I like the idea of bringing in the best possible guy to win for the next 2 years (and that's unquestionably Alex, IMO) while also trying to get a high-end developmental QB in Bray.
I would've loved to move back into the 2nd to grab Geno, but we didn't. Getting Smith and going forward with Bray as the 'new hotness' is my 2nd favorite option.
At some point I have to excuse these guys for not doing exactly what I'd have done and acknowledge that I do like what they did do. Demanding that a regime do things exactly as you'd have done them is just unfair.
The path they chose capitalizes on the primes of some excellent players while also giving us some nice options for the future. I can live with that.

See folks, this is what it looks like when one is highly reasonable and rational... a damn fine post, others would do well to draw lessons from it.
