Spin it, massage it, tweak it all you want. The Chiefs would be acquiring a descending player to be their starter. That's a fact.

He's 29 when the season starts. QBs maintain their peak levels through about 33 so that's about 5 years of Smith being as good as he's going to be. He's not descending, he just is what he is. The problem with Matt Cassel was not that he was 'old', it was that he was shitty. Alex Smith, over his last 40 games as a starter in this league, has been at worst an adequate NFL quarterback. There's no reason to believe that his next 5 seasons in this league will be any different. You're not making any sense at all.
