Want me to give you the list of starting QBs we've had since Len Dawson? Enough ****ing around with "sure things" and "UHHHP HE MIGHT NOT BE A NO BRAINER." We don't have that luxury. |

I don't put that on Reid and Dorsey though. They shouldn't inherent the QB decision of past regimes. If they decide to take a QB they don't believe in because this fan base has suffered so long, and they deserve a first round QB, just to have one, I'll lose all respect for them.

Guess what the Chiefs have that NO OTHER desperate and QB-deprived team has in this draft? Time. Kansas City is PERFECT for Geno. And frankly, I think Geno is perfect for Kansas City and Andy Reid. This was a match made in heaven, and if the Chiefs are too stupid to recognize the potential here, then they truly are no better than ***** or Carl, regardless of whatever QB mess they inherited. |

Because the signing of Alex Smith gives you approximately two years of solid QB play while bringing Geno up to speed.
Oakland, Buffalo, Jacksonville, Jets, Arizona don't have that luxury. (Palmer is the closest, but he's 10+ years in the league and even the Raiders jettisoned him for only a seventh rounder.) They don't have a guy of Alex Smith's level to immediately help right their floundering ships. By picking Geno, those teams are more likely than not playing Geno much sooner rather than later. The Chiefs have the luxury of bringing him along and making sure he's ready to go when his opportunity arises. Dorsey has that luxury after doing so with another very talented QB with good NFL upside in Rogers. The Chiefs can select Geno #1 overall and the majority of fans would be happy to see him learn the right way while Alex Smith starts for the next two years versus thrusting him into the starting position immediately. Pretty savvy move by Dorsey/Reid in getting Alex Smith and having the potential to draft a huge upside player at the most important position on the field in Geno. |

If Alex Smith winds up being this era's Steve DeBerg, so be it. It's still a pretty good life. |
