Geno Smith will never be Tom Brady. He is mediocre at best, and the morons here crying about the Chiefs having a mediocre QB are slurping the balls of the mediocre QB they wanted instead. Morons, all of you.

He may be mediocre at best. He may end up being worse than mediocre. He could continue to develop and become a really good QB for the next 10 plus years. At this point, we don't know with any certainty what he will become. Thats why, speaking for myself only, I would have liked to have drafted him. He has a skillset that I think would have been really great for Andy Reid and company to continue to develop. Alex Smith, right now, after how ever many eyars in the league, is the definition of mediocre (whether some want to see it or not, thats on them I guess). He's an average NFL QB. At best. Considering it's been about 10 years since the CHiefs have had that under center, I understand why some Chiefs fans are ok with that. Hell, I was happy with last year and thought he was an ascending player or could still improve. We know he can play at a high enough level, but until he puts together a long span at that, I'm going to consider him to be what he has been over the last 3 plus years. An average, smart QB who wont beat you, but probably isn't good enough to compete at the highest level without having a mountain of talent around him. But, they've stabilized the QB position, which if I were guessing, was something they were told to do by management, seeing as both the HC and GM have a past history or doing it the right way. Basically, for me, I'll take the 2nd year QB who has the upside to become (insert whatever here) over the 10th year vet who we are still hoping can improve into something he hasnt been over his career. |

Forget about a "mountain of talent"... Until he is no longer standing in a 12 foot depression in the Earth.. he will continue to underwhelm.. yet still show clearly that he is at the bottom of the must-fix list.

Just as I stated, 10 years into his career, we still think he can be something he's not. I'd imagine you could also look at the all 22 footage and probably see this "12 foot depression" talent having guys open all over the field, but I digress. He's at the top of the must fix list, because he's not good enough. |

The 10 years into his career bit falls short for someone like Alex. Not too many QBs have had similar paths to his. Remarkable amounts of coaching fluctuation and poor teams... and the 2014 Chiefs may best all of them in sucktitude. Guys with similar careers are usually damaged backups or out of the League by now. Smith is still around and a starter because people in the know.. people untainted by irrational dispositions.. recognize that he is not the problem.

Just because a gm or coach does something, doesn't make it right. The problem with some is, they don't realize Alex smith was part of the reason fr all that turnover. |

You going to tell us that Norv Turner accepted a promotion from OC to HC because he disliked Alex's talent? That OC Jim Hostler was a great OC that went on to do anything worthwhile ever again? That Mike Martz made decisions based on Alex, who was on I.R. then anyway? That Jimmy Raye was such a success but left the NFL because of Alex's struggles? I'm sorry, what?
