The Kansas City Chiefs started off their OTAs last week with Brady Quinn running behind Matt Cassel as the No. 2 quarterback, which left Ricky Stanzi as the No. 3. Fast forward a week and Quinn and Stanzi's roles are reversed with Stanzi running with the twos on Tuesday, throwing "several nice passes", according to the KC Star. "Brady and I have switched on and off," Stanzi said in comments distributed by the Chiefs. "I've run w...

Earlier today, Joel mentioned that Kansas City Chiefs GM Scott Pioli had an interesting back and forth with Kevin Kietzman of 810 WHB Sports radio yesterday. Joel brought up Kietzman's love for Andrew Luck in his earlier post and Pioli had a pretty good response (As did Kietzman). And of course there was more about quarterbacks in that interview, notably the Chiefs' current starting QB Matt Cassel. Here's what Pioli said on Cassel...  

Danny Parkins and Carrington Harrison of 610 Sports landed an interview with Kansas City Chiefs QB Matt Cassel on Monday. We know Cassel is a fairly private person and, even as Chiefs fans, we don't know a whole lot about him after three-plus years. He said that it doesn't really bother him that others don't know a lot about him but he did go down a few personal things about himself, including: his mom, a set designer, has won an...  

Sure there have been names like Len Dawson, Joe Montana and even Trent Green that would fit the bill, but each of those quarterbacks either found success after making stops with other teams or were well past their prime when finally making their way to Kansas City.

From the FanPosts. A different approach, I like it. -Joel I think the Kansas City Chiefs QB situation has been interesting, to say the least, the last few years, and I think there may be some reasoning for what we are missing. I think if you asked Chiefs GM Scott Pioli a few questions and he could only answer with one word then this is what he would say... 1) Did you think you were getting a franchise QB with Matt Cassel when you traded...  

There’s been way too much noise recently about the Kansas City Chiefs doing something it could very clearly regret in the 2012 NFL Draft: radically reaching for Texas A&M QB Ryan Tannehill at #11 overall.  (Or even worse, trading up for him.) As we’ve seen from the Cassel years, a bad step for a franchise at the QB position can set the team back several years.  The Chiefs, since 2009, have done nothing but escalate from the league’s cellar to...  

We'll call this the offseason of the quarterback. Romeo Crennel and GM Scott Pioli kicked things off earlier this offseason talking about the Kansas City Chiefs having more competition at quarterback next season. Then it was the Peyton Manning talk.

The popular belief is that the Chiefs will focus on their defense in the upcoming NFL draft after spending nearly all of free agency upgrading their offense. However, we hear there is growing speculation around team headquarters that the team could go the other direction and add a quarterback in the first or second round.  

I had a short exchange with Tamarick Vanover on Facebook recently and it reminded me of how much I miss the strong return game that has almost always been a part of the Kansas City Chiefs game plan. I can think of few years when we didn't have someone waiting for the ball that could change the entire course of the game in just 15 seconds. Players such as Vanover or Dante Hall caused stadiums to hold their collective breaths every time they...

Despite speculation that the Kansas City Chiefs would pick a receiver to put pressure on franchised player Dwayne Bowe, they went with a defensive player. With the 11th overall pick, they took Dontari Poe, a defensive lineman from Memphis. Here's what our scouting reports had to say about Poe: On the surface, Poe would seem to be the ultimate personification of Bill Parcells' "Planet Theory" -- that there are just a few men on the planet big...  

WR Dwayne Bowe is the Chiefs' most important player. He might not be the highest paid or even the best player in Kansas City, nor does he play a position that’s the most vital to the team’s success. But because he has a skill set that nobody else on the roster has, and plays in a scheme that utilizes his talents perfectly, his presence on the depth chart is more important than anybody else in a Chiefs uniform. With that in mind, one would...
