Comments on: Addict's Afflictionary: Post-Blackledge Stress Disorder http://arrowheadaddict.com/2009/02/25/addicts-afflictionary-post-blackledge-stress-disorder/ A Kansas City Chiefs blog Thu, 29 Jul 2010 20:41:23 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Gump http://arrowheadaddict.com/2009/02/25/addicts-afflictionary-post-blackledge-stress-disorder/comment-page-1/#comment-2987 Gump Fri, 27 Feb 2009 03:30:51 +0000 http://arrowheadaddict.com/?p=2996#comment-2987 Yes Chase Daniel did very well in college, his leadership is probably his best asset. But he does not have the body to be a legitimate contender in the NFL. He will get a shot as a late rounder I believe because of his other attributes, but he will not and should not go early in the draft. Chase is at best a project and a long shot to make it in the NFL. That is not to take anything away from what he has accomplished or the dream that he could make it as an underdog. And I personally agree that if your talking about Sanchez and Stafford, why not throw in any other college QB with good stats. Those 2 are weak prospects and everybody knows it. This draft is replete with LB and OL talent, 2 places we really need help. What better time to address those positions? Next year the QB position will be far superior in the draft, Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) Colt McCoy (texas), Zack Robinson (Oklahoma State) Case Keenum (University of Houston) And even Tim Tebow make this years 2 clowns look like exactly that. I would pick up one of the later QBs (My personal favorite as I have posted before is Rhett Bomar out of Sam Houston) and put him to work, IF we're gonna have a project anyway, might as well call it what it is and not waste a high draft pick and a lot of money.

Uhm....if we are running a version of the spread offense (this is of course if we stick with Chan's plan) with Tyler, why wouldnt we be looking for a potential spread offensive style QB? Where I am going with this is WHY is everyone just talking about Sanchez and Stafford? What ever happened to Chase Daniel? Uhh....he's done a hell of alot more than Sanchez and will be down in that middle draft pick area. Why? I guess because he played for more than one year and he is only 6'....dont know. My opinion he did better than Stanford and easily has more experience than Sanchez....check the numbers.... CAREER #s Sanchez - Att Comp Pct Yds TD Int Rating 487 313 64.3 3,965 41 16 153.9 Stanford - Att Comp Pct Yds TD Int Rating 987 564 57.1 7,731 51 33 133.3 Daniel - Att Comp Pct Yds TD Int Rating 1609 1094 68.0 12,515 101 41 148.9 Whatever happend to looking at the stats? I would never take...let me say again, NEVER TAKE a one year and out QB. Give me a guy who has put in the work, did his 4 years, and has some good tape to evalutate him. Not some flash in the pan kid who no one knew until a year ago. Crazy to pick one of those two guys that high up when you can get a guy who has had better numbers in the mid rounds. Sorry for the long post, just hate to see everyone jumping on the supposed two best QB picks for the draft who to me dont deserve it. First time poster, so pardon me if I ask a silly question here.

The trouble is, this is a weak year for QB's. The last time we took a QB in the first round, it was a great time, but we missed the three or four hall of famers. This time there is no John Elway, and the two guys we have to choose from this year would likely have been later round picks in that draft. I actually wonder where they would be projected in many of the previous drafts. These are some guys I think would be ahead of at least Sanchez if they were coming out this year. Tim Couch, Akili Smith, Cade McNown, David Carr, Joey harrington, Kyle boller, and JP Lossman. We don't want to draft a pretty good QB. If we do that, it will keep us from drafting a stud later. From 1999 to now there have been five sure fire franchise QB's drafted in the first round: McNabb, Palmer, Manning, Rivers?, and Rothlisberger. I know Matty Ice looked good last year, but so did Leftwich, so I'm leaving out the maybe's and probably's. I don't see a Matt Ryan or any of these other huy in this draft. I see Ryan Leaf, and Joey harrington when I look at this class. Hell, I liked Matt Ryan last year, but if we would have been in position to take him, he likely would have gotten hurt. If not, I think we would still be picking third this year and Adam would still be yacking about how we should draft a QB. Because obviously, a QB picked at #3 would be better than one picked at #5. QB is absolutely the most important position and you want to get the best one in ten years, not the one that makes the top ten of his draft class by default. If Pioli and company think a QB is the best player available at #3, I'm all for the pick. Otherwise pick anything else. If he's not the best available prospect at #3, it's unlikely he's the next John Elway. I totally agree, the Chiefs need to draft a franchise QB. The trouble is, this is a weak year for QB’s.
