You've drafted Travis Kelce, Marcus Peters, Tyreek Hill, Dee Ford and Chris Jones in recent years. You have to surround that young talent with the most crucial piece.
Thanks Alex, you did what you were suppose to, but KC needs a franchise QB.

Great way to look at it.
Smith was an immediate band-aid designed to bring the team back to respectability. He's killed the playoff monkey, he's led a team to a division championship in a legitimate tough division. He's played adequately enough to allow for the development of young players like Kelce, Hill and (yes) Fisher.
He's done his job and now it's time to get it over the hump. Go get your last piece of the puzzle, the guy that can keep this window open for 5+ more years. The team is respectable. It's a team you don't want to see on your schedule. Teams look at the Chiefs game each year and at worst figure they'll have a fight on their hands. He's set us up nicely to move forward and now its time to do exactly that.
I think that's a fair way to look at it. Much fairer than my "jesus tapdancing christ how did he not throw that goddamn football!?!?!" approach.
