So, how does everyone feel about the Reid era so far?

They boxed themselves in. Realy bad move. Not impressed at all. I expected them to do something bold and creative not Marty and safe. This "We can't draft a QB because there is no Andrew Luck and RG3" idea is a cop out. There rarely are guys like that in one draft.

Same lame moves as have been made for the last 30 years will bring the same lame results.... Blowouts if they make a playoff game.

It's an over-reaction.

The Chiefs have not signed Alex Smith long-term. They have not passed on any QBs in the draft yet. They have not made any indication that they refuse to find a young QB to groom behind Smith with the intention of him being the long-term starter.

If Alex Smith is the best QB we come up with over the next 3 years, and it's because we didn't try, then yes. If he's a stopgap for a year or 2, I really could care less how many picks we gave up.

They shit their pants trading for this bum. They paid way too much for him.

Without knowing their intention for Alex Smith, you can't say this.

Based on a lot of the moves the Chiefs made, it's seems like Reid/Dorsey got the directive that they need to start winning games fast and getting Arrowhead jumping again. If that's the directive, then Smith is the best choice for that. BUt that does not mean they are committed to Alex Smith as their long term QBOTF.
