The question is "Smith or Garopollo". I'll take Garopollo. Smith has hit his ceiling and 2017 will be a wasted year with him as the starting QB. |

Alex Smith, and it's not even close.

I am discussing the potential of making that choice if they are left with the scraps of this QB class. I have reached my breaking point with Smith, and would rather risk moving forward with Garoppolo, if those were my only options.

No to Garoppolo.
I don't see any point in doing it. And I'm tired of trading for other people's retreads let alone Patriot retreads who have consistently failed on other teams. Alex Smith has 2 years left and I'd be shocked if we extended him. At worst, we have to deal with him for 2 more years. It's not the worst thing in the world to have Alex Smith as a QB if it's only a short time. He gives the Chiefs and outside chance at a Super Bowl which is more than you can say about most QBs. But we need to fight like hell this year to draft a QB we believe is a QBOTF. The ideal scenario for me is to get Deshaun Watson even if it means a trade-up, then spend the next 2 years developing him. Judging by Dorsey and Reid's tone, it sounds like they understand the urgency to bring in a good young QB. |

He has had a full year for his back to heal and is a legit top 5 QB when healthy. Another big factor in trading for him is that his contract contains no guaranteed money and is very reasonable for 3 years. If we trade for him and he gets hurt, he can be cut with no dead money. It's essentially a low risk/huge reward roll of the dice. Trading for Romo and drafting a QB high in the draft is absolutely the right move. |

At this point in time both Boss and Pest's scenarios have to be considered as options. I am in favor of either of those two. If, in time, neither of those options pan out and we are left with MM's scenario, I'd stay with Smith. Draft Mahomes or Watson, and have an honest to God QB competition in training camp.

Some of you guys are acting as if Mahomes and some of the other QB's are absolutely "Locks" to become Elite QB's. That's not even close to being the case. |

As far as Mahomes, he's extremely raw, way rawer than Ryan Tannehill (which is probably his ceiling at this point). He played in the Big 12 so he faced crap defenses, so he can't read defenses and played in the Air Raid. He has serious upside, but the question is "Can and when will he reach it?". None of these guys are Andrew Luck or Carson Wentz or Dak Prescott, et al. |
