Green was good for a few years, and it got us a 13-3, divisional round exit again, so if you liked that era, that move could be defined as "benefited the team", especially since the guy the Lambs took with that pick became a bust I believe. Still, we didn't win any playoff games and had a horrid defense, so I wasn't a fan of that regime...

So if the defense could have made the Colts punt just one time, you would have liked the Trent Green era?
I can see Smith taking on a Trent Green role, accurate and quick short-medium passer, excellent in play action, and decent game awareness. The problem for the Chiefs was they they did nothing to develop a long-term QB solution during the Trent Green era.
