Dumb.
An owner hires a GM and coach for their philosophy, whether its an offensive or defensive scheme or in the case of a GM, team building philosophy. An owner doesn't hire someone in order to "try" something different.
I ****ing swear, the Chiefs have the most DELUSIONAL fans in the NFL. Since 2007, they've had a pair of 2-14 seasons, a pair of 4-12 seasons and haven't won a playoff game in 20 years, yet it's "Super Bowl or Bust" within four years.
This team was a laughing stock among players, agents and in league circles. Hunt hired the best possible head coaching candidate, the best possible personnel man and acquired the best possible QB to lead this team, yet butt****s like you clamor for Carson Palmer, Matt Flynn, Kevin Kolb and Geno Smith.
It's hilarious how seriously you take your dumb opinion.

If taking a kicker in the first round had a strong correlation with consistent success and likelihood of winning the ultimate prize, and every NFL team did it except for the Chiefs did it, sure, it would make sense to "try" it.
What I want/hope for the Chiefs to "try" is not something drastic or unusual. It is a commonly accepted practice amongst every team and fanbase in the NFL ... except, apparently, for this one.
Alex Smith was the best available QB this offseason. That's great and all, but it ultimately doesn't mean jack unless he takes a big step forward. I HOPE he does... I just severely doubt it, and think if he doesn't, it was a bad move and overpay.
I find it hilarious how seriously you take this argument and how angry you're getting.
Rage on, cupcake.
