How the KC Chiefs and Texas Tech Red Raiders Compare.......Crabtree?

As I am sitting in my office here in Lubbock Texas. I can't put my mind around why anyone would not want to draft Crabtree at the #3 spot. I mean really, our team is completly set up to where Crabtree in my opinion is the perfect fit for our team. Think about it...... Yes we have a tremendous amount of holes in our defenses...... However, does what Haley did  I look ar it  for the Arizona Cards. not ring a bell to anyone????? Really.... Look at what the guy did with two top notch receivers in Arz. what makes anyone of us think that we could not put up even better numbers than they did over there.... Think what he can do over here with Tony/ Bowe / and Crabtree. Sure you might say.... well our off. line sucks....questions about Thigpen..... but Thiggie thrives in the spread, and quality offensive linemen are not as important in the spread offense.

As far as I see it, the KC Chiefs are kind of in the same situation that Texas Tech is in the big 12. They come from a small market in comparison to others..... EX Lubbock vrs Austin vrs. OU. EX: KC vrs. NY vrs. Denver/etc. Yet TECH (thanks to Mike Leach's spread offense can still hang with the big boys, even though we can't recruit the same "type" player that a UT or OU can. In comparison, KC can't find quaility FA's that want to come play for the chiefs.

Here's a thought..... Why not follow the "Mike Leach" movement and play with a system that allows you to thrive on what you have?????

Also, who really cares if Crabtree has a stress fracture in his foot. Honestly, everyone here in Lubbock knew he had something wrong with his foot and was playing injured. But..... look at what he did when he was playing through his injury. In my opinion that really says something about him. At least we know he is not another Brodie Croyle.....

Lets go with Crabtree / Thiggie / and the spread and try to use what works for us now.......

You makea valid point... BUT (of course)

The spread formation wasnt the scheme we went into the ‘08 season with in mind… We had to RESORT to the spread. Because our O-Line was giving our QB’s enough time to look for the open guy. So we needed to set Tyler Thigpen 10 yards to give him some time… And sure it seemed like it was gonna pull off some wins… But fact of the matter is: it DIDN’T. We didnt have much of a running game, because Herm abandoned it time and time again… I happen to be one of the guys who oppose the idea of permanently going to the spread. I think that it would eventually become exploited and we’d have invested too much into it.
    As for drafting Crabtree… I wouldnt be opposed, BUT I do think we need to go Defense with our #3 pick… Our priority needs are as follows: LB, OL, DT, QB, WR. And all these CAN be addressed this off-season.
    Crabtree is a great talent, but it’s unfair to compare him to Larry Fitzgerald… When Kobe Bryant broke into the league, people immediately bastardized his game by comparing him to Jordan. Kobe was 19.
    I look at Calvin Johnson at it was obvious what kind of player he was and would be… I’m not 150% convinced that Crab will dominate the way people think he will.

I know that you're afraid... you're afraid of us. You're afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin.

the spread worked BETTER… that’s why we used it… why not use what works best!

I like your enthusiasm

But Thigpen isn’t Warner, Bowe isn’t Boldin, and Crabtree isn’t Fitzgerald. And if a team offers a decent deal for Tony he’s probably gone.

The problem with this offense is

You have to be able to run the ball a some point in a tough game. We are not and neither were they able to do this
