Top 5 QB in the NFL...

We were inspired by Joe Montana's TWEETS to provide our own list of the top five QB’s playing today. Joe listed six as his top five and we thought, “hey here is a chance to do something better that JOE MONTANA!!

So here it is

1.       (Tie) Aaron Rodgers, Drew Breeze-With one Super Bowl Win under the belt he has a command of his offense and a mastery of the game no one else can rival.

2.       (tie) Payton Manning, Tom Brady-fallen a step off from his heyday but veteran presence and caginess counts a lot here. There is not much he hasn’t seen.

3.        (tie) Joe Flacco, Eli Manning-Whatever problems he has had during the regular season it all goes away in the play-offs where all he does is seem to win. Flash me that Super Bowl MVP

4.        (tie) Matt Ryan, Tony Romo- no denying his talent, great regular season numbers but somehow cannot deliver in the post season. Still Talent makes him higher than others.

5.       (tie) Jay Cultler, Philip Rivers-Immensely talented and he is still more polished passer than RG3, Cam, Luck and Wilson (right now) but that could change by the end of the season. If he doesn’t make the next step this year he will be lucky to be in the top ten next year let alone the top 5.

6.       Honorable mention-Ben Roethlisberger perhaps second only to Brady in accomplishments but he is not an elite passer. We have yet to see that he can carry a team without a great running game and elite defense. A deep playoff push this year could vault him back into the top 5.

UPDATE: The big Scary Editor was confused over the inclusion of Big Ben in this mannor. The joke is we do not think he belongs in the same grouping as the rest. Now if this was the top five O linemen then he would be right up there with Jamarcus Russel

Arrowhead half-full: Offseason moves

(Arrowhead Half-Full: The optimist guide to Chiefs Football)

This has been one of the best off-seasons in recent years. You would be hard pressed to convince me that there is not one area the Chiefs have not gotten better at.

Coach: Even though Andy Reid has never won “the big one” he is the best coach since Vermil and I would put him a step above Marty.

GM: Almost any move here would have been an upgrade.

QB: Smith is leaps and bounds better than ANYTHING we have had here in years. Daniels is talented and should prove to be a capable backup. He wasn't drafted but mainy that was because of his size. There are more shorter guys in the league now proving it is ok not to be 6' 4''. He is the most mobile QB on the roster. Bray comes in with an absolute Cannon for an arm, he is a project but he has first round talent.

O line: Best tackle in the draft, Albert is coming back and many of the wounded should be back while their replacements all got game experience. Our depth has never been better.

WR: Bowe is back, this id the year Baldwin will break out. He is finally in a system that can utilize his skill set. There is a lot of potential after the starters, and there could be a few break out stars.

RB: Charles is amazing and we have a Intriguing prospect in Davis. Reid is serious about this group as can be seen in the amount of resources he has devoted to finding a capable FB, not just a lead blocker but a Tom Rathman type who can do everything.

TE: Moeaki is back and we have interesting prospects from the draft and FA. Doubtful any of them will reach Tony's platitudes but who will. We don't need hall of fame here just clutch.

Defense: gone is the bend don't break style we have had since Gunther was head coach. We are moving to an aggressive style in the vein of the NY, Baltimore attacking defense. Maybe we will see some production out of our high D-line picks

D Line- Upgrades across the line. DeVito brings experience and talent in the new defense. Poe and Powe are each a year better and are as big and strong as any tackle in the league.

LB-Only Inside LB needed help. There has not been a person at this spot beside Johnson who was not just a worm body sense the switch to a 34. Drafting Nico Johnson fills this void and ther is good depth behind him. Nico doesn't have to be a three down guy. This position is off the field in nickle and dime anyway.

B: Was a weakness last year and now it may be the strongest part of the team. The addition of Smith, Robinson and Demps is beyond good any one of those guys would have been a major haul as it stand two of them won't be starting!

K: the only place where ther were no changes and frankly we are fine here. I long for the days when the team was so stellar that we could focus on bad kicks as why we may have lost one or two games in a year.

There you have it. Optamism abounds over a roster overhaul like this! Go Chiefs.

With the first pick in the 2013 NFL DRAFT...

The Kansas City Chiefs pick Leon Sandcastle!!

Hell Yeah they should!!

Why the Chiefs Sucking hurts so much…

                                                                                           (nope can't blame him anymore)

I was thinking, this is not the first time the chiefs have sucked. In fact, there have been years past where the efforts by some teams were even more futile. There were teams that had fewer talented players and less hope of having a good season. So why is this so upsetting to us, so called, die-hard chiefs fans? I thought for a moment that maybe it was because our expectations were so high at the beginning of the season and the are so bad. No, I don’t think so. We are Kansas City sports team fans; disappointment comes with the territory.

We have a theory…nay…the answer. Parody. Parody is killing the league and  hurting fans. Why? More like how? How can a set-up of teams built to ensure competitiveness be a bad thing? How can it hurt fans; making sure your team can go worst to first in any given year. It is simple, there are no good teams. Every team is just ok, and each weak you could make an argument that any team could beat the other no matter what the record. So, when your team can’t beat teams built for your team to beat; well it sucks.

It never seemed to be that hard to watch the great Steelers teams come in and get a win or the Giants in the 80’s or the 49ers.  Even the Cowboys of the 60’s, 70’s, and 90’s. When teams like that came in it was known to even the most average fan that a win will be unlikely at best. I remember when those great Bills teams in the early 90’s would come to Arrowhead. Chiefs fans knew that if there was a win it would be a real battle. There were just games on the schedule that seemed unlikely wins at best; honest fans chalked them up as losses. But we all still went to the games to cheer. Partly because we hoped they would win, but also to see our team go head to head with the best to see how we measured up.

We no longer have that. There is no one dominant team that losses are upsets to them and each week they are favored to win. The Patriots are closest, only their defense is awful and when they loose no one is really surprised. This is also why this league is impossible to predict. Oh, you can listen to the experts each week but when it comes down too it, they know as little as we do. The expert picks are around .500 at best.

Now in the days of parody your team, our team, has no excuse to lose. Every loss was an expected win. Every blow out loss was an unacceptable performance. Every team sucks so the Chiefs should win. And they continue to fail. Parody destroys greatness and exceptionalism. It has too, you can’t make everything great. You can only make everything average.

Unfortunately in a league of average our Chiefs can’t compete…

Come back for Parody killed great QB’s
