[quote=SFREDSKIN;983789]Cleveland like KC has a lot of young talent in place, a few more pieces and they are ready to contend. Reid and Kelly aren't dumb.[/quote]



The problem is having a franchise QB. Until you get one of those, you can forget it essentially. Reid is taking a gamble because there is no franchise QB in place, and not looking to be one on the horizon with this years crop of QBs coming out.

Exactly, and who's the next big time qb?? Nobody for a while.. Manziel? No chance he wins big in the NFL.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Brown make a play for Alex Smith

and the Chiefs for Matt Flynn

I figured KC would get Smith actually but we'll see

I bet he goes after Matt Barkley with his first pick.

Barkley isn't even the top rated QB anymore. I'd laugh my ass off....lol It would seem that Geno Smith would favor more his style. It's exactly the type of QB he's had his whole tenure in Philly.

Barkley is the typical USC QB, when he hits the pros he will suck just like the rest have. And geno smith isn't even remotely a great passer. The best QB out of This next class will be some guy nobody thought about.

For every Andrew luck or RG3, you get Jake locker, Ponder, Sanchez etc. A lot of talk lately about just starting rookies, it's still the NFL and it takes great player's to win right away. I'm still not sold on Russel Wilson, they played a cupcake schedule and he never had to use his arm to win a game and the one he did they actually really lost the game. We'll see what he's about when we take that run game away from them Sunday

Re: Black Monday: NFL Coaches and Executives Carousel
 

Andy Reids going after Geno. Similar to McNabb whom Reid had great success with.

#1 overall?

That would be a joke.

Sorry to hear for Rivera. Him being fired would probably been a blessing in disguise for him. With that cap issue, not seeing that team getting better in the next year or so. Probably worse.



Next point, what's up with all this crappy reporting at the beginning. Had the Panthers firing Rivera, Cardinals hiring Reid. Seems a few journalists jumped the gun on a few of these stories.

Yeah I agree, and most also had Whisenhunt going to Buffalo... That hasn't happened yet either.

I think just one person, can't remember who, had Reid to Arizona. Personally, I thought he was going to San Diego if anywhere

I was dead wrong on Rivera. At the midway point of the season I thought he was gone and that a new GM would hire the next coach. When the season ended, I though he should stay..but I also thought he was going to be fired. Good for him.
