I think Alex Smith is a possibility no matter what coach we bring in, but I also firmly believe that the Chiefs will draft a QB, too. It might not be 1/1, though, and this will cause an immediate meltdown. But I could see Smith plus a QB in round 2, with an open competition in camp.
I could see this as being more a possibility, actually, if Gruden is hired because he had a reputation of being an insufferable SOB with rookie QBs. Has this changed? No clue. But he hosts QB Camp, an ESPN construction, so people believe he has.

I am intrigued by gruden because of his obsession with the spread. And because he has stated the importance of a qb. I just haven't seen enough evidence that cow her would not prefer to build a suffocating defense first, a power running game as the centerpiece of the offense, and then a qb who can win games in that context. Do I see him as a guy who would ever go pass first? I don't see it.
I'm not saying he hasn't changed. But right now that's been his history.
