I don't really expect to see Bray ever start a game for the Chiefs, though. Alex Smith is only 29, and I think he will be fine if we can get the offensive line shored up. Not to mention the fact that Reid and Dorsey seem committed to him.
You guys may as well start getting used to Alex Smith.

Ya know, I understand liking Alex Smith as a person... he seems like a nice guy and a true professional... but I just can't fathom after all of these years as chiefs fans how some of you fans are completely in love with such a mediocre game manager QB. Matt Cassel was a mediocre game manager QB in 2009-2011 and most of the true fans were still supportive of him. It's only when he was a turnover machine in 2012 when he lost the trust of even the true fans.
How can you people sit at home and watch elite QB's dominate the league and go to the playoffs year after year and NOT want that?
Alex Smith is not an Elite QB, and he never will be. He is a decent stop gap until this team finds a QB with potential to plug in and give it a go.
I want Alex Smith to succeed as much as anyone... that way we can spend draft picks on other positions and start stacking depth, but after a long career in the league and still no signs of being more than just mediocre, it is what it is.
