Well, it looks like the deal is done.
https://twitter.com/intent/user?scre...w_p=tweetembed Jay Glazer @JayGlazer 49ers have completed a trade with the Chiefs for Alex Smith, tho can't be official til March 12. Chiefs really made a commitment to Smith Jay Glazer @JayGlazer Deal has been agreed upon between Chiefs and 49ers. Compensation unclear but I'm told again Chiefs have made a clear commitment to Smith. |

Im writing off his chance for success in NEW YORK.... I think if he can get out of there in two years or so, and get somewhere stable, he very well could have a very very nice career. The jets is just a disaster.

1. the chiefs could have traded down 2. the chiefs could have traded back up We simply don't know, and I'm guessing, with guys like Dorsey and Reid running the show, that they did the best they could. I would have loved them to draft Cousins last year. Skins got him. Maybe they couldn't trade up, and maybe they had him valued lower than the skins. Doesn't really matter, because it was a different regime last year. Point is, we are all arguing about what THIS regime did, but bringing up the history of the past three regimes over 30 years. This regime just so happened to get the 1.1 pick in a year with no 1.1 QB. Bad freakin luck. IMHO, they have don't about the best job they could've to improve the team in the time frame they have been given to date (8 months) |

This is futile. The facts are none of these guys were drafted highly, and this is the the difference I keep pointing out. There is a big difference in commitment of a franchise to a first rounder over a 3rd or 5th rounder. But yeah, if you think the commitments shown to Croyle are perfectly equal to the commitments given to Rodgers or Flacco by their franchises, then in your own mind I guess you are going to 'win' this argument. I definitely view it differently.

The key word in what I said was 'drafted.' 16 out of the last 20 Superbowl champions teams drafted and developed their starting Qb's. I don't think this trend is just a coincidence, do you?

Both Reid and Dorsey come from organizations that operate that way. The Eagles drafted Kolb when McNabb was still in his prime. And drafted Foles right after giving Mike Vick 100 mil. The packers also drafted, (incorrectly mind you) Brian Brohm in the second round while not knowing what they had in Aaron Rodgers just yet. Patience I think is the lesson everyone should learn. At least until the whole thing blows up, and the Chiefs finish 4-12.....

Since 1988, only 3 drafted quarterbacks by the Chiefs have played in a regular season game. Brodie Croyle is the only one to actually start. Only 5% of the games in that time span has a quarterback the Chiefs drafted played in a game and majority of it was Croyle. Just let that sink in.

All guys listed were available to KC. 2012: Brandon Weeden Brock Osweiler Russell Wilson Nick Foles Kirk Cousins 2011: Andy Dalton Colin Kaerpernick Ryan Mallet Greg McElroy 2010: Jesus Clausen Colt McCoy Garbage 2009: Mark Sanchez Josh Freeman Garbage 2008: Joe Flacco Brian Brohm Chad Henne Garbage Matt Flynn The ones that really hurt are the 2011 and 2012 drafts and passing on Flacco in 2008.
