You're right in that they need to switch strategies, though.
And they also need to switch their mindset. For them for years (Vermiel tenure the exception) the quarterback position has not been the engine that runs the team. It's been a middle management role where the credo is "whatever you do don't **** up".
They need an entire philosophy change. Which, as much as I disliked the hire, I thought would come with Andy Reid.
And then he traded for Alex Smith. Fulfilling both the "also ran" and the "middle management" requirements.

He just might not feel strongly about these Qbs in this draft and alex was the best option for this year obviously. However I want them to take a chance on a first round QB. Pardon my mishaps in any of my response I'm on a phone
