When is the last time the Chiefs made a BALLS move of any kind?

BALLS is high risk, high reward. Trent Green might qualify in that is was moderately high risk at the time. It paid off on the Offensive side of the ball, but total incompetence on defense negated the move.

The other mark of a great trade (other than BALLSINESS) is getting the long end of the stick. I don't think we've scored high that regard, including the Alex Smith trade. Franchises aren't built on "that trade benefited both teams" they're built on "that team dominated the other team". We don't make the kind of trades that build dynasties, we make the kind of trades that turn disasters into workable (Jarred Allen, Matt Cassel, Alex Smith).

There is a lot of talent on this team at this exact moment, but it won't last long. Tamba is on the down side. Bowe, Flowers, Charles, DJ, and Albert are at their peaks and will be heading down soon. Houston, Berry, and Poe are on the up swing. We have some talented rookies and most of our other starters don't suck.

Strike now while the iron is hot

-or-

Chief's Nation burns.

In which direction does the Alex Smith trade tip the scales, in all honesty?
