If no draft picks are involved, does that change your opinion on bringing him in?

Draft pick, Smith, Stanzi(?) as your QB's in camp.

If a team will give Matt Flynn a multi-year deal, they'll give Smith a multi-year deal.

Hell, if it wasn't for Reid and Dorsey - if Scott ***** was still here - I would have bet money he'd be the starter in KC next year.

Heck, in the worst QB year I can remember, he found the best one. As Alex Smith goes, I don't expect him to sign a big deal here, if he wants that he can go elsewhere, but the people saying it'd be Cassel all over again are wrong.

Well, if you trust him so much with QB's, why not just draft another one in the 5 round?

You don't always have to get stupid people to agree with you guys.

You guys know your ****, and those who do this for a living (ie Reid and Dorsey) also tend to know their ****, too. The dumb****s on the radio aren't going to be making the decision.

Take solace in that fact. It's as simple as that.

We do.

Sometimes it's just hard not to stare at the car wreck as you drive by...

The Chiefs a signing a veteran, even if they draft Geno Smith. I don't want to trade for Smith, but if he's a FA, I like him more than Flynn I like him more than Kolb, I like him more than Vick. There's someone I like better, and that's Nick Foles, but that would have to be a trade, and he'd be more likely than Smith to be seen as the solution at QB, and no first round QB.

You don't Reid with QBs?

Yeah, I do.


So it makes no sense to throw assets at a guy when you can get one who will work the same with a later round pick.

I forgot to add the word trust. Thanks for overlooking that.

I find stupid to be thoroughly entertaining.

I know that is why I haven't listened in a while.
