Even I find myself in total agreement with Dane. I need a drink.

What can I say, I'm feeling optimistic. |

1)Shefter said they gave up a 2nd and another mid-round pick. All credible reports point to that being the compensation. Glazer said they made a "significant" commitment to Smith. This isn't a flyer. 2) In the last four drafts every team that has picked #1 overall has chosen a QB. 3) Since Blackledge, 65 QBs have been chosen in the first round. Not one of them by the Kansas City Chiefs. 4) You may not like Geno Smith. That's fine. It's also not about Geno Smith. It's about a philosophical commitment to the quarterback position through the draft and this franchise hasn't even shown at attempt to try. I'm more than comfortable saying that neither Reid nor Dorsey select a first round QB in the length of their first contract here, because Smith is just good enough to manage us into mediocrity.

Should we then defer to their judgment? Like we did Scott Pioli?

Actually, it will probably be the opposite. He will start slow, and get better as he gets more familiar.

Nick Foles will be KC's QB next season. Alex Smith deal will fall through.

Foles is a really good qb. I have no idea why the eagles decided to be such dicks about moving him. Hes never going to start for them

I chose SB winner....why not? I trust Reid and Dorsey--if they decide to pass on Geno, I've gotta think there is real reason. I still hope we acquire a pick that will enable us to nab a developmental project in case Alex doesn't pan out...but wouldn't be totally peeved if they chose another position of need to address.
I suspect those guys know much more about football than most of us, so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt at this point. I'll be looking/hoping for Alex to become the Raider version of Gannon. West coast offense, a guru to groom the QB, a solid foundation of vets....we may never win a SB, but given the circumstances, I hope we can make lemonade out of lemons. Sucks we didn't have the #1 last year.

These guys saw 6 pro bowlers on the roster, and decided to go the safe route, rather than develop a QB. It's the same bullshit we've seen for 30 years.
