The Chiefs have to try to find that elite QB. But they have to build their team as if they'll never find one. I said earlier in the year, I think Flacco and Eli are excellent QBs to have. It's what makes Big Ben great, and it will make Russell Wilson great. You know what these guys do? They make big throws in big situations. Alex Smith can do most of the things these guys do. Except that he doesn't deliver when it matters most. He doesn't have the killer instinct these guys have.

1. Uh, elite QBs do win championships. Brady, Brees, Peyton, Rodgers- all have won championships.
2. Peyton was let go.
3. Yes, the Chiefs do "have to try to find that elite QB". The problem that leads to the incessant complaining is that the Chiefs haven't tried to find an elite QB for 3 decades.
4. Alex Smith
can make plays; the complaint is that, as a rule,
he doesn't make plays.
In over 100 games he has like 5 where he throws for 300 yards.
He has never led a top ten offense in his 9 year caeer- actually, I don't think he has ever led a top 15 offense in his career.
In his best year, he threw only 23 touchdowns while his career average is less than 20 touchdowns per year.
He's pathetic, really.
