Yep, Alex Smith is here to stay.
 

Hard to swallow.


What a horrible draft. Glad I didn't stick around for the whole thing. I would have wasted valuable time. Reid is a complete moron. Never go all in on a guy like Alex Smith. Your offseason is a complete joke.

That's all

You said swallow.

They almost look like they didn't take a QB to avoid upsetting Alex.

this.


sad

Wouldn't want to shatter his confidence.

Annoyed at the lack of QB in this draft, but I'll take a wait and see approach. I'd be surprised if Foles remains an Eagle for long.

I understand Bray, they think he's stupid but none at all?

Which was pretty much the Matt Cassel plan. Awesome.

Why would you pick a QB when you have the All-Star crew of Alex Smith, Chase Daniel, and Ricky Stanzi?

Commitment to suck.

News flash: We will have a first round pick next year too.

All of you are straight up stupid as HELL!

Trading for ALex Smith wasnt a bad idea. Giving up the #34 and next years 2nd was.

I don't think that was ever in any question. People were paying too much attention to the fact that he hasn't been extended yet, and not enough to the insane draft pick compensation we gave up for him. He's always been the long-term plan.

News flash: We will pass on drafting a QB high next year too.

Well they did give up a lot. You do realize the #34 pick is as close to a 1st rd pick as you can get. and of course next years 2nd.

The last thing Dorsey wants is some mid to late rd rookie QB hot on the heels of the guy you just gave up two 2nd rd picks for. I think getting Chase Daniels squashed any intention of drafting a QB.

I still cant believe we gave up essentially a 1 and a 2 for Alex ****ing Smith. Jesus Tap-Dancing Christ we are dumb.

But not a 2nd round pick.

Stanzi will be replaced by Foles.

The guy's gonna be in KC for the next 4-5 years. At least.

We don't know what we don't have next year. It's either a 3rd or a 2nd.

I'll laugh if the condition is making the playoffs and the Chiefs make the wildcard and get blown up by the Broncos or some other team with a competent QB.

He'll be here long enough to get Reid and Dorsey fired. It's an exact repeat from the last regime and will have the same results. But at least the beer and ticket prices will have gone up substantially by then to pay for all the mediocre free agents that were signed.

News flash: Haven't played a game with Alex Smith yet and already you guys sound like a prude bitch. What kind of draft were you expecting with this horrid draft class?

Fat ass Andy will not be here long :doh!:

They may as well go ahead and announce the 5yr, $70M contract extension now.

This
:deevee:

So you're saying we don't have draft picks anymore?

No, what he's saying is you're a goddamn drooling reerun that should kill himself.

Or that this group of QBs was just god awful.

I don't like Alex Smith as our QBOTF. But I also understand this is the worst QB class in recent memory. I'll give the regime 2-3 years to show us the solution (and I hope to God it's not Alex Smith).

The guy is on a 2-year contract.

our best hope is that Alex Smith gets benched and Chase Daniel becomes awesome.

You don't give two seconds to a guy a year away from his walk year. If this team ends up around .500 he's getting a Ryan Fitzpatrick level deal.

This QB draft class is so unbelievably bad that teams with established top of the league QBs like the Steelers, Giants, and Chargers decided to take a chance on them.

Alex will be the starter as long as Reid is here, unless he dies or is so injured he retires.

Reid loves Alex like Peeoli loved Cassel. The fact that Reid has admitted to an admiration of Alex even when he was a bust should be all you need to know, sadly. The fact that they are both Mormons apparently is just icing on the cake.

KC ain't taking another "legitimate" QB until Alex is injured badly, sh*ts the bed, retires, or Reid is fired.

Give me a break. They didn't take a chance on a QB. The 4th round is a terrific place to take a backup and they got a GREAT QB value at that point in the draft. If we're talking about guys we want to start tomorrow and be our 10-year franchise QB, yeah I wanted a QB, but I'm not going to get butthurt because we didn't take a 3rd day QB.

