Arrowheadlines: Chiefs News 1/23

Good morning, and congratulations to Brian Waters for making the Super Bowl. The moral of the story is a guy off the street can make it in this crazy world of the NFL. Here is today's Kansas City Chiefs news.

Story You Missed

"The Brandon's" both had a good season staying away from defensive pass interference calls. Between the two corners, opponents only accepted three defensive pass interference penalties in 2011.

Offseason Roster Review: Cornerbacks from The Mothership

Star-divide

Earlier this month, the Chiefs participated in a "Thank you, fans" commercial spot for the NFL that aired before each Conference Championship Game on Sunday. The commercial is also set to air as the last spot before kickoff on Super Bowl Sunday.

While the backup market is going to be workable, it is not going to be easy to get a better starter. Another important point is that, while the Chiefs are making strides in certain areas of the team, we still have a lot of holes to fill on the roster and if we go all in toward one of the bigger name players out there, we automatically hurt our ability to improve the rest of the team - possibly for years.

So here are some of the notable options and what they would likely cost us after the jump.

Upgrading At QB: What It Will Cost The Chiefs from Arrowhead Addict

The New York Giants will head to Indianapolis in two weeks to face a New England Patriots side seeking vengeance for defeat four years ago, which saw their previously perfect season end without the biggest prize.

And as on that occasion, the Giants owe their presence in the game's showpiece to an overtime kick from Lawrence Tynes, the Scottish-born kicker now in his fifth season with the "Big Blue".

Good Times For Giants' Tynes from Sky Sports

But no one in coaching annals has suffered the ignominy of Marty Schottenheimer, the star-crossed, sixth-winningest coach in NFL history.

With the Cleveland Browns - after no losing seasons and a 32-15 record his final three years - he was fired.

Then with the Kansas City Chiefs - where he had nine winning seasons out of 10 - he was fired.

Then with the Washington Redskins, he was fired after one season, in which he won eight of his last 11 games.

Then with the San Diego Chargers, he was fired after his fourth year, a 14-2 season.

(Look at those last two jobs again, with the Redskins and the Chargers: Schottenheimer was fired winning a combined 22 of his last 27 games.)

The only reason I'm glad the 49ers didn't go is

if they would have gotten to the SB with their average QB and won, Pioli would be more inclined to stay with Cassel in hopes that he could ride our D to the big show

But the real reason to believe in Cassel is because there may not be a better option this season, unfortunately.

It's been 5 years since a quarterback who wasn't AT MINIMUM a fringe Hall-of-Famer played in the Super Bowl.

And it’s been even longer since one won the damn thing. The new NFL rules have made passing far too important to ignore that position anymore. The 2000 Balitmore Ravens would probably not have won it all if they had been playing in, say, 2010. I know the 2003 Bucs wouldn’t have.

If you don’t have an elite franchise QB, you need to constantly be trying to find one. Period. Matt Cassel is an acceptable stopgap until then but he isn’t the answer and shouldn’t be treated as one under any circumstances.

We need to take a QB high (like in the first two rounds high) this year or, failing at that, bring in somebody to compete with Matt Cassel in free agency. Super-duper extra Brownie points to Scott Pioli if he brings in somebody like Peyton Manning to take Cassel’s job instead.

If the Colts are open to it he absolutely should.

I just haven’t heard anything to indicate that they would be willing to do it. That’s also one where the price might actually be too high. You can’t give up 4 whole drafts or anything, no matter who the player is.

Matt Cassel is an acceptable stopgap until then but he isn’t the answer and shouldn’t be treated as one under any circumstances.

I agree completely – however, many people on AP who, shall we say, are less than enamored with Mr. Cassel, often argue that he is treated as an “answer”. I haven’t seen any evidence of that from the front office or coaching staff – every response they give seems to be along the lines of, “Matt gives us the best chance to win games right now.”

There were many other factors in the Waters thing

Look...

I was as upset as anybody about losing Brian Waters. He was the glue that kept our line together, and an absolutely great human being.

That said, he is nearing the end of his career, and he’s had so much success in KC, it was time for him to go somewhere he could get a chance at his well overdue, and hard earned Super Bowl shot. He EARNED that right.

