I may have missed the reporting, but I would assume that the coaches evaluated all positions during the offseason to determine the various strings of players. If that's not the case then how did West jump over Davis? Same should hold true for QB's.

But maybe you're right and they just pick names out of a hat and stick with that.

West jumped over Davis the old fashioned way: by earning it.

West outplayed Davis in the preseason. West knows the blitz pickups. West is quicker than Davis. Me thinks West just wants it more...

QB's are different than other positions, especially backup positions. There are rarely QB competitions in camp. Houston and Buffalo were the only ones. Thee was no way our QB position was ever in play

Murray didn't beat out Daniel because Daniel was signed to be the backup. Exactly why Daniel never beat out Smith.

There was no QB battle anywhere.

This franchise has no ****ing plan. They'll win enough games to be out of contention for a top quarterback but won't have the balls to trade up. They'll ride it out with Alex Smith while wasting quality years from some great quarterbacks. We'll sign Colin Kaepernick as a reclamation project and the insanity will continue. **** this franchise.

Seconded.

Yes everyone let's wonder.

Do you think Murray will ever make start for Chiefs?

Reid sees him as hidden gem unit and witness as QBOTF in training? Or no Reid not aware of Smith awful and still displays status with Smith even after season lost?

Thoughts?

Agreed.

It just sucks that Murray is probably never going to get even one legit shot to play in the regular season. I wasn't anticipating greatness from him, but it's fair to say that given what he did in college (in a LEGIT non-gimmick offense in a LEGIT conference, mind you) and what he's shown in preseason that he isn't just some Mike Kafka asshole that Reid has collected over the years. Smith is entrenched this year and the next year, and if the Chiefs lose out like I think they can lose out, there will be not a single goddamn good reason why we will pass on a QB in the draft, or at least address it in rounds 1-3.

He's TWO injuries away this year from seeing action, and if we let Daniel move on after his contract expires this season, AT BEST he'll still be an injury away from seeing action in 2016.

Andy is never going to switch things up. Even Michael Vick needed a Kevin Kolb injury to take his place as the true best QB for the Eagles several years ago. And in this case, it's a measly 5th round guy challenging a douchebag with tens of millions of dollars on the books.

It's why people talk about Alex getting injured a lot. Because they're sick of watching him play, and the coaches in charge will never try out other options.
