Chase Daniel to KC

I think it’s funny that he got a ringing endorsement from Larry Fitzgerald before his 1st start, and then he played horribly.

And as a KU homer, no Reesing is not better. Neither QB is NFL starter material.

an MU fan made this post.

Not all that high an Chase int he first place and as everyone else pointed out, you don’t know if you have any more potential in him than Stanzi. But Stanzi has a year under his belt learning the Chiefs offense, is more familiar with the staff and players and the result could conceivably end the same with either player so why take the risk? Plus the Chiefs are paying Stanzi more right now than the Saints are paying Daniel, but if you brought Daniel over you’d have to give him a slight salary bump (what you’re already paying Stanzi?) so I don’t see how it would change anything or free up any salary cap space.

I’m just saying that rather than overpaying for Orton, Manning, or Flynn we could take a shot at another young player. It would free up cap space in the sense that we wouldn’t have to pay Orton.

And I am an MU Homer, but I’ve always thought he was a much more accurate quarterback than Blaine Gabbert, and Gabbert was taken in the first round. Not saying that that says much, I’m just saying.

I’m not saying I’m against Orton, though I don’t think he’s the long term solution. If there was a way to keep Orton and get Chase Daniel as a backup thats what I would definitely vote for. That way if Orton plays like a stud we won’t have lost much and we’ll have a quality NFL backup until Stanzi is ready for that role.

I like Daniel more then Flynn but in all honesty I doubt either will make long term successful starting QBs.

Another thought is I recently heard Kurt Warner talking about how Flacco takes to much heat in Baltimore for their offensive struggles. He noted that Baltimore’s receivers are very inconsistant route runners and drop alot of passes. When I heard that I thought about it and felt he was right. It’s extremely important for receivers to be where they need to be on each play and even a guy as talented as Boldin is, he is not a great route runner and is inconsistant catching the ball. When you think about it alittle harder it sounds alot like the Chiefs receivers they are a extremely talented group but are inconsistant. The so called “system QB” which is an over used word, will always struggle when his receivers aren’t where they need to be since everything is based off timing. It’s what makes teams like Green Bay, New Orleans, and New England so successful, and if a receiver comes into that system and can’t pick it up (Ochocinco) they don’t play.

This isn’t a post to defend Cassel, it’s just something else to think about when it comes to deciding who the best QB for the Chiefs is, I feel even the great Peyton Manning would struggle to be on the same page with the Chiefs receivers. I’m not doubting that the Chiefs receivers will improve and that they have the ability to be great, just don’t believe they are there yet.

Maybe it’s pointless to continue to talk about the idea of the Chiefs drafting RG3 but he may just be the type of guy who can make things happen on his own. He has the athletic ability to move around and make plays and wouldn’t require the Chiefs to have to have a great offensive line.

It’s possible the Saints are eveloping a great QB, but maybe not. You can’t guess on these things.

Pioli is going to keep Cassell. I suggest pick up Chase draft Brock Oswieller and Have them all (including Stanzi) earn the starting job. Then cut the worst one (Cassell) and you have your 3 quarterbacks set for a Super Bowl run.
P.S. Resign Bowe and Carr

I just hope to live long enough to see this team stop living in fear of the blackledge and draft another first round QB
