I have an immense amount of respect for franchises that take proactive approaches to their QBs. Like when the Packers transitioned from Favre to Rodgers. The Niners with Montana to Young. Hell, even Andy Reid when he was in Philadelphia, transitioning away from McNabb with a QB he thought was promising while also throwing in Vick as insurance in case Kolb wasn't the guy.
Alex will be 31 and has no testicles. It's time for us to take the same approach instead of watching him get his brains bashed in and saying, "Uhp, but there aren't any good QBs for us to draft this year! Better trade for another team's backup!"
It's either that or we sit around bitching about how we're a "snake-bitten franchise" and there just aren't any Andrew Lucks available to us when we need them!

Dude, they are doing it. Bray, Murray. I was ****ing livid when they drafted Murray. Wasting a ****ing draft pick on a guy who was no more than Chase Daniel's clone. But yet the picked the guy.
Like I said, when they like a guy, and he's on their board above the other guys, they'll take that QB. Neither Reid nor Dorsey have ever just sat on the position.
The trade for Smith was proactive. We've gone, in two scant seasons, from the worst team in the league to having back to back winning seasons for the first time in nearly 20 ****ing years. Coaching has a lot to do with that, but so does the QB position. The signing of Daniel was proactive. The signing of Bray was proactive. The wasting of a draft pick for Murray was proactive.
It will happen and thank the little baby Jesus they aren't going to reach for the position to do it so we end up with some Chiefs Planet All-Pro like Jimmy Clausen or Mark Sanchez.
