2nd Best QB in KC

Steve DeBerg is and always will be my favorite KC QB. The man was smart but more inportantly he was tough. This guy used to get mugged and still play. I can remember him playing with a cast on his left pinky and ring finger……..far cry from our recent “crystal” QB’s. Good for DeBerg

Springsteen

If you haven’t heard it, then you need to listen to his album “Nebraska”. It was his best work of his entire career, released before he entered his pop rock icon era (e.g. the “Born in the U.S.A.” album). If you don’t like that album, then yes…his music’s probably not for you.

Herm Edwards will not be the Chiefs' head coach next season.

Neither will Mike Shanahan.

UC

Nebraska is great, but I go with his first as his best;“Greetings from Ashbury Park” is amazing.

We can both be right. :)

As For "Nebraska"

“Atlantic City” and “Johnny 99” are two of my favorite songs ever.

Gotta agree with you on that

I'll throw in "Open All Night" in there as well.

Bad-lambs!

This video was loosely inspired by a paper the PARADE wrote in the 4th Grade.

"Badlands" Is Great Too

I also like “Murder Incorporated” and “Brilliant Disguise”.

DeBerg

That was a good read…frankly, I’d love to have DeBerg back as a QB coach. He wasn’t the most gifted QB physically but nobody was ever better at the play-action fake and he was as fundamentally perfect in his technique as any QB you’ll see. He just had the misfortune of constantly being in the wrong place at the wrong time and got replaced by a freakish number of great QBs.

Thigpen Could Use His Services

It was the size of his hands

that made those play action fakes come off so well.

We need a future defensive leader, his name is James Laurinaitis and he can be selected in round 1 of the upcoming Draft.

Ok already, if you don't agree with what I am saying, just don't email my mom again. She beat the crap out of me with my keyboard!

And Okoye's

But even so, DeBerg could just sell it like nobody’s business. Camera crews (who couldn’t see the hands) got fooled all the time by his fakes. If DeBerg had a strong arm he could have racked up a ton of bombs the way he got defenses to bite.

On a few occasions, when he wasn't tearing a ligament

Croyle did a really good job of selling the play-action too – maybe he has big hands to hold Kelli’s ta-tas…

by PVChiefsfan on Jan 30, 2009 3:18 PM CST up reply actions

Unfortunately For Croyle

He wasn’t as good of a passer as DeBerg.

I've always thought...

that the Boss sounds like Bob Dylan with a mouth full of marbles.

by HIV 2 Elway on Jan 30, 2009 8:22 AM CST reply actions

I've Always Thought...

that Dylan sounded like Springsteen trying to sing through his nose. :)

Although Dylan and Springsteen are similar. Springsteen’s more folk than rock. He’s a far better singer than Dylan, but Dylan’s a far better song writer.

The Boss

woould be nothing without Clarence Clemons and his phsyicedellic saxophone

Or "Little Stevie" Van Zandt

Any musician’s greatness is heavily dependent on who he works with.

You know, Van Zandt was the one who actually did most of the selections for the music on “The Sopranos”. If you’ve never gone through the track listings for the show, it’s really a diverse and eclectic mix. A lot of that stuff you can’t just pull off of iTunes because it’s either obscure or out of print. I know, I’ve tried…I’ve been putting together a complete “Sopranos” playlist and I’m only a little over halfway done with it (because it’s getting kind of expensive).

Max Weinberg too

rocks pretty hard on the drums

Saw the Boss play

“Kansas City” in Kansas City a few years back. Pretty awesome. He prolly wont play it Sunday, though…

Suggs in not a DE - he's a OLB

Why would Mock Drafts say he would be the answer at DE. Would Suggs want to play DE? I bet he’ll want to stay in BAL. I say we switch to a 3-4 – I believe in it and we should work towards getting the players to fit in that scheme. Dorsey WILL work but I’m not going to get into that. In that case I say you sign Peppers in FA, take Aaron Curry in 1st Rd, a center in 2nd rd. If we trade down and get some extra picks then hell we are in potentially great shape to further get our 3-4 defense in place.

He can't play 4-3 DE

he’d get eaten alive on running plays by the LT opposite him who outweighs him by like 80 pounds =)

by PVChiefsfan on Jan 30, 2009 3:19 PM CST up reply actions

If we trade down to and pick up 2nd and 3rd rd picks

Then I say trade the #1 pick for Matt Cassel. That’s one hell of a pick in my book.

Trade down if we can

Weve still got a lot of hole to fill. More picks=the better

I wonder why Jason didnt ask DeBerg if he would be interested

in coming back to KC as a QB Coach? I assume he didn’t because he didn’t print anything about it. I’ve always said, you need a former seasoned QB to make a good QB coach.

We need a future defensive leader, his name is James Laurinaitis and he can be selected in round 1 of the upcoming Draft.
