Would be nice if Bray could push Alex for starter next year

It's only when he was a turnover machine in 2012 when he lost the trust of even the true fans.

How can you people sit at home and watch elite QB's dominate the league and go to the playoffs year after year and NOT want that?

Alex Smith is not an Elite QB, and he never will be. He is a decent stop gap until this team finds a QB with potential to plug in and give it a go.
I want Alex Smith to succeed as much as anyone... that way we can spend draft picks on other positions and start stacking depth, but after a long career in the league and still no signs of being more than just mediocre, it is what it is.

Consider the list of starting QBs for KC;
Smith
Cassel
Huard
Croyle
Green
Grbac
Bono
Montana
Krieg
DeBerg
Blackledge
Kenny
Fuller

Outside of Green & Montana that's a 1,000 foot tire fire at the most important position on the field. KC fans have been beaten down to ensure that our expectations at the QB position is so low that a average, game manager QB seems like the next comming.
