For those saying someone like Kolb can't fit in anywhere else and be successful....

That's Matt Cassel. I remember when he was available from the Patriots some time bet and everyone said the SAME things about him as they are Kolb.

"He's a system QB, so it's easier for him." Etc.

Looked at his numbers this year? (On a good team that's in the playoffs mind you)

Rating: 93

Yards: 3,116

TD's: 27

INT's: 7

Looks like he's done pretty good for himself down in KC. It's always a gamble and it's something you have to do. KC was terrible, traded for Cassel, did some changes, and a couple years later are in the playoffs. What if we did that? Things may be a lot different right now.

Just something to think about....

He sucked ass his first year with the Chiefs.

16 td, 16 int, 69.9 rating, 14 fumbles, 3 lost. It wasn't until they completely revamped the system to be somewhat similar to the Patriots, that he was able to succeed again.

If we were to use the system the Eagles use, then I'm down for getting Kolb. I'd also be down to see what Clausen/Moore could do in that system also though.

I'm mainly showing the connection where everyone didn't want him either. His first season wasn't the best, true, but way better than any of our QB's had this year. You could say Weis came in and helped him but I think it's more than that. I'm just saying, sometimes you take a chance.

If we could trade our 1st down and get more picks, THEN trade that first, I'd be OK with it. Kolb has looked good when he has played, mostly.

And I wouldn't be against changing an offense to fit the QB, it makes sense. Maybe he'd do better in a different system though.

We shouldn't blow it off completely. Maybe we can wait and see what the league does, as in, offering picks (when/if CBA gets renewed). If it gets away from the first round I say we ****** him.

Are you calling this year mediocre for Cassel?

Mediocre would have been a compliment for his playoff performance.

Might be more accurate to call his overall career in KC mediocre. In 2009, he had as many picks as he did TDs (16 of both) and almost as many fumbles (14). This past season, he showed improvement in some categories, but the Chiefs feasted off a weak schedule in the regular season and were clearly overmatched in the playoffs.

The obvious difference between 2009 and 2010? Charlie Weis. What happens next year when Weis is gone again?

    • Such a dumb pick and most of us knew it Ladd would’ve been the perfect match with Bryce But instead they draft XL to fill the void at the X spot because we had a 34 year old Adam Thielen. Then a year later we draft a real X WR and move XL inside where he has absolutely no business being for a list of reasons
    • My logic was hopefully a new HC would have a LOT quicker hook for Bryce. But, that is assuming they would even be allowed. I guess that's a call to the owner's box for permission.
    • I’m not overly defending the pick. I was team Stroud by a country mile but I also knew what to expect as far as ceiling goes with Bryce  I had concerns with Bryce’s arm strength and size. Neither seem to overly be an issue. He’s proven to throw with enough anticipation that he makes up for a lack of velocity. I was worried about the way he played in college not translating to the league. Spending 8 seconds behind LOS. I did also think it would take Young a few years for him to reach his full potential. I also think he’s too smart and accurate to flat out bust which all of seems to be pretty accurate Bryce is someone you can absolutely win with. No one thought he’d be the type to carry a well below average supporting cast to a Super Bowl. He’s fully capable of giving you those 4-5 special plays a game that help your team win. And then you have those rare times where he’s the reason you win like in Atlanta.  All good teams have more than just a QB.  Even the teams that are winning this year all have a lot more than what we have. Supporting cast/defense… more than what we have  As far as Morgan goes I 100% agree. Fwiw he was legit team Bryce during the draft process. I know that for a fact. Last years draft is a complete write off. This past draft still up for debate. TMac and Scourton look solid. I can’t remember the last time I saw Princely win a rep and I’m being honest. Ransom has a little value. I think ETN is a nice insurance add. Evans could be a TE2.    I think this offseason Morgan will get aggressive with trying to land a pass rusher. Whether that’s a trade for Crosby, signing Hendrickson, it’s going to be top priority. We need a ILB. I really like Kaden Ellis. Sonny Styles should be in our draft range. We also need a tight end and it would be interesting to see this offseason with Kenyon Sadiq
