He's playing far better than Flacco or Ryan, just to name some of these gunslingers.

Matt Ryan is completing 70 percent of his passes, has thrown 14 TD passes and 7 INTs. He's playing at a much higher level than Alex Smith, and there's no debate about it. Joe Flacco and Alex Smith have basically identical stats (though Flacco is superior in completion percentage, TDs, YPA).
"Playing far better?" Not even close.
I would have gladly taken signing someone like Jason Campbell and surrendering NO picks over trading picks for Alex Smith.
If you're bringing in a stop-gap, bring in a stop-gap. With this year's second-round pick, the Chiefs could have taken a potential QBotF in Geno Smith to sit behind the stop-gap they brought in or a WR like Robert Woods.
