Having that franchise QB will ALWAYS give you a chance. It doesn't matter if you have the best everything else or not.

For Smith to win a SB with Andy, we would need the defense to play at an all-time level.
The question was never "is it easier to win a SB with an elite QB", the question has always been "is it possible to win a SB without one".

I think the answer to the latter question is indisputably yes, but I think we've reached a point of diminishing returns with Smith where that job's just going to continue getting harder. The hill will get steeper next year for a Chiefs team with Smith under center, not smaller.

So it's time to change course. You can appreciate what Smith did to help bring the Chiefs back to respectability but you can also acknowledge that the margin for error just isn't big enough with him under center and it's going to get smaller as we advance.
