it's essentially the same move Vermeil made 10 years ago.
This time we are probably giving up much less.
am I mad? Yeah.
It wasn't Trent's fault we didn't win a playoff game in 03 or 05. Shit, if the Lions would have miracle'd against the Steelers in week 17 and the Chiefs got the Steelers #6 seed I really think they could have gone on the same run the Steelers went on...or at least win a playoff game.
but yeah, that's essentially what we're getting.
Smith = Green >>>>>>>>> Cassel
THAT BEING SAID...I was really, really, really hoping I could buy a GENO Smith jersey in KC red...it would have been a big boost to my fan morale after the Pioli regime. Whether he developed into a franchise QB or not wouldn't have even mattered to me...it was hope and I'm not going to get that hope with Alex Smith.
can we win with Alex Smith? We probably could but it's going to take the perfect team around him and a few bounces in any given season...which is something teams with REAL FRANCHISE QB'S don't need.
so yeah, I could see us winning a playoff game and maybe getting lucky and doing some damage if we surround Smith with a perfect team and load up with a ton of quality picks trading out of #1...
but Alex Smith can never be a QB that consistently wins the division for us and 11-13 games and makes us a Super Bowl contender year in and year out which is all I want as a Chiefs fan...
so that's why I'm not happy about it
but rationally speaking like I said earlier...
Smith = Green >>>>>>>> Cassel
