Meh.

I definitely don't want to hear that we've extended Smith. I also didn't want to hear a tackles name be called April 25th, 2013. Sadly, as a Chiefs fan I've become accustomed to being disappointed. I expect this tard to get extended.

That's not exactly the way it went. It was more that once Manning picked the Donx, the Niners had to sign Smith. And Smith was waiting to see what Manning did...

There are Bucs fans?

I agree that there are a lot of truths in this... That being said, neglecting to face the inconvenient truth about our offense (from any angle you choose to approach it from) is horrible. We have exactly ONE go-to guy on this offense, and he can only do so much.

So we may not be able to do much about it, and I'll even buy (a bit) that Alex doesn't have enough weapons to be world-class, but it's only a bit. He's simply the logistics specialist on the Spec-Op team, he's not the sharp shooter. He's simply missed too many passes to open receivers for that to be the case. And the idea that he's got happy feet because he's so used to being hit (very caASSHOLE'esque!!!) might be a bit true, but points to what might be another problem... So there's blame to go around on the offense, but blindly spreading love around the whole team while also being giddy that we're 8-0 seems a bit short sighted...

I assume you mean prior to the start of the 2011 season since that didn't happen last year.

And the fact they tried to trade Kap to the Eagles before the 2012 draft basically says you really don't know whats happening behind the scenes or know what is really going on.

Carlota I'm trying to figure out if that's a good, or bad thing.

When chicks are PMSing (like so many people on this board) they crave chocolate and salt at the same time. A chocolate salt lick handles that problem in a very large way.

I see stuff like this said around here, but I'm not sure its legitimate. Outside of Clay and maybe a small handful of others, Geno is not a part of the opinions on this offense. I know a lot of people wanted Geno. I also think that most of those people accept that it didn't happen and have moved on.

1) Smith is only signed through next year at this time. No extension has been provided at this point.
2) We did elect to keep Tyler Bray as a developmental QB this year. By all accounts he's got the tools you want but it will come down to his head. We've got time to assess that.
3) Nothing from Reid's history tells me that they won't be looking for a QB in the draft next year or in future years. To assume that it will be an afterthought for Reid just as it was for the other guys before him would be a mistake at this point.

I may be wrong, but I view this as a couple of guys who came over from another organization, assessed the situation, and decided that the first step towards rebuilding this team was to establish a winning culture immediately. Thus, Alex Smith. Unlike Pioli however, there was no immediate contract extension.

I also view this as a couple of guys who unfortunately were given the top pick in a weak draft. There was no Luck in this draft. I bet you had we taken some guy in the draft and started him and been sitting here at 3-5, there would still be people bitching that we didn't select a championship QB and would need to try again next year where there are a lot more QB's coming out.

Now again I could be wrong, and time will tell, but I bet you that Reid knows that you need a top notch playmaker at QB to win championships, and that his experience in Philly has left him hungry to finally win a ring. So I think he gets that. I think Dorsey also gets that you need a QB to win big, IE Favre and Rodgers.

But I think they also wanted to establish the culture of winning here first, make it a place that people want to play at. They also want to give Smith a chance first to prove whether he can thrive or not in this particular offense with these players.

Now based on the compensation given up, I think Smith will get a contract extension in the offseason, in order to lessen his cap hit. And I think the reason they went out and got him is that Reid felt he would be a great fit for the offense and Dorsey wanted a QB who was good enough that they didn't have to go into future drafts in desperation mode to find one. They probably figure that Smith is good enough and young enough that they can let future QB's fall to them, a la a Rodgers, Kaepernick, Wilson, Dalton, etc, and take them under the "Best Player Available" mantra. And then if Bray or one of those guys is ready to step in, I think you've seen in the past that Reid has been able to trade away McNabb when he felt he was done, and Dorsey was in Green Bay when they forced Favre's hand in order to give the job to Rodgers, who they believed in.

But again, we'll see. If we're still floundering here in 4 years, then the same mistakes are being made over and over...

quality assessment of this team...

[CrazyPhuD]

to be fair the Chiefs are 0-43 and 0-19, considering the first very likely won't change this year and there's a real shot that the second won't either, people have a right to complain.

If the team was 0-16 with 22 probowlers would we not be able to complain then either?

See now, I learned something today that I wish I would have known years ago. I would have been down for some of those for a few of my ex girlfriends. "Hey girl come on over and lick on this"
