Dak had horrible footwork, accuracy issues and came from a spread offense. He's not much different than the prospects this year.
Talent is there for a QB to succeed and multiple QB's in this draft could do well in the system.

We just won 12 games in spite of a QB not throwing TD's. A rookie could be essentially the same exact copy of Alex but far cheaper....just like Semen did in Denver.

I feel like Dak is alright, but am not 100% sold and wouldn't be surprised if he tapered off at some point. He had some help...to put it lightly... like, more help than any QB could ask for... On top of that awesome OL, his receiving targets only had 8 drops all season... out of 479 targets. That's the lowest out of any team in the league...

Right now the Chiefs are the 6th youngest roster in the league so they have a short window. With Jamaal gone, DJ and Tamba being less than stellar (DJ only because of injury) and Houston hopefully on the mend they need to shore up a number of positions but QB has to be a priority. Again, the last time a QB drafted by the Chiefs won a game in any capacity was 1987. That is just turrible.

I do agree we need to address the qb position early. But how does having the 6th youngest roster mean we have a short window? We're not going to miss much DJ and Tamba gone. They are far past their prime. We've barely played had a healthy Houston. For how many vets we have on the roster, having the 6th youngest is ridiculous. Our window is as long as Dorsey is our gm

Not really true. Dak might have fit this description prior to his senior season, but he showed impressive strides in 2015. He was much more polished, accurate, and coverage aware as a senior prospect.

Every window in the NFL is short unless you have a legit franchise QB. You have a much better shot at capitalizing on superior talent in other areas if you're team leader is a legitimate star.

Several teams have won championships with middling QB's but they had superior supporting casts. Our supporting cast is excellent, but with a middle of the road QB, the window is short.

He definitely went into an ideal situation.

From Matt Miller:

Honestly, any of these QB's not named Trubisky are going to need a minimum of one season on the bench before they're ready, most likely (and that might even go for Trubisky, too). Mahomes apparently has all the intangibles coaches look for in a QB, so take him if he's there, let him learn how to QB under Alex and Andy, and see what you have a year from now. That goes for Watson and Kizer, as well.

No, do not let him learn from Alex, please.

Let's let the QB learn from Alex so he can learn the proper way to check and dink.

i didn't want to be the first to point this out ROFL

Trubisky doesn't even have much college experience...he's probably a candidate to sit, IMO.

Trubisky only started 12 games in college.

That's dumb. No reason to not let a young QB learn from Alex.

If you want to worry about something then worry about a young QB only knowing our current offense. When Nick Foles entered the game, Reid didn't open the offense up. He ran the same dink/dunk offense that everyone around here claims only to happens because Alex Smith is our quarterback.

If Alex Smith is the only problem with our offense then why didn't that change when Nick Foles started?

Alex Smith is a smart guy who is also a team guy, he will a great QB for a young guy to learn from.
