My firefighter cousin with Jamaal Charles and Anthony Toribio. They rode with the Shawnee FD today. So jealous
Our 49ers blog, Niners Nation, is keeping an eye on the Chiefs this season. Not only is it Alex Smith, but what draft pick the 49ers will get due to the trade. If the Chiefs finish 8-8 or above, the 49ers receive a second round pick. Under that and it's a third round pick.
Cassel's career quarterback rating = 80.4... Smith's career quarterback rating = 79.1... Very similar. The above chart displays the career trend of those quarterback ratings. Not so similar. (The dotted line represents a season Alex didn't play because of injury.)
Interesting look at how the Dolphins might use Dion Jordan in their various defensive schemes http://www.thephinsider.com/2013/5/3/4295748/the-many-looks-of-the-2013-miami-dolphins
This artist has done a remarkable job creating an exact image of the one known in Chiefs Nation as "Horseface." It's as if this is really a photograph.
This popped up at our house in Waldo. I'll take this as a sign things are turning around for the Chiefs. :D
Never have i been so wrong, and Grid_Iron been so right.....wow what a crazy draft that was. Never did i think that Geno Smith would free fall to the 2nd, and Barkley and Wilson fall to the 3rd/4th. Before the free agent frenzy and all the Brandon Albert trade hoopla, I was sure that multiple teams would be taking a QB in the first. The writing seemed to be on the wall for multiple teams to be ready to gamble on their QBOTF. Obviously Grid_Iron is on the same level of NFL Scouts because he saw something that I didn't in this QB class. Yes it's a pass first league, teams saw greater value in protecting their passers with OL's and preventing passers with DB's accounting for a staggering 37% (93 of 254) of all players drafted while only 11 QB's were taken. It will be seen whether there were some great late round value QB's or if this class really was that bad, but in any event Grid_Iron was spot on predicting less than 2 QB's being taken in the first round. Props to you sir, I humbly submit this fanshot, as i am truly not worthy.
