PhataLerror 370 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Rivers in KC would mean a likely Super Bowl, so yeah, I bet you guys would... Said the guy who thought the Broncos could get to the post-season with Trevor Siemian under center. I trust your quarterback evaluations now even less than I did three months ago.

eraser 722 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Let's not be silly. The Chiefs do not have the CAP space to waste on a veteran QB. Also, both Romo, and Rivers are under contract. A team will have to bid for either one, and that bidding will start with a first round pick for Rivers, and perhaps for Romo too. It Will Not Happen! The Chiefs can save CAP money by cutting or trading Alex Smith. However, they do not have what it will take to move up in the draft to draft a decent QB, and this is not a good year for QBs. Also, the current backup did not demonstrate the ability to do better than Smith. In fact, Foles was shown to be much worse. Foles will count $10.75 M against the CAP if he remains on the roster. The Chiefs may add a QB, but it will not likely be a first round or even second round pick. Unless the Chiefs have been hiding Tyler Bray's talents, they have no alternative but to keep Smith. My guess is the Chiefs will try to make a deal with Alex Smith that will enable them to reduce the CAP implications next year, and allow them to part with him after two or three seasons. Alex Smith is said to want a lot of money next time around. I don't think he will get it. I think he will ultimately be forced to settle for a CAP friendly extension that will allow for his salary to escalate with incentives or be cut free if things do not work out.

West 6,714 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 This was all about the usual suspects bitching about the Chiefs being non-aggressive about finding a franchise QB in the draft. The bottom line: Chiefs are on the right track building a VERY solid roster with tons of young talent that is only going to get better. Alex Smith or Nick Foles ( I do not see KC Keeping both) will be the starter next year barring a BLOCKBUSTER deal that would be very expensive. There are no obvious "franchise QB's" in the draft this year so unless the Chiefs take a runner on a couple of guys, the odds of us finding the next Dak Prescott are pretty low. What should change is the Chiefs QB criteria. Smart, highly mobile QB's with Big Arms have the most potential vs traditional pocket passers in today's game. The Chiefs have the potential to repeat 12-4 in 2017. The biggest challenge will be the Raiders.... w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eraser 722 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Where are you getting that "it is said he wants a lot of money next time around"? Could be sour grapes, but a retired player said as much. Last go round, his agent started the discussion with Cutler's contract as a standard. Alex's contract negotiations really don't have to start until next year. However, the Chiefs can cut him this year or extend him in order to save CAP money. So, in a way, this could be a contract year for Alex. I know there was a lot on the line for him to do well this season. He did OK. This was an up and down season for Smith. With the addition of talent, I expected Smith to throw for 4000 yards this season. If Smith did not get hurt in the Indy game, he may have come closer. Still, he threw for more yards than he has in the past. Three things derailed Smith. One, his injury. Two, the loss of Parker Ehinger. Three, Jeremy Maclin had his worst season in his career. This third thing may have affected Smith most. Maclin's friend passed, and he was in a funk. Following that, Maclin was injured, but tried to play through it. Maclin had the fewest yards, and fewest yards per game in his career. Smith could have been absolved of his poorer than expected results, if he only performed better in the playoffs. He normally plays well in the post season. His QBR was only 69.7, which was even lower than the debacle that occurred when they first played Pittsburgh this season.

Do you realize how hard they are to go? You are a Chiefs fan so you should. No one is that stupid. Carr is playing in his home state and all his family is here in Cali. he's not going anywhere.

They are pocket passers that can extend plays with their pocket presence. Rodgers is just another level. I agree that Wilson fits the bill.

azchief21 5,278 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Okay, How about more like Carr....Mobile Guys that have a big arm.... w Carr is mobile in the pocket and rolling out. Only 70 yards rushing all season. Smart and big arm sounds good. Mobile would be a bonus. Manning, Manning, Flacco, Rapelisberger, Brady, Brees. All pocket passers that move just well enough inside the pocket and they're Super Bowl champs. But to your point, it seems that the colleges are kicking out these read-option QBs so a few years down the road we might not have a choice.

Yes. All of those guys suck, too. No more retreads! Draft a quarterback or two every year if you have to. I don't care. Retreads have never gotten us to the dance.
