Go Hawks!

Get A. Smith and draft Tyler Wilson in the second and make sure we get a good OC. There is some talent on the roster but were not used properly and really suffered from atrocious play-calling

look out KC – Andy’s big on un-retiring people – just ask Howard Mudd and Monte K.

(it’s how he keeps that ’99 plan looking innovative)

Let’s not forget that Reid made due with Doug Pederson for a year in Philly before things took off… Chiefs will be competitive this year, be wild card worthy in year two, and do very well in year three.

You’re not going to find the next Len Dawson in this draft and after Sundays game I doubt Cousins is going anywhere. Maybe a trade for Romo could be the answer cuz he’s fizzling out in Dallas!

Is Len Dawson how far back KC has to go to find a great QB? Sheeeesh….

I know Montana played there, but really? They have to go all the way back to Len Dawson? Brutal.

I don’t know how much this will relate to his success.. but Andy had a tough couple of years with the passing of his son.. he’s coming into an organization who was hit hard by a tragedy this year.. who know’s, but there could be some inspired play to come from the chiefs

Cassel did well in NE…get the right QB coach and give him some bodies to throw to…he’ll do alright. Shore up the weak spots on defense and offensive line with the #1.

Flynn is a likely candidate. But not Kirk Cousins. Rumors say RGIII has torn MCL/ACL and could miss all of next season. I don’t think the Redskins will deal Cousins knowing he is needed unless it’s a great offer. But he hasn’t earned any high draft pick returns yet.

I have a feeling Matt Flynn is kinda like Matt Cassel – a team sells high on him based off a couple good games.

11-5 is a bit more than “a couple of good games”.

New Chiefs coach Andy Reid was formally introduced in Kansas City today
———————————————————-
With that, a very disappointed Cardinal’s Committee finally departed Phoenix Airport in a Budget Rentals Ford Taurus, headed back to Glendale at a high rate of speed.

Hopefully you find the good Len Dawson, and not the one who had 7 fumbles in a game, because you already had that one, his name was Mike Vick.

With the cheap nobodies the Eagles are looking at for head coach the Chiefs will win another Super Bowl before the Eagles will.

Just so you KC fans know Andy has a less than .400 record against teams with winning records and is 2-14 vs AFC play off teams.

Then I suppose it’s good that he gets to play the Raiders twice a year now isn’t it.

I’m still waiting to see who the GM & Coaching staff is/are before I get excited for disgusted about this hire.

Reid sounds like he had his choice of where he wanted to go and he chooses the graveyard for NFL coaches. The first of many questionable decisions he will make in his short tenure in KC. Must have been the BBQ that sold him…

Reid’s point about Dawson might even be deeper. Dawson couldn’t get ahead of Bobby Layne at the Steelers and Milt Plum at the Browns and really blossomed with the AFL giving him…and a ton of guys….a real shot. Reid’s the kind of guy to make Cassell or Quinn a comeback story.

I remember Dawson shrugging off the gambling charge the week of SBIV and coming out and smoking the Vikings. To me that win was even more historically signicant than the Jets beating the Colts the year before because it proved it was no fluke to beat the NFL.

Kudos to Clark Hunt for getting his man. With the Kellys dropping out, a lot of teams are going to be reaching and Hunt got a name.

It’s gonna RBI funny seeing him on the sidelines in red. He’s gonna resemble a big Mr. Koolaide

You must have missed our last coach on the sideline?

I wish Andy Reid all the best in KC. He deserves it after putting up with the dysfunctional owner, players, and fans in Philly.

Too late, he’s already working in New England (and I don’t mean coaching the BC Eagles, lol!)

Smashscott. Bowe for flynn? Are you high? Flynn has not done anything to prove worthy of a franchise qb. And what would be the point of having flynn if he has no one to throw to.

Oh, so he wants to find a drunk? That won’t be too hard to find, just take a walk outside Andy.

Keep in mind that Dawson was a retread, having failed to make it in the pre-merger NFL. He was considered a journeyman, then found his niche with the Texans/Chiefs.

I’m not saying that Reid will strike gold (or red and gold) with a guy who’s failed elsewhere, only that the right guy may already be out there somewhere. The certainty in my mind is that it’s not Cassel or Quinn.
