This was the chiefs year to select a QB in the draft. The first time in franchise history that we own the #1 pick where no other team can leave us with leftovers. With the rookie wage scale, not huge amounts of dollars to set the franchise back 5 years, and QB being the biggest need for this team. I did extensive research on quite a few QB's in this class and Geno Smith is just exactly what I would want in a franchise QB.
He could be a total bust, and that is fine... but if I were the GM of this team I would've at least given this city and it's fan base a chance. I would've tried.
Something no other GM/HC has done for us.
I understand that would only make a certain amount of people happy, because most of this fan base is acceptable with taking other teams castoffs... they are used to it. Drafting is too new of a concept for them, but that's the way real super bowl winning franchises do it. (Minus Drew Brees because the Chargers were fools).
I can't believe in the ONE CITY that drafting a Bust QB at #1 overall won't get you fired because the fans haven't seen it in 30 years, Reid/Dorsey will push in all their chips in on Alex ****ing Smith.
