Can't give the guy that deal and then not relentlessly try to put the pieces around him that help him have every opportunity to have continued success.

2 years ago, if somebody told you to build a team around Alex Smith starting from nothing, what would you say? I know what I'd say. Your defense better win games for you because your QB won't. Give him a good running game because you don't want him throwing all the time. Give him TEs because dude is too afraid to throw to receivers. The Chiefs at full health might have a top 3 defense. They have the best RBs in the league. They have a pretty good set of TEs.
The two areas where they're weak are two areas that Smith doesn't help... at all. He doesn't get rid of the ball quickly or read the blitz which doesn't help the OL. He won't throw to receivers unless they're wide open. Honestly, if the Chiefs add WR or OL options, with everything else Smith has as a supporting cast, there is no excuse for him not to be an AFC champion QB. I personally think even with those things, he's going to fall way short.
