited early, but I am so jacked up that this might actually happen. Pioli is from my hometown and having him become the Chiefs GM would be a dream come true.

There's some strange-brew happening around here for sure. One of our hopeful HC's is a graduate and football player from a college in the town I grew up in.

That is correct... you can't have close to $30 million tied up into two QBs.

they're looking for a sucker

or they think brady's done

lmao

WTH? Your off next years christmas list.:LOL:

I look for new ways to misspell it. It is a sign of disrespect.

Doesn't work for me. I misspell everything so its not a true diss.:)

:LOL:

Exactly. Parcells will never be the face of the Kansas City Chiefs.

But he sure would be a great resource for his son-in-law to call about some issues with the Chiefs or a question on a player.

From Peter King this morning:

And Now For the Employment Gossip. It's no coincidence that every network on planet earth -- except maybe Al Jazeera -- had Eric Mangini as the Cleveland's coaching leader in the clubhouse. Either we're all being totally snowed (gee, that's never happened before), or Mangini's going to be the coach of the Browns soon. The topic to me that's as interesting as the Mangini one is what it means for New England vice president of player personnel Scott Pioli, who is clearly the top candidate out there to run a front office. Two weeks ago, I was sure Cleveland owner Randy Lerner was going to fire coach Romeo Crennel and thought he'd fire GM Phil Savage -- and if he did, he'd lay out the red carpet from Foxboro to Berea to make sure he stole Pioli from Bill Belichick's side. But clearly, something has happened in the last few days that I didn't expect.

First, I have to issue a major mea culpa to the radio listeners who heard me say the other day Mangini would never get the Cleveland job. Stupid me; never say never in January. I thought in midweek Mangini would never get the Cleveland job because I thought Pioli was going to be the general manager, and yes, someday the Manginis and Piolis and Belichicks will link arms and sing "Kumbaya,'' but I don't think they're all quite ready to do that right now. (At least not without metal detectors being used for their grad reunion.) My apologies for misleading you.

But it leaves me questioning Pioli's future. Could he get swept off his feet by a man he'll have much in common with, Kansas City owner Clark Hunt, when they meet this week? Will Pioli return to the safety of the dynastic womb in New England? That's something I never thought a possibility in December, but the longer it goes without him leaving the nest, the more chance there is he might stay.

Only unofficially.

Nah, you spelled it right on the first page of this thread.

I was impressed, your KU education has served you well.

Not quite as good as Parcell's WSU education though.

So?

You know this whole Pioli is a control freak speculation is surreal.

If I were a GM of an NFL team I'd want final say and total control of FA's brought in, the draft and when we let go or re-sign our current players. Thats not being a control freak thats wanting to control your own destiny not allowing others to screw up and take you down with them.

I hate it when that happens. :)

So I don't want him officially as the face of the Chiefs. The Chiefs will become the face of Parcells instead. If we hire his son-in-law, one assumes he will tap into Parcells mind every once in a while anyway. Why hire him officially?

So your saying that if we hire Pioli Parcells will be the real power behind the throne?

No, just an available resource that his son in law can tap into for advice every now and then. I don't think Pioli wants a PBTT.

I'm not even sure if they're close anymore. When Belichick left the Jets for the Pats that went to court with allegations of lying made by both sides under oath. That case was Belichick vs. Parcells and Pioli took Belichick's side. Belichick and PArcells aren't close anymore as a result. Parcells hired a GM last winter - if they were close, don't you think it would have been Pioli?

PBTT? wtf is a PBTT, a peanut butter tater tot?

Put it in her
Butt

Times.

You can have Dominik as far as I'm concerned! :D

For Christ's sake, hire the man already.

Christ is no longer available. Although the task is somewhat biblical in proportion.

Who would want to work for their father in law?

Hopefully we find out if Pioli is coming or not today, so we can move on either way

True. Especially a man of ambition and ego as Pioli has been painted to be.

Edgerton Hartwell said we should know within 48 hours...

I'd hate for Clark to make a decision before interviewing either of the candidates from the Ravens.

Agreed.

I hope so, too, but doesn't he have more places to go for interviews? I didn't figure we'd know until he was done everywhere else.

I just want it to get done, so Herm can get the hell out. If we wait then i think Herm sticks around

I think its pretty much us or go back to NE.

If Clark truly believes that Pioli is the guy - you hire him immediately if he wants the job.

Understand your point about the guys from B-More though.

I would be happy with either Pioli, Polian or Decosta

I heard Cleveland backed off of Pioli because he is asking for a very large salary. Anyone heard any dollar amount specifics?

I'm sure Carl was making a pretty hefty sum, I don't think money is that big of an obstacle.

yup agreed

I just wanted you to know I know how to spell it but I rarely spell it right.

I thought it was the total control thing

Man who knows? I heard on Sporting News Radio this morning that Pioli's $$ demands drove him out of Cleveland's range but it could just as easily be the way you heard it.

Right now it is all rumor and innuendo.

I believe Carl was actually relatively low on the pay-scale, but I may be wrong about that.

You are way wrong on that. He was Elpresidente/CEO/GM of the Chiefs. He was raking it in.

Nobody here knows how much money Carl Peterson was being paid.
