I hated Josh Freeman and still do.
That said, even a pick that dumb would have been better than taking Jackson. Hell, the only pick that's even in the same ballpark of dumbassery is the Raiders' selection of DHB, and even then they only had to pay him about half of what we paid Jackson, and he might still be a good WR once he gets real QB play.

I have about 5% faith that Mr Freeman will be anything more than a career backup qb. Kyle Boller is the closest comparison I can make for why. And in many respects. As I said before, I wanted to hold off on drafting a qb till 2010 and for us to shore up some other needs first. The list of underclassmen qbs with such a low amount of experience is small and very very unimpressive. FA Jeff Garcia Kendall Simmons Draft Orakpo Mauluaga ol ( I am actually happy with the Magee pick, as he could be a player for us.) ol/bpa ol/bpa Draft Bradford in 2010. that was basically my plan. Not the complete one, as that would take more time to post and I dont want to go back through my old posts to fill in the rest at this point. It probably would have failed too, but at least we would have had a much improved defense and could protect a qb once we got him... Last edited by BossChief; 12-18-2009 at 05:29 PM.. |

And give me a ****ing break. Wallace Gilberry is a good alternative to Jackson? I have no idea who will be better between Jackson and Magee, but you're also suggesting the Chiefs should have passed on Jackson in favor of a rawer prospect who may or may not have been available in the third round? You list Gilberry and Magee as alternatives, and yet call me an idiot. Interesting. Quote:

Are you saying that if we could have drafted Kyle Boller or Ty Warren at 3, you would have taken Boller? If so, I dont get it. "thats all one needs to know" Who cares if he was first or second team All American? He is a specialty player for the most part. He is a rare type of player to find and they dont grow on trees, players like him are some of the hardest to find and with about half the league going to 3-4 defenses, they will be valued higher and higher through the years. The more the 3-4 becomes popular, the more you will see teams taking 5-tecs with high picks because of how slim the pickings usually are for the position. I doubt very highly that MS busts that bad. |

Jackson is a TWO DOWN PLAYER. Only YOU and Scott Pioli can justify taking a TWO DOWN PLAYER at #3 overall. Quote:
For the last time, a 3-4, 5 tech defensive end is NOT AN IMPACT POSITION. Tyson Jackson could be the greatest 5 tech of all time (which he won't) and no one would even notice. |

A QB (you know, the guy that's most responsible for wins and losses on a football team?) is MORE VALUABLE than a 5-Tech, 3-4 defensive end. Got it? I'm not going to argue your "opinion" of Freeman vs. my "opinion" of Tyson Jackson. The bottom line is that all things being equal, a QB is infinitely more valuable to ANY franchise than a 3-4, 5 tech DE. Got it? |

I keep bringing this point up but nobody seems to care.
Jackson was drafted to be a three-down player, and early in the season, HE WAS. He was playing 3-tech on passing downs. Clearly, the Chiefs thought he was worth taking so high because they thought he could be a dominating inside pass rusher by moving inside in their nickel defense. They even put Glenn Dorsey ON THE BENCH because they thought Jackson could do a better job. While this dispels the notion that Jackson was drafted to be only a two-down player, if actually works AGAINST the Chiefs in this case because Jackson's pass rush sucked so horribly early on they decided they'd put Dorsey back out there again. But, for the true fans, I guess they can hope that next season Jackson will find a pass rush. At least that would somewhat justify his draft position. Better than being a two-down player, anyway.