Am I concerned? Of course I am. I don't like Alex Smith. But I'm also not going to overrate the value of a 3rd day QB.

in 4-5 years the next rebuild will actually be a rebuild because every foundation piece on this team will be passed their prime

so we might get a full overhaul next time instead of this patchwork rebuild we are getting with drafting role players and signing FA veterans. But it's a long wait until then.

compared to a year ago at this time...the chiefs are on a major roll....sadly, some people are too stupid to see the amount of progress since then.

That was said about Cassel too. Well guess what? You follow the predecessors formula, and guess what's coming your way; the predecessors results. With one very notable exception; Alice isn't NEARLY as indestructible as Cassel. Not by a ****ing longshot. You'll soon be joining me in a few soulful lines of "Smooth the Hell Out". I guaran****ingtee it.

God, if this team doesn't come around we will have completely pissed away some pretty good players.


Sigh.

I'll believe Alex Smith is their long-term answer when I see it.

What I believe is that Andy Reid is going to open up the offense, he's going to throw a ton, and he's going to want to go vertical. Alex Smith isn't going to be asked to be a game manager. He'll either sink or swim. I think he'll sink and that we have enough quality QB coaches who will understand what we have. I also think almost every QB in this class (possibly all of them) will never amount to anything but an Alex Smith level starter at best. It was just a terrible year to be in the QB market.

Compared to a year ago...

Back when the Chiefs were expected to win the AFC West and people were actually giving Pioli some love for what he did in FA and the draft.

In hindsight...

Still don'g get the Alex Smith hating. The dude hasn't even played a down for the Chiefs. Guys think they know whats coming. ****ing ignorant.

Ya... He's a complete unknown.

This. Shame we wasted Herm's best picks on this ****ing garbage. I was really looking forward to Bowe finally breaking out with a legit QB. Oh well, at least the man soldiered and got paid. I was never excited about Reid and the draft has only reinforced the stone-cold truth that time and the game have passed him by.

I get it. He's an average QB, period. He's a good stopgap, nothing more.

I am concerned. Where I don't get is the overreaction when we're passing up QBs, even in the 6th or 7th rounds.

So we take a guy like Sanchez and you're okay with it because he hasn't took one snap for the Chiefs?

You have no business calling anyone on this board ignorant.

Wait, Simplicity can call Tuckdaddy ignorant. But no one else.

Go **** your mother in the ass with an AIDS condom.

I'm not a fan of this draft either.

Sure we may make "progress" by winning an extra 4-5 games this year...which still puts us at a 7 win and very mediocre football team.

Yea, Go Chiefs!

It's pretty clear at this point that Alex was the best move we could have made unless we were going to hope for another 2-14 season next year. As long as they don't give him an extension before he shows that he doesn't suck, I'm fine with it.

No, he's been in the league for 8 years and has proven that's he's nothing more than a mediocre QB. We've had plenty of time to watch him suck and know what is coming.

He hasn't showed he sucks already?

Cassel played 1 year, and it was a decent year before being traded to the Chiefs. He was fairly unknown.

Alex Smith on the other hand has been in the league for 8 years and hasn't done shit.

Damn, and I was hoping we'd be the first team to ever go from 2-14 to Super Bowl winner in a year.

**** you in the eye with pig's dick. That's about the only response that mentality deserves anymore.

Oh, and this guy too.

Andy Reid made Kolb look like a rockstar. What can he do with A. Smith? Unknown.

Look at you being all reasonable and shit. Get your ass out here on the ledge with the rest of us.

You're right. Alex Smith hasn't unleashed his potential yet. Needs more time.

i hope to **** that Nick Foles is a casualty of numbers in Philly and we pick him up

Andy and the OC love Foles and thats the closest thing we can get to a young QB and someone better than Alex Smith

This shouldn't surprise you, the moment Glazer broke the trade story on NFL network he flat out said Andy Reid loves Alex Smith and they wouldn't draft a QB because Reid didn't want Smith to have another Kaepernick situation. Reid loves Smith as the franchise guy.

