Buddha is obviously a man of faith, hence his name. Faith tells you not to question what you are told by authorities. You must accept what those on high tell you.
They tell you to ignore what your eye can see or what evidence suggests. It was the Age of Reason that doomed religion; and, we'll be damned if you let Reason destroy the bubble we have created here.
The High Priest knows God better than the layman. Andy Reid knows more football than the layman. You must trust the High Priest. He tells you that Alex Smith is better than Matt Cassel, you must believe it. The fact that their statistics are similar is not evidence. The fact that their style is the same, is irrelevant. The fact that their strengths and weaknesses are similar, is not evidence.
The better evidence, the Priest tells us, is that the 49ers had 6 wins out of 8 with the Chosen One as QB. The fact that the rest of the team was Super Bowl quality and that any QB could have taken them to the SB is beside the point, and likely apochrypha. Trust the Priest. Suspend your disbelief. Suspend your reason.
If the Priest says a man likely to be cut by his team, and only fielded a 4th rounder from the Cards, is worth the equivalent of a good first round pick, he must be right. He knows more about football than you.
If the High Priest says that it is right to draft an unproven LT at 1.1 to replace a proven one, and save $2 million in salary, and then cut a productive RT to save $2 million in salary, you should get down on your knees and thank the High Priest for his benevolence. He knows football, and God, better than you.
If he chooses to spend that $4 million in savings in signing the likes of Chase Daniels, a man with 9 passes in the NFL and let go by the Saints without a murmur, you should worship the Holy Man for his wisdom. He knows football better than you.
A loyal congregation follows the Holy Man blindly. To do less is to blaspheme God. Just ask the Grand Ayatollah. If you do not love our religion, you are free to go. One may only follow and serve. One may not question.
Listen to Buddha and learn what is wisdom.

I haven't said many of those things, but I did appreciate your zesty sarcasm.
It's foolish to argue the merits of Chase DANIEL (note...no S at the end). You don't want to hear it, and until he starts playing, there is nothing to prove the point. The Chiefs obviously weren't buying production there. Reid/Dorsey know what they have in Daniel...he's no smaller than Russell Wilson, his arm is every bit as good, and he's been perfecting his craft with Payton and Brees for several years. He's not crippled, and I believe he's prepared to be THE GUY in the NFL. CD was more accomplished in college than Wilson, for what its worth. He was a Heisman finalist. A terrific player.
As for the Alex Smith haters, who had the top QB rating the NFL when Smith went out? I don't think he's an elite QB, but he's better than most on here want to admit (which is a damn odd thing, btw). Let's tear everything apart before one game is played.
KCDC...why don't you take a stab at suggesting a solution if you don't like what Reid/Dorsey are doing?
And finally, if you've read any of these threads, you'd see that I don't think there is one left OT that is worth 1.1. I've posted that several times.
Carry on.
