Anyone who isn't objective enough to understand that Smith and the rest of the offensive unit is operating out of a completely new system, the tight end group is two dudes off the street, the wide receivers have shit for hands and the offensive line is very young and isn't playing well, which results in a lack of cohesion and chemistry which subsequently results in less overall positive production but is still yielding a perfect record so far into the season but still wants to criticize the quarterback specifically as the sole reason why the offense is not performing to the same level as the 2000 Rams or 1998 Vikings needs
their head checked.
Reid has already spoke glowingly about Smith leadership skills, huddle presence and capabilities as a QB and specifically stated that the offense and
Reid himself needs to get better in order to help his QB perform better.
This is a team in it's infancy, with all parts learning on a daily basis how to get better as a whole. There is no way on God's green earth that they are bringing in a quarterback controversy potential after a single season. You are freaking absolute nuts if you think that is even the most distant and remote of possibilities.
The only guy that's getting replaced as a QB on this roster over the next two to three years is Bray as the third team "young dude, let's try to groom this guy and see what we've got" QB option. And that's only if he's viewed as a complete basketcase.
All of you "We need a first round, home grown QB that the Chiefs picked for themselves!!!" guys should think about taking a sabbatical because it's not going to happen for a while. If you can't get it out of your system, I might suggest getting a little more acquainted with a team like the Texans, the Cardinals, the Browns, the Jaguars, the Vikings, the Patriots, the Giants or the Redskins, as all of those teams are far closer to needing a new starting QB than the Chiefs. (And, amazingly enough, several of those teams have spent very recent first round picks on a QB, but yet, oddly enough, they will be most likely looking at doing it again. Weird, huh?)
