I find it very appropriate that this thread turned into a funeral pyre of Alex Smith butthurt.

Pffft, the tears of shame that Alex will create this season are going to be legendary.

Same here. No way do I need laptop. Work provides that.

I have a good job and a girl lol. 100 bucks on cable is craps until they let you select which channels you want I won't buy cable.

Who said Clark doesn't want to win, he has had two winning seasons in a row. Way to jump to a conclusion on something I didn't say. This team just isn't going to draft and develop a QB, they never have and they haven't even tried in over 30 years. It is what it is.

:D

They've drafted plenty of QBs, they just haven't drafted one in the first round.

So are you saying that Clark is behind his desk somewhere telling everyone they'll be fired if they try to pick a QB in the 1st round?

Is he screening GM and HC candidates by warning them they shall never draft one in the 1st, ever?

Clark looks around at most super bowl winning teams and sees that they have this thing in common, and he says "Nope!"

Come on.

They haven't really drafted plenty of QBs, either.

Murray (5th)
Stanzi (5th)
Croyle (3rd)
Killian (7th)
Barnes (4th)
Stenstrom (4th)
Matthews (7th)
Blundin (2nd)

Those are all the QBs we've drafted since 1990. 25 years for being as shitty as we have been at the position, and we've only drafted 8 guys throughout the 7 rounds. And half of those are 5th round and later "throwaway" QB picks.

When Alex Smith breaks down and we need a new QB, what are we going to do? Trade for another veteran? Are you going to say, "the sins of the team's past shouldn't hold down the decision making of the current team?"

That's what we said in 2013, and we're still without a first round QB.

There's a golden plaque behind his desk that says:

"Thou shalt not venture above round three".

Really.

Good post.

Dur, all the best talent for QB comes in rounds 4-7, everyone knows this!

"Andy Reid is different"

He already Carl Petersoned shit up by passing on Teddy Bridgewater in 2014. That's one strike. You can probably bet your ass he'll pass on some other first round QBs in the future, too.

The sins of the team's past DO become the sins of the team's future when they commit the SAME ****ING SIN over and over again.

No, that's not true; THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!/Lil' Chiefy

My best educated guess is they will draft a QB in the first 2 rounds of the 2016 draft.

Reid traded McNabb after the season he was 33yrs old. Alex is 31 now so I'd guess he would want to get a replacement in line to groom in the next year.
