Hali has a huge contract and is 29 or 30..he's about done.

It would mean they landed the best veteran QB on the market in Smith, and the best rookie QB on the market in Geno.

This franchise needs a sea change, much like Herm's sea change in 2006 when he declared a turn away from veterans and a turn towards the NFL Draft and a youth revolution. That revolution still guides this team to this day.

I think Reid's game, should he actually pull this off, could guide future decisions for this franchise for a couple decades, and finally snap the castoff curse.

Name me somebody right now who is better than Hali who plays his position and is on the open market.

No. No, no, no, no, no.

Joe Montana was a proven 4 time Super Bowl winning QB. He was the best of a generation and maybe the best of all time. After the Chiefs tried DeBerg, Krieg, Elkins and Blundin, this was a move to put them at the head of the class of the AFC and bring home a championship.

Now, if the Chiefs had acquired Peyton Manning, that comparison would be valid. If the Chiefs had acquired Aaron Rodgers or Eli Manning or Tom Brady, those comparisons would be valid.

But Alex Smith? Geno Smith?

LMAO

Alex Smith is a stop gap QB that brings experience as a starter. Geno Smith is an unproven rookie.

Smith and Smith do not equal, in any way, shape or form, Joe Montana.

No.

Let's say they restructure Jackson and bring in Jenkins or Canty...sign a vet corner.

It should be interesting to see what Baldwin does, going forward, too.

I'm really tired of this misconception that age 30 is a cutoff for all NFL players.

Look, people. The 30 year old thing was for RUNNING BACKS. Somehow, over the past couple of years, people have started using that on every position in the NFL. Any player 30 years old is "washed up" or "almost done."

It's not true, it's not accurate, and it's really myopic.
