Yet, CP wants this kid to start ASAP... shockingly stupid unless Smith struggles or gets injured.

Smith also has a much, much weaker arm. Guys with smaller hands like Carr are more comparable for Mahomes.
Also, almost every talking head I have watched says 1-2 years. But, those people also likely don't realize the Chiefs cap situation and how much more money can be gained from Alex's release. They are also ignoring the fact that we valued 2PM at 2 first round picks and a 3rd round pick.
No matter how badly you want it to happen, the odds of Smith being here in 2018 are very, very slim. Andy even said himself back in Philly that he likes to develop a rookie QB over a 1-year period.
