I wouldn't suggest the QB search ends with Smith, and thankfully, Reid and Dorsey have a history of not being satisfied at the QB spot either, regardless of who they have.

Atleast, not until they get their guy.

Which wouldn't be Smith, or any vet they pick up, well,maybe Foles, but that's becoming unlikely. I think their guy, will be drafted by them.

I wouldn't think he would be, but Reid seemed to roll with Vick, so who knows.

Pretty much my feeling on this is **** a retread. I know he's not a bad player, had a good year or two etc. I get that.


But **** it. It's not rational thought, but it is what it is.

We trade for Alex Smith, draft Luke Joeckel they start...then I just don't ****ing watch this team this fall.

I can totally see this being the case right now.

Don't forget Cassel being restructed to remain the backup.

I'll probably find some other things to do.


I'm having a newborn in August, so I'd say I can find some other things to do on Sunday.

if they are going to trade him its going to be before FA or during FA.

they wont trade him on draft day. FA is when to do it, they need to trade his 8.5 million and so they can splurge on a FA #1 CB, Talib, Grimes, Cary Williams, who ever the **** they think is worth it, there is a ton of them and they will spend that. But trading Smith before the FA market starts is the key.

if they dont trade him before FA and lose out on all those CBs they are just going to keep him and foot the bill

with that said, this will either be happening in the next couple weeks or it wont be. So we just got to survive until the end of March and we are good. (if they pushed FA back then its April, same concept)

If THIS is the road they decide to travel, I'd rather see Albert re-signed and Warmack at #1.

For for no other reason than to shut the national media the **** up about the Chiefs offensive line.

That would be pretty Chiefs like.

So we cut Cassels 7 million dollar contract only to take on Smith's 8.5 million dollar contract?

That would push me over the edge.

Last year pissed me off enough with Poe. This year would be it.

[mcaj22]

nothing to be pissed about with Poe in round 1

everything to be pissed about the garbage players taken after Poe in rounds 2-7 and who we passed over in all of those rounds

[RunKC]

I can really see us doing something like this: draft Joeckel and trade back into round 1 for a QB.
