Just wanted, one time, to post my stance for posterity.

Because there are getting to be too many of a vocal minority who are stating things about the future that have pushed way past pessimist into DICKHEAD TROLL, and I don't whatever day of reckoning comes in the future to have anyone saying [oh, you say that NOW. . . ]

No, I'm saying it NOW.

Of that 5 minutes of footage, Cassel made maybe 3 of those plays in his whole career.

There are game managers, and THEN there are smart, mobile accurate game managers. Aikman was never Favre, Young, Manning or Rodgers, but he has a shit-ton of gilt on his fingers because he knew what the situation needed at all times.

That's different from the 2010 Cassel game manager, where it's 'hey, our competition Suh-hu-huh-UCKS all season long, so hand the ball off as often as possible and throw away any passing down that mystifies you in the least, we'll get them later.' And it's WAY THE **** different from Cassel game manager against real compeition, where his uniform was fitted with a PEX line from anus to ankle for the most efficient way to shit down one's leg.

I'd love for someone to compile a video of the most boneheaded mistakes AS has committed on field. Not things he failed to produce, but things he did to the detriment of the team. We've seen Cassel's, some boggle the mind, some are eligible for AFI designation of greatest comedies in history.

Be smart
Be mobile
Be accurate
Be an asset

That's what I expect of AS right now

When we finally rise to a playoff level team, I will also expect

Be clutch.

I have full faith as I stand here right now AS will deliver.

I am metaphysically certain we are light years ahead of the Cassel era.

You realize that was a highlight package? Try watching an entire Alex ****ing Smith game.

I watched several last year and in 2011. I was jealous.

As did I. We got a lot of them here as they're in St. Louis' division.

At least the highlight reel had HIGHLIGHTS. And not padded, or slo-mo, or repeated from a different angle, highlights. Snap boom, snap boom. Nice run, nice throw, nice scramble.

Like I said, Cassel did maybe three of those plays in his whole career, and has a shit ton more ****ups.

You want to show clips of AS hurting his team, I'll be glad to look. But like I said, I'm talking about active detriment, not some vague sense of lack of production, or leaning on the running game and D. Also, be sure to annotate the time and place of occurrence, and don't try to pass off some shitty play from years ago as if it happened yesterday. Feel free to include any shitty play you wish from any point in his career, so long as time and place is noted.

30 years of ineptitude at the QB position has really affected your expectations.

Once Smith faces adversity, and his abilities are questioned, his confidence will sink, and you'll want him gone.

Well, Herm is a ****ing idiot. So theres that...

[ceebz]

LOL, this team ain't challenging shit. Except for a top ten draft pick.

Believing that Alex Smith will make this team a perennial Super Bowl Contender is very much like believing in God. Sure, you can have some blind faith, but everytime you go hunting for evidence, you come up empty handed.

And much like believing in God, everytime you uncover evidence that he doesn't exist, you'll simply bury your head in the sand and rely on your faith again.

I hear you, Chiefsplanet. I hear you all telling everyone how great Alex Smith is going to be. But i have yet to see a shred of evidence that would suggest he's anything more than a mediocre game manager on his best days.

Good for you man, good for you.

I have seen enough to think he can do it.

You're right. A guy drafted in the 2nd round of a bad QB class was much more likely to change water into wine than Alex Smith is to make the Chiefs the kind of contender that Trent Green made us.

I'm sorry your messiah was crucified on day one of the draft.

Still beating that same old drum eh?

Is that all you have to bring to the conversation? Bashing on Geno while still ignoring the entire reason why fans wanted Geno in the first place?

Im not having this conversation with you again simply because you're far too dense to understand how & why people became passionate about a young, talented, developing QB.

A little humility on your part is in order after being so monumentally wrong about everything for the past 6 months.

The only thing i was wrong about is him going in the 1st.

The idea and philosophy still stands. I never made ridiculous claims about what Geno Smith will or won't do in the NFL, even though that's what you'd like to believe.

I've stated my reasons for wanting what was widely considered to be the top QB in the draft class, and those reason have not waivered.

And If Alex Smith proves to be what I think he is, mediocre, we'll be right here doing this again, having this same conversation again next season, just like we've been doing for the past 4-5 seasons.

Rinse & repeat until the Chiefs finally take the plunge.

The Broncos have tough schedule:

Ravens, @Giants, Eagles, @Cowboys, Jaguars, @Indy, Redskins, @ NE, Titans, @ Texans plus division games.

Road games at Giants, Cowboys, Indy, NE and Texans could all be possible losses. I doubt they lose them all so even if they lose 4 of them and maybe the Ravens at home. That is still only 5 losses. I think we will challenge them, but I think in the end the Broncos still win the division at 11-5 and the Chiefs finish a couple of games back.
