Alex Smith is somewhere between the 15th and 20th best QB in the NFL. Even after his last two seasons. He's still a game manager. The difference between Smith and someone like the 20th to 25th best QB managing games for you is what?
1 game? 2 games? MAYBE 3 games?
So a team that would go 6-10 with Carson Palmer goes 9-7 with Alex Smith instead? Best case scenario?
What is there to be excited about there? What is there to say "Yes, it was worth trading two second-round picks for this guy"?
More money in Clark's pocket, and that's about it.

I hate that this is true, but you have to get the true fans back in order to bring Arrowhead back. Because Arrowhead is a competitive advantage that we've lost. Again, I hate that we gave up too much for him, but as long as this is a stopgap (and not a long-term solution) then I really don't care too much about picks we gave up.
