I might add, I'm getting more confused than ever.
At one point, we had the ridiculous notion that the Chiefs should just ignore everything save a dogged effort to unearth the next Brady. Rummage through the QB pile like looking for a super battery in a pile of batteries, until we find one who simply can't lose, ever. Pay him to play here forever and assemble the rest of the team from scraps
Now, we're developing this 'well if Alex is mediocre. Why not be mediocre for cheap?' Just go out and round up journeymen and find someone who isn't too big a **** up who will play for peanuts. That way we can build a 'great' team by paying big bucks for talent at other positions.
These seem to be completely inapposite positions, sharing only the DNA of being tired of not having a QB carousel of home grown candidates.
I myself am not all that put out that Alex makes decent starting veteran money. I'm always on the prowl for the next big thing, and always amenable to someone who can legit unseat him. But until then, this teeth gnashing about the QB position, wishy-washy about an alternative strategy seems like just so many world-weary soldiers with plenty of gripes, but without a solution.
