You play to win the game. Hello?
The Chiefs front office has put together the best possible team for 2013, and that is all you can ask for as fans. You can't predict what QB will be the next Manning, Luck, etc - and then tank the season for them. That mentality is for losers. I've watched every snap of the Chiefs pre-season games, and you guys have a lot to be hopeful about. Smith is not going to light up the scoreboard with top 5 QB stats, but he'll be efficient, smart, make plays when he needs to, and not turn the ball over. 9-12 wins is entirely possible.
And as we saw last year, even a mediocre QB can get hot and carry his team to a Super Bowl win. Shit, even Eli Manning has done that - TWICE. There is absolutely no reason that a QB like Smith couldn't string together some nice performances in the playoffs and bring a Super Bowl trophy to Kansas City. He did it against the Saints, and save two Kyle Williams fumbles and a BS non-fumble call on Bradshaw, and he'd have been in the Super Bowl too.
Rally around your QB, have some faith, and just be a FAN. If he sucks, then the organization will go a different direction. Or maybe "I told you so" is more important...

Lol, I want the Chiefs to play for Championships, Superbowls, Lombardi's. 8 win seasons to me are like 0 win seasons, it's the, 'if you aren't first, you're last' mentality. But hey man, if you love your mediocrity and are really ****ing stoked about our 43+ year drought with no Superbowl appearances, then keep up your patronage for band-aid fixer upper Qb's and maybe, MAYBE, a 10 win season before we get road stomped by a team with a much better Qb. Welcome to reality of the modern NFL, where the teams that win it all have premiere playmakers at Qb who can throw 35+ td's any given season and can make all the throws. Qb's without limitations, unlike AS.
