Aaaaaand there it is again. I thought we were done with this reeruned asinine logic when we drafted a QB.
"There's no guarantee..."
Alex is not a long term option. You can't afford to keep both Mahomes and him around on the same team forever. And Alex isn't playing forever, either. He's an old man who has taken multiple serious concussions and a season-ending injury to his throwing arm.
Let's say Mahomes doesn't work out. What the **** are you going to do? Keep rolling with Smith? HE'S AT THE END OF HIS CAREER. He can't play forever. You're going to have to say goodbye to Smith in less than 5 years anyway!
If Mahomes doesn't work out, we're going to have to get lucky and find a replacement or we're ****ed. In a couple years if we find out that Mahomes isn't good enough, then a 35+ year old Alex ****ing Smith isn't going to save us. We're going to be in the exact same position we were in before we drafted Mahomes--- the back end of the first round with no hope at top QBs you think are "sure things"
"There's no guarantee..." So? Are you ****ing looking for a guarantee? The NFL is a goddamn game. Unless you're playing something like Candy Land, you take RISKS to win games. There's no guarantee in ANYTHING.
The Chiefs unveiled a plan for the future when they drafted Mahomes. It might work out. It might not. But at least it's a ****ing plan instead of sitting around holding your dick and squeezing every last drop of juice out of an old ****ing QB on his last legs, hoping he somehow can play until he's ****ing 65. And like it or not, that plan the Chiefs chose is an unknown. They're setting this plan in motion, and they don't know what's going to happen. There's no looking back, though, and that long term plan does NOT ****ing involve Alex Smith.
