He'll "earn" his extension after the upcoming 8-8 season when Arrowhead sells out. Cant imagine their plan was to trade possibly 2 2nd round picks for a 2 year starter when you can easily get much better long term players with those picks. |

My wife is very excited about Alex Smith and the Chiefs draft.
She realizes this means I will not be giving a f*** about the season this year, and that makes me much more available to work around the house on Sundays this fall and winter. I can't let myself have any emotional investment in a team QBed by a slapdick game manager.

If they are expecting A Smith to throw more than 25 times a game then we are in trouble. The game is going get away from him. Teams are going T off on him. Probably best if we did do keep Brandon Albert and have Eric Fisher play RT.

I think its a fair and reasonable assumption to say Alex Smith has never had anyone to throw the ball to. These are just the WR that got in the games. I didnt even list the other scrubs. People forget how much this organization was in shambles when they drafted him. My god the head coach the year before was Dennis Freaking Erickson. |

You can make all the excuses you want, 8 years in the league means you are what you are. People can point to all the examples of guys who have been late bloomers, but that's the same thing as trying to find a tom brady in the sixth round. The Chiefs made a horrible choice in giving up this year's 34th pick. Forget about next year's pick for now. at 34 the only qb off the board was Manual. So if any of the other qbs in this draft play better than alex smith, Reid and Dorsey have failed, have set this franchise back years, and should be fired. I know it is a little soon, but why should we have to sit through another 4 years of this crap?

You guys crack me up.
Rather than judge Reid and Dorsey by their past bodies of work collectively, many of you feel it is more accurate to judge them according to Carl Peterson and Scott Pioli's bodies of work and claim," Same old, same old". The only thing that is the same is the red and gold. Reid does not saddle himself with crappy QB's. If Smith sucks, he'll see the bench quickly. If Daniels can't get it done, so will he. If Bray's lightbulb goes on, we'll see him asap. His history of more than a decade shows multiple examples of this. Reid is NOT going to turn into a "run, run, pass, punt" coach. He has always passed the ball from what others would call 'run formations'. He uses 'bunches' and two backs, one TE sets, 2 TE sets, and all sorts of things to create matchup problems for a defense. Charles and Davis will see a lot of action, both carrying and catching. This is also his history (see B. Westbrook). |

What exactly are their past bodies of work?
Reid hasn't done anything since McNabb. And what exactly did Dorsey do in GB? He was a scout and then became an assistant. There's nothing to suggest he was calling any shots. All we have to go by is what he's done in KC and the first thing he did was spend the #34 pick and a 2014 3rd/2nd on Alex Smith. |

"They didn't draft my QB a round and a half too early" derangement syndrome is strong here

Because that's what it took to get the best QB option available to start on day one.
These guys have no intention of acting like they're playing Madden ****ing football on franchise mode and tanking for a year to try and get a QB next year. They took the best option available to them. |

Other "hot commodity" QB's went for ****ing pennies. Dorsey got bent over a table and took it up his ass by an experienced GM. |

I had no voice in the GM search. I don't pretend to scout other teams front offices.
Dorsey was said to be one of the top candidates out there. Fine. But lets not pretend he was calling shots in GB and then praise him for what he did in GB and ignore his first order of business in KC. |
