Why cant we copy the Chiefs

[Rockport]

Chiefs had a bus driver QB in Alex SMith. Traded up in draft and drafted Mahomes. We can ship Dak off to some QB needy team and draft the next who we think Mahomes will be. We have our version of Tyreek Hill in our Lamb.

Mcarthy can go head to head against Reid in a lunch buffet.

That's probably the only situation BigMac has a fighting chance. I think he can do it. Just as long as the owner comes out every hour to make sure supply meets demand.

 

[john van brocklin]

Yes, great plan! Just pick up a Mahomes.

They are growing on trees!!!!

2022 QB class is garbage.

Even if it was elite, only 20% of QBs picked in the top 10 pan out, and even among those that do, they don't become Patrick Mahomes.

and we've already got a top 5 QB... I do not get the no-Dak crew at all.

so who is the next mahomes? he was the 3rd QB taken that year. 4 out of 5 QBs in the first round fail. so you have a 20% chance of hitting on a mahomes. easy to say. not easy to do.

Yah because a Mahomes comes around every year.

Reid blows away MM.

Chiefs we're NOTHING until Andy Reid. Dalton would have won the Superbowl had he been the starter. Reid is THAT good!

I am not so sure about dalton, but I get your point. HC makes a big difference

 

[RS12]

Other than not measuring up at GM, HC, and QB, should be a breeze.

Finding next Mahomes might happen or might not happen. But if we dont try, it will 100% not happen. Not sure why Cowboys fans like 6-10 to 10-6 status quo forever. Unless we try, we will never play in any championship games. Trading Draft might be the next Hershell Walker trade.

all you have to do is see Denver. they have been trying to find the next mahomes, drafting QB after QB. See Chicago, they drafted, signed FA, traded, it didn't work. see eagles, they drafted wentz and then hurts, jets tried, etc.


so yes, technically if you don't you won't find one, but there is a 80% chance or more of going on a QB carousel for a decade.....remember we went through it until we lucked into Romo.

now, in order to get to the championship game, we need to build a legit defense. in 44 picks, 15 years we have only picked one impact defensive player, named Lawrence....tell me why we can't pick defensive players, fix that and we will be in the championship game

 

[dmaschuck]

I mean we can if we can clone the next chosen top guy in the "sport"

 

[KB1122]

We are. We're copying the 1971-2015 Kansas City Chiefs, who never drafted a quarterback in the first round, and thought they could just sign a 49ers castoff or dig up a star in the fourth round. They used to have the second-longest length of time since taking a quarterback in the first round. Now we do.

WHY? JERRY JONES.

 

[dsturgeon]

Kelsey might end up being the greatest TE of all time

LLLOOOLLL

 

[mardwin]

So you're asking why can't we just go and find Tyreke Hill and Pat Mahomes? Lawdaamerrcyyyyyyyyyyyy.....

This team has talent but no long term vision. He is asking for the front office to draft the right players, Mahomes wasn't the best QB in the draft at the time but was the right player, same for Hill. This organization has been reluctant to do the right thing and build the right way. KC understood Smith wasn't the guy, he was good but wasn't elevating anyone's game. Guess who doesn't elevate anyone's game on this football team? Dallas can pay Dak $40M to just play QB but doubt the team would be better than what they been the last 5 years.

Good thing the 2021 draft is still around the corner.

Mahomes is a once in a generation type of talent.

That's why it's not easy to just copy the Chiefs.

because Mahomes was lucky pick that why he went what 10-11 , they did NOT 100% know he could replace smith and be this goods this fast..

so how long would it take to actually hit on a QB and get the next Mahomes in the draft?

easy answer wasn't it..no way you can just say ok ill draft "x" guy and he will take us to a CG first year and win sb second year..lots of luck goes into that..

luck like hitting on UDFA Romo UDFA and Dak as 4th rounder , sure they didnt take us to the promise land but they also are hard to find/

It’s called investing in a good head coach. You saw what Mahomes did in college with Kingsbury? You saw what he did in the pros? Coaching matters.

I'ts tough for me to fully defend Dak because his play is at times frustrating....but...

He is by FAR our best option over the next few years, even at 40m per.

I dont at all see how a Bridgewater or Darnold type at 25m is a tremendous savings.

You can sign a decent linebacker w the savings. Thats all.

Back to point....trying to find a capable rookie who can play at a high level immediately is not easy at all...and once he does, you'll hear the agent moaning about wanting to get paid.

So even if you DO get lucky and nail the QB in the draft, how long does the team truly reap the benefits of the cheap QB contract? Two, maybe three years....and the rest of your team had better be built also at the time or its blown anyway.

The most frustrating part is when I hear people say that since Dak hasn't won YET, that means he can't win in the future.

He may very well not, but I agree, replacing him is WAY more of a needle in a haystack thing than some think.
