I also wonder if Flacco actually throwing the ball accurately to the point where his receivers can make a play after the catch had something to do with that SB win, as well.

Yeah it had nothing to do with boldin making catches none of our receivers would have. To me boldin was the MVP of that game. Did you see some of those catches. When all you have to do is throw a ball in to a 12x12 area and know your receiver is gonna win the battle who gets the credit?????!
How many times was he knocked down or sacked by arguably one of the best defenses is in the league. I think aldon smith got their once....maybe. You are right thought it had nothin to do with the receivers making plays at all, or the offensive line giving him 5 and six seconds to throw the ball that obviously had nothing to do with flaccos success. He was facing constant pressure and stood tallwith four guys around his ankles throwing it into windows the size of pennies.
No one is saying what you are claiming and you are being an absolute arse by doing so. We are saying that there are other options than reaching for a QB that may not be up to the task of leading a franchise vs trading for one that our current head coach drafted and likes in nick Foles. So how is TC being arrogant about a topic when you in turn won't move off your Geno effing smith pedestal. This sit is full of effing hypocrites.
You are correct, we dont have to take a chance on drafting a qb in the first, we can do business as usual and pick up some one elses washed up qb's and go 2 and 14 again. Certainly we have choices. Or we could draft a qb in the fifth round and keep him on the team for a couple of years and then release him. We all see how that stratagy has worked. Of course we take a risk on taking a qb in the first, but its a risk we have to take if we want to win the big one. We have a lot of talent on this team, and they wont stick around if they see no chance of winning and no qb gives us no chance of winning. 6 probowlers with our record? And people are still blind to the fact that teams cant win, without a very good or great qb. You wont find a qb in that catagory in fa very often. They have to be drafted. Theres a much better chance of scoring in the first round, and thats a fact.
Couldn't agree with you more, thats exactly my point! And the absolute best way to do that is drafting one in the first round. Its by FAR the best way to get a true Franchise QB. Its always a risk, but one that will pay off sooner then the old way the chiefs did it.
So just because we don't draft a qb means we are going to go 2-14 now? That's funny I don't recall Trent Green being bad for us and going 2-14 with him. Like it or not a number of teams have done will not drafting a QB. The Rams won a superbowl with a guy who was bagging groceries for crying out loud. There's MORE THEN 1 WAY to get a QB. You can deny it. And Getting a QB outside of the draft doesn't mean you're going to be a bad team. Unless you think the Saints have been horrible with Drew Brees. The Texans with Matt Schaub The Jets are far ahead of them because they drafted Mark Sanchez? Like I said this whole talk that "we have to take a QB at 1" Just isn't true. There are FACTS that go against it.
A QB at number 1 would be nice but only if one of the Qbs out there in the draft step up in the combine.
I don't, his OL gave him the time he needed to survey the field and make such a throw. I keep hearing about how a LT doesn't win Super Bowls. Well I agree, a LT by himself wins nothing the same as a QB. Many here, myself included, for years in seasons past lamented the fact that the team seemed to be ignoring the OL and drafted other positions. I don't discount at all in any way, shape, or form the need for a solid QB but also believe it all starts up front.
In other words we can draft or sign a line equal to to the OL that the Ravens have any Cassel or any other qb on the chiefs team would and could be comparable to Flacco?????????
It takes the entire team, not just the line. You could hand pick the best 5 front in the entire league and chances are he would not come up with more then 6 wins. The reason our OL looks weak, the every D knows he cant throw and all you have to do is blitz 2 3 or more guys and he will throw interception or sack or incomplete pass. The chiefs are and have been a 1 dementional football team and will remain so till the qb gets addressed.
Nope, absolutely NOT what I was saying at all. You're right, it does take the entire team, but offensively it all STARTS up front. It doesn't matter how good the QB is if he spends most of the time on his back looking up at the sky. As stated above: I DON'T discount the need for a solid QB. A good team is greater than the sum of its parts: the O-line has to block, running backs have to be able to utilize those blocks, QBs have to be able to make sound decisions in four seconds or less and deliver the ball, WRs have to get open and make the catch. Unfortunately a team doesn't get unlimited picks within the time allotted each round of the draft, so we're stuck with either taking the best player available or filling team holes and addressing the rest of team needs through FA.
