Those are the only QBs I'd take over Cam.

15 or 16 sounds right.

Says in this link that his ranking was 16 last season.

[Sounds alarm to cue something important] Play-action! Keep that in mind. Smith is excellent at play-action. The Chiefs hired Chris Ault, the grandfather of the pistol, a formation in which the play-action pass could be very effective. Think play-action with Chris Ault. It's not all about the pistol. The play-action will only work with a guy like Jamaal Charles back there. Think how effective that could be.

Interesting note that Smith has been "outstanding" with multiple tight end personnel. The Chiefs have multiple tight ends who will see the field. If those tight ends can block AND catch, it helps sell that play-action.

I'm to the point, as a Chiefs fan, where I just want to see them not screw it up. Don't care so much about going for the jugular or things like that. I just want them to not screw it up. Don't look bad. Don't go 2-14. Just look like a normal dang team. Is it bad that my expectations have lowered like that?

I would LOVE to see an up-tempo offense that excels at short throws. Efficiency is the name of the game and that's where Smith makes his money. The Chiefs traded for him partially because he was so accurate, so you may as well put him in the best position possible to highlight that accuracy. An up tempo offense, focusing on quick throws and our guy Jamaal Charles ... I'm getting excited.

woo hoo ... our QB is bottom 3rd!!

PBJ

This team is going to surprise some folks this year

Sanchez, Freeman and Bradford are soooooooo awesome. Two-three years ago people slobberd on those nuts.

Just being competent would be a surprise.

Jaws still went about balls deep on Marky Baywatch

i'm hoping that decent coaching really turns it around.

Nobody in this league can overcome 3-4 turnovers a game. We have the best coaching and talent in this division pretty easily right now. Unfortunately the Doncos own a chemically enhanced superior QB by far.

Marky could be saved, he's only like 25. But the cost of keeping him around until his brain unfreezes. If it unfreezes is just too much.

I think most of the reasonable guys who are anti-Alex Smith trade have a stance that is different than this.

Basically, that a shot a mediocrity with Alex Smith in 2013 and 2014 is less desirable than taking a shot with a QB who can potentially be better than 15-22nd best in the NFL.

Disliking the price given up for Alex Smith is not just about passing on a QB in Rnds. 1, 2, 3 in this year's draft. It's also about how much more difficult it will make it to acquire a QB early in next year's draft.

Not in position to take the guy you want because your team went 7-9 or 8-8, Andy Reid? Good luck moving up for that QB without your 2nd/3rd round pick.

That's not to mention the fear the Chiefs will commit to Alex Smith long-term before he proves he can be more than an average game manager that can't win playoff games (unless he's playing the 31st D in the NFL).

Those guys are few and far between on here.

The problem with Cam Newton is the lack of maturity and leadership.
