The team wasn't going from 2-14 to Super Bowl contender over night. You're so tired of winning 10 games a year when the Chiefs from 2000-2013 when Dorsey/Reid came, had 10 wins 3 times.
Alex Smith wasted time, but you were firmly happy hitching your wagon to Geno Smith, who would have wasted a similar amount of time and this end result would still be the same. The Chiefs finally get their young potential franchise QB, which this regime was always going to get when they found the prospect they loved.

It also clearly wasn't going to win the Super Bowl with Alex Smith. He had every advantage possible in 11 and couldn't get it done.
The combo of that obvious likely outcome and the fact the Chiefs had been hammering the same ****ing door for
30 years is what made it so frustrating.
At least if they had taken a shot in 13 with Gene, or the year after with Bridgewater or Carr, etc. there would have been some unknown.
