We can throw next year and draft Drew Lock. Or we can argue about how good he is and try the next Hunt-ordered Alex Smith experiment. Sooner or later a Tom Brady will fall out of the sky into the Chiefs long-awaiting arms.














Then we'll trade him off the practice squad to the Cowboys and start the next Elvis.

Totally this. Totally clean pocket counts to three and it's time to scramble or checkdown.

Again, you can't deny anything I'm saying. He missed open receivers down field ALL ****ING NIGHT!

Jesus ****ing christ, I don't even think he can read a defense because he had Hill one on one with a LB, and didn't even look at him.

Smith is only slightly better than Cassel. Time to move on.

It's not exactly the most ringing endorsement, but due $13.3 million between salary and bonuses, Smith will almost certainly be back under center for a fifth season in Kansas City. Smith has made no progress as a Chief, stubbornly minding the store while trying to avoid mistakes at all costs. With Smith going on 33, the Chiefs at the very least need a plan-of-succession in mind.

Reid really can't say shit right now. They've let two of the three "developmental" draftees walk in FA and are most likely looking at entering 2017 with only Smith and Bray at QB considering what the cap looks like. They'll have to draft a QB next season just for depth reasons and openly talking about moving away from Smith makes it extremely hard to be in a position to draft a replacement.

I am all for moving on but the replacement HAS to be an upgrade. We have a great foundation right now we need some more pieces but KC is a contender with the 3rd youngest roster in the league.

Draft a guy and develop while Smith plays next year is most likely scenario.

You can complain about him missing Maclin once, and Tyreek once but the fact is he scored A TD on the final drive which required converting 4th downs to Conley and Sherman.

You are old and blind, football takes are bad.

#Chiefs can keep QB Alex Smith at $16.9 mil next year, or cut him for $7.2 mil in dead cap. He's due a $2 mil roster bonus on March 11.

Or cut him after 2017 season for 3 million and draft his replacement this season. Much better option IMO.

Well, bye.

Most likely option and I have assumed he was gone after next year barring a SB run.

Because then you and tiger could go to a browns board and be gone.

I would be ok with that but from what you and others posted doesn't seem to be really any good draft options.

Maybe they should try to make a play for Cousins?

Red Dawg 01-16-2017 02:23 PM

I don't understand why Dorsey would keep Smith when it's clear he can't get it done. Surely Andy would not be too upset to start Foles and draft a QB. Foles was his draft pick after all. Dorsey has the power and needs to use it.

kcpasco 01-16-2017 02:23 PM

No to Cousins

I think they are good prospects, just have warts to start in 2017. Watson for example would be great to sit behind Smith for a year and then in 2018 be ready to take over.
