And you can say all day right now that "it would be fun to watch him develop" but you're largely full of shit. All of us are. Losing sucks. And in the end it doesn't matter how you lose, losing over and over again sucks badly and no, no matter the cause, fans aren't patient of it.
I know this because I saw how quickly this fanbase turned on Herm Edwards when he was trying to develop a bunch of youth. Herm was an idiot, mind you, but nobody was saying "man, it sure has been fun to watch Hali, Flowers, Carr, Bowe, Albert and DJ develop like they are..."
That was actually a damn exciting season from a player development standpoint, but the season was interminably long and just awful by the end.
This team's been too shitty for too long. Royals fans know all too well what happens when a team tries to build on a foundation of sand. You can't build greatness on top of smoldering rubble. This team has to put a foundation in place that serves as a positive proving ground for a young QB. Getting a guy like Alex Smith in here to build some positive momentum will be how we get our franchise QB.
Not desperately stabbing at the nearest option.

He wasn't losing the competition until after he twisted his ankle and result of a bad practice. Shouldn't expect a guy to have a bad practice?
No I agree with you this fan base doesn't allow time for a player like a quarterback as a rookie grow and get better. We haven't seen it and then there are those who want to see DJ and Tamba Hali get their ring so its always a win now and forget our future.
I was upset how people treated Bernard Pollard. I still don't get the hate that guy got here. He could lay the wood down and separate ball from and head from the offensive player. We didn't need Eric Berry or could have had both on the same team. Could have kept Bernard Pollard and draft a quarterback with the Eric Berry pick. I do love Eric Berry but would have been bad ass if Bonecrusher and EB were SS and FS.
