But even so one move doesn't mean it's a complete failure. It just means there's a bad block in the foundation that will have to be removed and replaced at some point.

You see, I view the negativity as the overreaction, not the benefit of doubt.
We overpaid? OK, valid argument. But then a lot of those bemoaning this aspect are the same ones who demand we identify who we think is the best QB and absolutely pick him #1, even if he's just the least stinky pile of shit of all the piles of shit eligible. If that's not 'overpaying' I don't know what is.
He's just a game manager? Possibly, maybe even probably. But minds can still differ whether that can translate to overall team success. If the coaches can get him to where he converts 3rd downs with regularity, with our running game, we can run an effective ball control eat the clock offense, shortening the game and keeping our D fresh.
He's Cassel 2.0 and this regime has already ruined our team further? That's just CP PTSD. People cite raw numbers, but we know statistics often fail to tell the true story. Not the least of which is Cassel getting the vast bulk of his numbers either against shit opposition or in garbage time while losing badly to halfway decent teams. No one if offering up gifs of Smith doing stupid shit like the metric shit ton of gifs that exist on Cassel doing mind blowingly stupid shit.
Reid has had far too much success with QBs and is far to excited about Smith for me to to automatically pessimistic so far ahead of the team even taking the field.
