You're delusional.
Smith is a middle of the road journeyman at this point in his career, but he was by far the best option available. You guys really think nobody else wanted him? You're nuts.

So why give up two second-round picks (that's what it will end up being... KC will game-manage its way to enough wins this year to do it) for a guy who is a journeyman/game manager?
Trading for Alex Smith over trading for Flynn/signing Jason Campbell or Matt Moore/etc. is worth how many more wins this season? 1? 2? It's the difference between being 6-10 and 8-8? Whoop-de-freaking-do.
It's a short-sighted move unless Alex Smith transforms into a top 10 QB who leads his team to victory THROWING the football with consistency. A guy who can win playoff games and put his team on his back. An elite (or at least near-elite) QB.
But hey, at least it will make the true fans and t-shirt fans happy, and Arrowhead will sell out again. So Clark Hunt will make money, which is nice...