We should all be proud of him. The majority of his career will always be as a Chief.

I wish him nothing but the best, and I hope he enjoys his big dance on the biggest stage in professional football. He deserves it, and he’s earned it.

I'm really just not seeing all the "holes" that need to be filled on this team

RT, NT, maybe a 2nd RB, depth at several positions. What real holes need to be immediately addressed that would require the couple of first round picks and a few mid to lower round picks we would give up in a trade into the top 3 to address the most important position on the field? I say none, and there is no reason to avoid trying to make a move like this to aquire a franchise QB

I just don't think Pioli will give up that many draft picks for it.

And I don’t see the teams in position to get one of the QB’s in this draft trading for anything less that two first round picks and several others. They need a QB as much as we do.

OG for one, along with RT and yeah, NT maybe and if we don't get more TALENTED depth at CB, S, RB, TE we're in trouble
if we go all in toward one of the bigger name players out there, we automatically hurt our ability to improve the rest of the team – possibly for years

and that’s only if we get our own FA’s that we want/need to keep re-signed, if not then we ALSO have more huge holes at WR (Bowe) CB (Carr) FB (McClain) …

or, we can become the Raiders and wait til the 3rd Round to find available “talent” for a couple of years

We might as well face it,Cassel is the man,Pioli isnt going to let cassel go that would make Pioli look bad,like Kyle Orton done.Cassel is not the long term answer for the chiefs unless you have a team like the ravens who can back you up and make you look good.

Dude, stop it. For real.

Even if Pioli wanted Cassel gone, how would he do it without being extremely irresponsible with draft picks?

by bossmanham on Jan 23, 2012 9:04 AM CST up reply actions  

This is not the hole-riddled team it was when Pioli took over (and that's largely to his credit).

We now have a solid core of guys (hopefully including Carr and/or Bowe) locked up. The window is beginning to open and now is the time that the Chiefs can afford to make a play for their guys.

If than means trading next year’s #1 and/or a player like Bowe to move up and take RGIII, that is not too much if Pioli believes him to be a franchise caliber quarterback. If he like somebody like Tannehill, he should nab him. If he hates every single QB prospect in this draft that isn’t Andrew Luck, he should still try to re-sign Orton or another FA QB to compete for the job or try to nab Peyton Manning from the Colts.

Like I said above. Any team without a clear franchise QB should constantly be trying to find one. And it’s beginning to drive me crazy that the Chiefs seemingly have little to no interest in even trying to upgrade from. I mean doesn’t Pioli realize that a big part of the success of the “Patriot Way” was having one of the 5 greatest QBs ever on the team?

Settling for another 30 years of mediocrity at the QB position is not a better option than taking a risk on a guy in the first and failing. It’s just not.

Alex Smith took 7 years to get this good & he was a #1 Draft pick…So… Is there hope ?…Always as a Chiefs Fan…It’s what we do…& it pokes a few holes in the First rnd QB being an instant improvement…I believe after gathering up the meager crumbs of info that are leaking out of the Krem…1 Arrowhead…That lack of a true challenger to Cashole is what has hurt this team ( Which equaled no viable back-up option either)… an oversight of Titanic proportions…So says Captain Obvious of the USS Self Evident…

Dont know what games this guy was watching when he fomulated his opinion on Cassel
Kyle Orton = Matt Cassel. Or so I asserted in a column last offseason. This season proved that the two quarterbacks are very comparable, although each has small edges over the other in different areas. Orton is a quick decision maker and is very accurate in short-to-medium throws, while Cassel is a bit stronger and more accurate with the deep ball.

He really thinks Cassel has a deep ball?

Men succeed when they realize that their failures are the preparation for their victories.

accurate outside the deep ball

i think cassel actually has a better mid range throw off play action. you need a 15-20 yarder, cassel imo is more accurate out of playaction than orton…

but the deep ball, even i who was against orton and dissed his deep ball did the research for 2 seconds to find that orton has quite a nice deep ball….no research required to know that cassel lacks one

please just overpay if you must, not flowers cash but 5-40 type of deal is fine

i love carr’s size, i love carr’s chemistry with our db’s, ive never seen a group of db’s seem to not just work well together, but really care about each other.

keep our secondary together or risk another freaking hole
