The only cause for hope I would have is that the guy really played well last year before he got hurt, and that he'd be coming here with an offensive staff that can coach up QBs. If they took a QB early in the draft and had him, I would let it play out, but I'm not happy about another retread ultimately. I think someone like Tyler Bray would be the ultimate risk/reward guy to pair with Smith.

If they are going to draft one in the 2nd then just ****ing start him. Please give away a 4th round pick(essentially a 3rd) plus paying a guy a decent amount just so we can have a "vet" QB while the other guy learns. Just ****ing put the guy in. I don't give a **** about winning 9 games with Alex Smith. QB's don't need years off to sit unless they are incredibly raw. This isn't 2002. I made it 10 minutes before I let this piss me off before it even happened. |

C'mon now. He's a far better QB than Cassel.

He'd pretty much be a stop gap, until they could either find the next guy or get the next guy ready. But, with the way the rookies are now, I really don't think you need a stop gap to get him ready. This would be extremely disappointing, IMO, and if they do this, they better damn well win next year. |

Yep. Going ahead trying to win a SB with a game manager is foolish. It's going to work again someday, but the odds are low. Trying to be that team is stupid. Taking a chance on a guy with potential is a better play in my mind. Even in the best possible situation Alex Smith is a game manager and he won't be in the best situation possible next year in KC.

I wouldn't say "far better" nor "shit ton better". Maybe, a little better.
They both had 'a' good season. Nothing more than a pair of medicore-game managing-noodle armed backups.

I think that the QBs that have come out lately have spoiled everyone. I think if they got the Alex Smith that was in SF last year they'd win a lot. I think this defense is going to be a bear to deal with next year. I think the attacking one gap defense is a perfect fit for Poe and we will see true playmakers shine in it. 70% completion, 13/5 TD ratio in basically 9 1/4th games isn't horrendous. That's basically a 23/10 ratio over the course of a season. Smith is still only 28, so that's another plus. I'm just trying to find the editable parts of this shit sandwich.

The idea of more coming is even more depressing. The idea that some Chiefs fans want it is not surprising. Neither is the media suggesting it should happen. The media predict and preach that we should get some retread QB. We get them, and while we shit ourselves for a few years the media stops paying attention. Then they show up only to suggest the same thing, having not seen what had just happened.

Plus, I'm a believer that even with sitting, he's still going to have a learning period after that and I'd rather him just learn in the fire. And if you think the defense will be a bear, woudln't it make more sense to let your rookie QB lean on them early and our running game to get his feet wet? ****, I just don't think I have it in me for another retread. I said it last night about FOles, say it again here. This is just too damn familiar and I feel pretty ****ing dirty even entertaining the idea. Yeah, his last year wasn't horrendous, neither was 2011. Neither was Matt Cassel's 2010 or 08. |

He's under contract another year. They shouldn't even touch that subject. Let him play out the year if this trade does in fact happen.
