Well he did face him twice with the chiefs last year, if Zach was on the sideline.

Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.

If they want a 2 and a 3 next year i dont see how you DONT do it.

Im tired of the over emphasis on 2nd round picks vs established stars in this league.

What's kind of awe-inspiring is how that one thread has become so legendary that you can hardly reference it without nearly everyone knowing exactly what you're talking about!

lol yeah but what do you expect after this franchise making it a policy to throw away as many draft pics as possible each year. That definitely has made me hesitant towards trading any pics

I get what your saying but we are talking about a young PROVEN pro bowler at a need postion. Not a QB who never played well on grass or w/o Moss....Were not talking about a "system QB" who had a few good games.

And when you take a look at last years MISTAKE it starts making more sense.

This team is ready to win now with Brandon Marshall.

That joke never gets old!

Tanking is like taking a Greyhound bus cross-country. Sure, it may eventually get you where you want to go, but it’s messy and unpleasant and uncomfortable, it stinks, the entire time you’ll be wishing you weren’t there, and not everybody along for the ride is going to make it to the end. - Quote stolen from Deadspin

Years ago, someone (fishypete?) kept on insisting that we move Zach Thomas to Safety. The idea was so ridiculous, that it lives on in infamy!

Sorry Zach, but you've seen too many stars in your career. Just go enjoy retirement.

Unfortunately, it's not just draft picks, or the high price tag Marshall will warrant, but that this regime undervalues the WR posistion. Always have, most likely always will.

Sometimes I feel like this regime is that super-hot gf who refuses to go all the way. (delicately put because this is a family site ;))

See post #7. It's referring to a guy named Pete, from FH, that seriously wanted to convert ZT to Safety.

I say Zach is right. Marshall is proven and just coming into his prime. Anybody we take at #12 is a crap shoot.

I love Zach, and value his opinion on anything football related. But, on this I'd have to respectfully disagree with him.

For one thing, and not to get into a debate with all the Marshall supporters, but the off the field stuff is too much of a distraction IMO. Also, let's just say that pick (#12) ultimately gets traded down for a later first round pick and another second rounder. That's two picks you would've given up, not just one. Then there's the huge contract Marshall will want, and all the diva stuff to comes along with him. No sir, I'd just as soon let someone have the headaches while we use the pick(s) to rebuild our defense.

Now, if Marshall was more like Zach was, as a team player, and as a team representative, then I might have a different opinion on the matter. But, he's not. So, 'nough said.

JMHO...

If Zach said it then it's good enough for me. We could learn a lot from him.
