Kansas City Chiefs v Denver Broncos

With only about $8 million to spend in free agency, the New York Jets will take a ‘cost friendly approach’ to create competition for incumbent Mark Sanchez at the Quarterback position.

The New York Daily News’ Manish Mehta reports former Jacksonville Jaguar David Garrard, who worked out the Jets facility last week, and Brady Quinn are on General Manager John Idzik’s radar.

Quinn started eight games for the Kansas City Chiefs last season. The former Notre Dame star threw for 1,141 yards, two touchdowns and eight interceptions for a QB rating of 60.1.

Report: Alex Smith trade in place

Posted by Kyle Smith under Alex Smith, Jacksonville Jaguars, Kansas City Chiefs, San Fransisco 49ers on Feb 24, 2013

NFC Championship - San Francisco 49ers v Atlanta Falcons

Remember when San Francisco 49ers’ QB Alex Smith got injured earlier last season and a young and mobile upstart named Colin Kaepernick stepped in to lead them to the Super Bowl?

You don’t remember that? Really? It was a pretty big story…well anyway, it looks like we’re about to see the end of the 49ers’ quarterback saga.

Reacting to tragedy through distractions and outlets

Posted by Dustin Parkes under Editorial, Jovan Belcher, Kansas City Chiefs on Dec 03, 2012

On Saturday, Jovan Belcher, an inside linebacker for the Kansas City Chiefs, shot and killed his 22-year-old girlfriend, Kasandra Perkins. He then drove to Arrowhead Stadium and committed suicide, shooting himself in the head in front of head coach Romeo Crennel and general manager Scott Pioli. Sadly, there is another element to the tragedy. Belcher and Perkins leave behind a three-month-old daughter named Zoey, who was being looked after by Belcher’s mother in the same house where the first shooting occurred.

The initial reaction to this news was to feel anger and rage that someone would steal life from another, and then take their own, avoiding consequence at the hands of others and abandoning another human whose caretaking was their natural responsibility. Then, a brief moment of consideration revealed that there is never a simple explanation to the motivation behind any of our actions, least of all the most heinous. That isn’t meant to excuse what Belcher did, only to state that such heart-rending happenings leave little room for our own poorly-informed judgment.

Chiefs remain world’s unfunniest joke

Posted by Devang Desai under Brady Quinn, Kansas City Chiefs, Matt Cassel on Nov 14, 2012

YOLO

The above is my favorite gif of all time. Tamba Hali’s lack of dancing effort will live on for decades to come.

Matt Cassel –inserted back into the starter’s role due to Brady Quinn’s concussion– threw an interception to seal another loss for his band of sorry misfits on Monday night. On Tuesday, Quinn indicated he had been cleared to play against Cincinnati this Sunday. In a twist of fate he wasn’t cleared at all, at least according to Romeo Crennel.

The confusion defines Kansas City. A football team run into the ground by a Belichick disciple turned power mad insane person Scott Pioli and Crennel, the most absent-minded head coach in the NFL.

Mike Florio outlines the possible explanations for such idiocy:

There’s also a chance that Quinn is in the doghouse for:  (1) not telling the team he had suffered a concussion last month against the Raiders; and (2) telling reporters that he played with a concussion, which triggered more bad P.R. for the team that currently is arguing with the Jags over which one is the worst team in the league.

Neither Quinn or Cassel should see fantasy starting lineups for the rest of the season/forever. On the other hand, grab the Bengals D/ST while you still can. They’re in for a field day.

Chain Links: Oddly, Jamaal Charles seems to be more productive when he’s given the ball

Posted by Sean Tomlinson under Jamaal Charles, Kansas City Chiefs, Links on Nov 02, 2012

“He that can have patience can have what he will.”

– Benjamin Franklin

Often there’s nothing immediate about the running game. Sometimes there is, and sometimes there’s a burst early in the first quarter. A 40-yard run brings roars, spilled beer, and warm embraces between strangers. All is peaceful and perfect.

But more often it’s a process. A fighting, grinding process. Last night Chiefs offensive coordinator Brian Daboll was a willing participant in that process, a week after he really, really wasn’t, and Jamaal Charles received only five carries.

Fantasy owners are grateful, Brian.

NFL betting preview: Chiefs @ Chargers

Posted by Rob Pizzola under Kansas City Chiefs, Money making, NFL Betting Preview, San Diego Chargers on Nov 01, 2012

Consensus line: Chargers -7.5, total 43.5
Current betting percentage: 72% on the Chargers and 52% on the OVER

Individual Team Trends:

  • Chiefs are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a losing home record.
  • Chiefs are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 vs. AFC opponents.
  • Chargers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game.
  • Chargers are 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 games following a S.U. loss.
  • Under is 10-1 in Chiefs last 11 vs. AFC West opponents.
  • Under is 13-5 in Chiefs last 18 games overall.
  • Under is 12-3-1 in Chargers last 16 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.
  • Over is 23-9 in Chargers last 32 games after allowing less than 150 yards passing in their previous game.

Head-to-Head Trends:

  • Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.
  • Under is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings in San Diego.

Just when you thought that the Thursday Night Football game couldn’t possibly get any worse, the schedule makers treat us to a good old fashioned barn-burner between the Chargers and the Chiefs. I thought the Vikings and Buccaneers last week was bad, but now they’re just scraping the bottom of the barrel. Don’t worry, though, because Jaguars and Colts is on deck next week, and that should generate a ton of public interest (#sarcasm).
