I hope Andy and Dorsey beat this drum all year and then we take two QBs in the first four rounds and then the next day Alex retires before his eggs get scrambled.

Me and you couldn't take 3 pro bowl WR's and a HOF QB and make them a SB team but most OC's (not named Reid) could. He now finds himself in a very similar position in Pitt...

If the Chiefs go into the season with Alex Smith as the starter, we can fully expect a 10-12 win season and an early, if not One And Done, playoff exist.
He's hit his ceiling and is in decline. Even if the Chiefs were to get massive improvement from the guards, a dynamic running back and a wide receiver that's in Hill's stratosphere, Alex would be unable to take advantage of those weapons. It's truly time to move on because we've all seen how this movie ends. |

I wouldn't say skilled but I would agree on aggressive.

It's not the Chiefs way to make that kind of gamble. Even though they should....

And I don't think there's a chance in hell Alex isn't our starter next year...

I wish they'd have just guaranteed $2 million of his salary that triggers on 3/11 rather than offering him a $2 million roster bonus. The guaranteed salary trigger would travel with Smith if traded after the draft. The roster bonus is just absorbed. It wouldn't have made a difference to Smith either way as he'd still be getting his $2 million, though I guess he wouldn't have gotten it in a single check. That said, as you've noted, they could easily determine that Foles is preferable to Smith and I still think the structure of Foles deal was with the mind that they could make exactly that decision. If they thought there was zero chance that Foles stays instead of Smith, that 2nd year wouldn't have been almost exactly the same as their saved cap in the event Smith is cut. that contract was constructed in a manner that allows them to maintain the same cap structure regardless of who they chose. And that tells me that they at least considered the possibility that there was a choice to be made. I'm not closing that door just yet.

Cutting Foles outright versus cutting Smith would only increase the cap by $1M. I'm holding out hope that they:
1. Cut or trade Smith. 2. Keep Foles. 3. Draft a QB in the 1st round. Let the rookie and Foles battle it out in TC. |

Cut? Surely we could net something for him in a trade if Sam Bradford was moved for a 1st rounder. |
