On the fence, ask again after the season. Not waiting again like the last time.

By merely removing Cassel and Quinn and their turnover tendencies and replacing them with someone who doesn't turn it over is a huge difference. Why do we have to hope this staff is an upgrade? Anyone with a pulse and who's watched at least a weekend of football knows it is.

The Chiefs have not signed Alex Smith long-term. They have not passed on any QBs in the draft yet. They have not made any indication that they refuse to find a young QB to groom behind Smith with the intention of him being the long-term starter. If Alex Smith is the best QB we come up with over the next 3 years, and it's because we didn't try, then yes. If he's a stopgap for a year or 2, I really could care less how many picks we gave up. |

Shitty year to get the #1 pick, but very excited about the upcoming season.

I think Reid is a very good HC that just became stale in Philly. After a long enough period of time, the players tune the coach out.

Alex Smith is a bummer and Bob Sutton is a concern.
EDIT: Alex Smith has only played two full seasons in 8. Chase Daniel has thrown less than 10 NFL passes(IIRC). |

I know for damn sure Reid is far more competent than our last 3 coaches.

This offense had the potential to be explosive even with Alex Smith in my opinion.

Haven't played a game yet so you can't really judge. Alex Smith doesn't have me hot and ready like a Little Caesar's pizza though to be honest. I have low expectations for this team because of the QB position. I'm hoping to be impressed and proven wrong by Reid.

Sofar, the only thing I question is the price they paid for Smith. I'd give them a B at this point.

Based on a lot of the moves the Chiefs made, it's seems like Reid/Dorsey got the directive that they need to start winning games fast and getting Arrowhead jumping again. If that's the directive, then Smith is the best choice for that. BUt that does not mean they are committed to Alex Smith as their long term QBOTF. |

People want high lights. That's all they care about. They want the aerial show, even though the super bowl winning qb last year, threw 28 tds, and less than 4000 yards.......

In a QB-driven league where teams are moving to spread, the best QBs are throwing for 5,000 yards, and the top QBs are responsible for the majority of Super Bowl wins, our formula is for a 3,000 yard QB that wins with the running game and defense? I am fine with Alex Smith as a stop gap. He's not a long-term answer. I don't give a shit how many yards Flacco threw for in 2012. He won the Super Bowl because in the playoffs, he was making throws that only elite QBs make. |
