What you're doing now is using hindsight to make rash QB judgments. That's why you're spewing garbage like, "I would rather have Brad Johnson in the middle of his career than Jim Kelly as a rookie."

Um, I didn't say that at all lol.
What I'm asking is, if you had the choice between two versions of Alex Smith.
1. being a Jim Kelly type championship run where we're winning ~10 games a season, we're in the playoffs, nay, the AFC Championship or even super bowl, and statistically is he is a top 5 guy
or.
2. A mediocre string of seasons where we're close to .500, winning 8 or 9 games a season with a top 12-16ish statline, but ONE year of solid gold performance and a super bowl victory.
Which would you take?
I'm not saying these are the only options, nor that this is what will happen.
I'm simply curious, would the fanbase take 6 seasons of disappointing championship game losses and/or super bowl losses, or would they take 5 seasons of mediocre play, and one super bowl victory?
I'm inclined to believe the fanbase would be split close to 50/50 here. Some just want to know what it is like to root for a team to win the super bowl, some might want to know what it is like to just win, win, win, but never win the big one.
