The best case scenario, IMO, is that Dorsey and Reid already know Smith is a stop gap, giving him the benefit of the doubt, but are ready to the pull the trigger on a first rounder or a better FA if needed. Dorsey, of course, comes from a franchise that obviously gets it... the Packers have drafted more QBs in the first 3 rounds in the past 20 years, even though they've basically only started two in the time frame (the Chiefs -- 1  ). And I know people say "there's no Andrew Luck this year!" or there are no guarantees, but I want them to TRY. Just TRY for the first time in 30 years (well, 2nd if you really want to include Croyle).
Of course, that doesn't mean they should have drafted one simply due to the history of the Chiefs... while it was certainly frustrating and reeked of what we've seen in the past, and it's frustrating to have to say "well, maybe THIS regime has a better plan" (again), maybe they do, and all we can do is give them the benefit of the doubt until they prove us right or wrong. |
Most likely unless in year 2 he starts catching fire.
Look at his statline against I think Green Bay last year or his last game before he got injured. If he put up numbers like that or a bit lower I could see them justifying him sticking around, but I don't think that is likely to be how it works out.
Andy seems to love getting a chance to groom Bray and if he can get Bray to understand the mental aspect and footwork Smith has got, he's gonna be one giddy head coach with a shiny new badass toy at QB.
