In hindsight the trade for Smith was a good deal. He immediately filled a huge hole stabilizing a floundering team that allowed Dorsey to use resources to build up the rest of the roster while still turning in winning seasons. He isn't great, but he's not as bad as some make him out to be. He's the perfect stopgap/bridge to a franchise QB. If Mahomes becomes the starter in 2018, there will be a market for him to do the exact same thing for another franchise if he doesn't decide to retire.
