Strong is gonna do good things for that team if they give him more time than Texas.

I thought the Chiefs were gonna give the game away. Alex Smith is good enough but without that D, the Chiefs are done. They need a better QB soon.

What better QB? He is like the 10th-12th, just without the ceiling of a Fluke-o, but much more consistent.

They desperately need to draft someone. Foles isn't gonna cut it and Bray (third string) is a project who has been in the league a few years now and although he has shown some improvement during preseason, he probably isn't the long term answer. Alex has had some really good moments this year but they've been overshadowed by some really bad moments. The main issue is that he isn't able to scramble like he used to. Although he did get a first down with his legs tonight, that's one of the few times he's done so this year. Not sure if it's due to him getting old or if he's just really afraid of concussions after taking hits in Indianapolis and hitting his head on the concrete there that they consider "turf". Obviously his arm hasn't been the strongest during his career, but he's always been able to scramble and pick up a lot of yards that way, usually to the point where the other team would have to spy him, which would free up his receivers. Teams don't have to do that this year because he has barely run the ball at all, which has hurt him quite a bit.

I don't follow college ball so I'm not sure what QB's are gonna be available this year but hopefully the Chiefs can snag one. However, the most pressing need right now is MLB since DJ is up there in the years and, after rupturing his other achilles tonight, is probably done for his career. Maybe they try to get a QB late and try to go with Alex as long as they can but that's not gonna be too much longer.

I don't love him either, but the Chiefs need to hope for Dak 2.0 (wilson 3.0? brady 4.0?) They aren't going to get an obvious elite talent with this defense, and honestly this is a bad QB class, next year will be as well if Rosen's injury doesnt improve.

eh, lamar jackson is probably #1 in that draft class now given rosen's injury doubts and his outward personality.
edit: hell even jake browning could overtake him

L Jax has serious development to go through. Don't love him or Browning yet. Not that it matters to the Chiefs, they ain't gonna be in position to pick those guys.

They can always trade up but I think they should pick up Kaaya from Miami. He's the next best thing. Or look to a D2 school. There's a Brady out there waiting for his chance to shine.

really happy that the chiefs and raiders are playing well this year, i think at least one of these teams is making the AFC championship if not the superbowl.

They'll make the AFC championship. But remember they have to go through the Patriots. Every team has to face them.

My Texas loyalties belong to Texas Tech, but good on Houston for not being associating with Kiffin.

I can see why passing on Kiffin. That's a lot of...stuff, to deal with. In 2 years you might be contenders, but there's a scandal waiting to happen with him. From illegal recruiting practices to player treatment. (Not saying he would do that, but I feel that's his vibe for some reason haha)

Fluke-o is an awesome pun. Superbowl winners usually have an elite defense, elite qb or a high variance qb that gets hot at the right time. Fluke-o got hot at the right time.

Alex Smith is still good enough that the Chiefs can wait another year if they don't find a qb they like in this draft. Their teams lucked into Dak, Brady and I think Wilson as well. It's hard to find qbs like that. Smith protects the ball well because he's a checkdown master. He went a year without throwing a td pass to a wr early on his Chiefs career.

The word is they passed on Kiffin because he refused to negotiate a contract with a high buyout. Houston said they didn't want to deal with the coach being bought out and leaving in 2 years again

That makes sense. I guess the times are changing. No one plays or coaches without being paid in full no matter the outcome

As a Pitt fan I also get this. Somehow our coach "upgraded" to ASU and Wish after .500 seasons. Like, wtf? Hopefully Narduzzi stays and keeps the ball rolling.

the worst was probably Arkansas State a few years back. I believe 4 consecutive years their coach was bought out and hired away to a bigger program.

Hugh Freeze went to Ole Miss. Gus Malzahn went to Auburn. Brian Harsin went to Boise. I believe there was 1 more.

nvm wiki says it was just those 3 in a row

I feel for the kids. They go to those schools to play for a specific coach and then boom, the coach is gone and that kid is like, "I'm going to the NFL, fuck that." But then the system changes and they don't get a chance to shine any longer.
