I think there's a better chance of Len Dawson playing again for the Chiefs than Tom Brady in KC.<BR/><BR/>Matt Cassell, on the other hand? I could legitimately see that - and that makes me nervous.Lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01123559650973293179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292143549952915437.post-9438433502917323342009-01-23T15:10:00.000-06:002009-01-23T15:10:00.000-06:00C'mon Mr. editor, deep down, I know you like the B...C'mon Mr. editor, deep down, I know you like the Brady idea.<BR/> Not sure what the definition of "Poetic Justice" truly is, but this Brady thing might be close regarding the never ending negative comments the editor has written about Mr. Brady on this blog.<BR/><BR/>What a coup......<BR/><BR/>B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292143549952915437.post-7966915910754860672009-01-23T10:27:00.000-06:002009-01-23T10:27:00.000-06:00I think being a game-manager can only work if your...I think being a game-manager can only work if your team excels in one part of the game - i.e: running game in Carolina or defence in Baltimore.<BR/><BR/>Kansas City has neither the defence nor running game to have simply a game-manager at quarterback. If those areas improve, then ya, all you would need is a quarterback who doesn't kill your team week after week.Lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01123559650973293179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292143549952915437.post-89627810620900192272009-01-23T09:46:00.000-06:002009-01-23T09:46:00.000-06:00I like the idea of brady in kc colors..... I'm no...I like the idea of brady in kc colors..... I'm not sure what will happen with that situation but my guess is that cassel would go, cahnces of breakout year followed by terrible year....ask derek anderson.<BR/><BR/>I think thigpen could lead them the promised land. You dont need to be great at passing, but more of a great game manager. <BR/><BR/>Delhomme sucked all season, they made the playoffs were almost the top seed, tavaris jackson... he did win at the end to get them into the dance. Pennington / Collins, good at managing the game but neither would you trust for a game winning drive in the last 2 minutes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292143549952915437.post-5466537168418420212009-01-22T22:31:00.000-06:002009-01-22T22:31:00.000-06:00I feel for your burden Napoleon.

Righting the world economy would be an easier task and require less strategy than turning around the Chiefs.<BR/><BR/>Two schools of thought exist:<BR/>1. Improve via free agency and trades - this is a potential quick fix that is ladden with pitfalls ie: cap issues, team chemistry (hello Brett Favre), overpay and underperform.<BR/><BR/>2. Improve via the draft - this is a longer term strategy with no guarantee that your team will actually get better however, my two cents is that this is a strategy with a better track record and has proven to be a plan on which dynasties are built.<BR/><BR/>Maybe just maybe for KC, a hybrid approach is most prudent.<BR/> <BR/>In the NFL if you don't have an above average QB, you don't make the playoffs, period. I don't have this Thigpen fellows stats at my fingertips, however, my gut tells me he is not going to lead the Chiefs to the promised land. Sooooooo trade for a decent QB and build your defence via the draft. Now what QB might be available? Hmmmm. I know this would be the end of Napoleon in Rags as we know and love him but I see a KC connection to New England from a front office perspective, and I see a potential QB controversy brewin' in NE.<BR/> How bout Tom Brady to KC for Johnson, Gonzo and a 4th rounder?<BR/>Who he might throw the ball to or hand it off to for that matter may be a slight issue but an issue that needs tending to regardless of who might be the KC Chiefs quarterback.<BR/><BR/>Problem solved.<BR/> <BR/>Yer' welcome.<BR/><BR/>BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292143549952915437.post-52380585197839905282009-01-22T17:02:00.000-06:002009-01-22T17:02:00.000-06:00shannahan should be going to the cowboys, but for ...shannahan should be going to the cowboys, but for some reason wade is still around. <BR/><BR/>Would Haley be a good choice?? it works with Warner, having him throw 2 out of every 3 plays to players like fitz and boldin, but with thigpen throwing to ?? and ?? <BR/><BR/>I agree with getting rid of gonzo, a team that could use him...carolina. no idea about cap space or anything like that but clearly delhomme needs a solid dump off guy.<BR/><BR/>LJ would be hard to get rid of, the injuries being a big part of that, so I cant see any team wanting him as their feature back.<BR/><BR/><BR/>as far as drafting..defense is always the way go..when your rebuilding. It's still early but I think passing on young and bush was good for houston, though they really should have traded down. Intresting note after looking at that draft class...not a very good 1st round and also Colston was in that draft year and was the 252nd pickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