It's gotten tiring trying to talk people back off the ledge the past few months. At this point, I'm just kind of hoping you all either start jumping or give up acting like it.

Again, I'm not crazy about Foles, but I don't think he's any more or less of a prospect than the guys we passed on the third day. So I'm okay with this as well. And I don't care if it takes a third day to take him, because that's what we would have burned to bring in a guy like Tyler Wilson.

Come on guys, being optimistic in the off season is the only thing we have.

when is the last time we didn't take a QB to avoid upsetting our current starter? :hmmm:

Alex Smith is not a Mormon. He was born is Seattle, grew up in San Diego, and went to the non-affiliated school in Utah. He lived in Utah for two school seasons as an athlete. He has been confirmed not to be Mormon by others.

I grew up in Utah and have seen articles in the past stating that he wasn't. I'm not a Mormon either. I'm new here so I'm not allowed to post links and don't want to go around the rule by adding spaces or anything to hide them. Look it up, it's out there.

This is just speculation by some, most of whom don't like Alex Smith as their QB. I wouldn't take this as a hurts feelings things on just that. They did sign Bray to a low contract undrafted, but I've heard that was just to piss of Miami for offering so little for Albert. Miami was reported to have reached an agreement with them.

Monkey poop.

No no! You have it all wrong, now look, if you just surround Alex with a solid line and a few playmakers, then....

this is a place, where joy and optimism, come to die. Some of you just need to get laid, or go for a run. Release some aggression....

Considering how stacked next year's draft looks (Clowney, Bridgewater, and Manziel in the top 3 alone places it over this year's) that's not exactly a horrible fate. Hell, I would love it if the Chargers went 0-16 this year to guarantee Clowney coming to San Diego.

The type of crushing mediocrity that Alex Smith provides has a way of killing joy and optimism.

yeah, i could see how another year of watching Matt Cassell, and Brady Quinn would of been much more exciting, than watching a guy who knows his role, plays it well, and wins. I wouldnt talk bolt boy, you are now the laughing stock of the league with your draft pick of Teo.

I disagree.

It's Clark you should be mad at. IMO, he told Andy to win and win now and when they looked at things and in their opinion didn't feel anyone in the draft could do that immediately they went with Alex.

As far as the rest of the off season, they have built this offense around the QB to use his skill set (or lack thereof). OL, TE, more depth @ RB/FB. One WR in Avery to try and stretch the D.

This is how Reid thinks he can be most competitive and win now. Is it gonna bring a SB win to KC? I doubt it. But like I've said before, I don't have the blinders on with Andy. I think he can rebuild, make the Chiefs competitive again and then I'm hoping in 3-5 years a young up and coming assistant takes over and between him and Dorsey make the changes to a more new age "wave" NFL team.

ROFL ROFL ROFL

The Chargers were already a laughingstock before Te'o.

hey boss. Tell me something. IN the last two years, who has a better winning record.....Phillip Rivers, or Alex Smith?

Who had the better coaching and supporting cast the last two years: Philip Rivers, or Alex Smith?

Who's been benched for Shaun Hill, David Carr, Troy Smith, J.T. O'Sullivan, and Colin Kaepernick: Philip Rivers, or Alex Smith?

Who has an atrocious 2-27-1 record in games where the other team scores 24+ points: Philip Rivers, or Alex Smith?

I like when you debate with an Alex Smith supporter the first 6 years don't count, but suddenly when all the pieces are in place the last 1.5 seasons in his career are the only ones that count. Let's not rule out that for years he faced the weakest division in the entire NFL.

It's really hard handing the ball off to Frank Gore isn't it Smith Fan?

Hi! Welcome to Kansas City Chiefs football!
