I picked Geno because in the end I think Geno will be a top 10-12 QB in the NFL for a decade, so in the big picture view I picked having a top level QB for a decade over an 8-0 start to a season with possibly 1 playoff win. So yeah give me the QB to build around over a good regular season for 1 year.
Of course that's always been the problem with Chiefs fans as this poll clearly shows. They love that short term gratification of regular season wins over the few years of growing pains developing a QB that can take them to the next level down the line.

Believe it or not, we are not as far apart as you might think. I wanted the Chiefs to draft Geno, but I am fine with Andy Reid making his own decision. At 8-0, Reid is clearly better at picking a quarterback than Pioli/Haley/Crennel were. Geno has played well enough this year that I wish he were on the Chiefs roster as QBOTF, and it could have easily happened. I do think Alex Smith was a good choice to bring immediate stability to a 2-14 team, and I disagree with your position that the Chiefs would be 6-2 with Geno. But, like probably everyone else right now, I sure do wish they had drafted Geno instead of Eric Fischer, and put him on the bench to learn behind Alex Smith.
