Chiefs Press conference - Page 9

In58men · 04:40 PM

@ArrowheadAddict: Dorsey: We feel very fortunate that Alex will be a member of the Chiefs franchise for years to come.

@ArrowheadAddict: Dorsey: Since the beginning of this process, we've always had our eye on Alex.

@ArrowheadAddict: Smith: I'm ready for this.

@ArrowheadAddict: Smith: I can't say how excited I am for it. Thankful for the opportunity.

I Agree with this tweet:

@Lance_THESPOKEN: Dorsey said the reason they signed Alex is because quote "He's shown he can play football at a very high level." WHEN????? #Chiefs

THE BEST ONE OF THEM ALL:

@Lance_THESPOKEN: Yes, Andy Reid just said they're gonna "work on getting Alex Smith in the Hall of Fame." Take it as you will, I didn't make it up. #Chiefs

They're already sold on Smith, way to keep your options open dick suckers:

@APdaveskretta: Andy Reid: "I'm going to tell you every position we try to create competition ... but I'll tell you, Alex is the starting QB" #Chiefs

Let me know when he's gone, I'm done with this shit organization.

@DannyParkins: Talked to #Chiefs GM John Dorsey away from the media and he says it's absolutely fair to say they view Alex Smith as longterm answer at QB.

You're conveniently ignoring the "head" part of head coach. The difference in experience between Todd Haley and Andy Reid is greater than the difference in experience between Alex Smith and Matt Cassel.

Who? Uhm....Brandon Flowers, Derrick Johnson & Tamba Hali?

Yeah, Pioli bargained shopped.....that's what Dorsey is doing now....Picking up 2nd tier F/A. Don't get me wrong, i don't mind the signings that he has made....but make no mistake....these are 2nd/3rd tier Quality guys.

Yeah, i conveniently left out some details....but so did you....so what.

Watch out. It's OK to compare Mike DeVito to a washed up Kelly Gregg even though they play different positions, but it's not OK to compare Geno Smith to any failed black QB, no matter how many non-racial similarities there are. It's safer to stick with comparisons to Tim Couch, David Carr, and Ryan Leaf.

Derrick Johnson, Brandon Flowers, Tamba Hali and Jamaal Charles.

This.

Hope.

Sure, he may turn out to be another JaMarcus Russell.

Sadly, we already know that Alex Smith is.

BINGO

The decision to trade for Alex Smith has set the franchise back at least 5 years. 7-8 more considering the team will need to replace every player worth a damn already on the roster.

This is fairly simple. Reid and Dorsey see something in Alex Smith that a lot of people here do not. We'll see who's right this year.

No team is ever set back 5 or more years unless they draft poorly over and over. The NFl is built to never be bad for long unless you almost try to be bad.

This. Or he could end up being benched 4 times in his career like Alex Smith for subpar QBs like Trent Dilfer, JT Osullivan, and Sean Hill.

Good thing we traded for Ale...

****!

wth are you even talking about.

No one here KNOWS Geno Smith, or even acts like they KNOW Geno Smith is going to be a stud. If that's what you think, then the point has completely sailed over your head.

Whooooosh! Look up, because the point is somewhere way up there.

FWIW

Interesting.

I totally agree.

While we're at it, we should ignore that the Niners tried to replace him with Peyton Manning, when that didn't happen, they drafted his replacement, and within a season and a half, had lost his job to a 2nd year player.

They've been dying to get rid of the guy for years.

The way that everyone was trying to get rid of Rich Gannon? Give the guy a chance

There's a difference between big name guys and top tier guys. No matter what tier these guys are coming from, they aren't bargains. You don't find bargains on day 1 of free agency. That's why Pioli didn't aggressively pursue free agents on day 1. He waited until he could pick over the crumbs later in the process. That's the difference I pointed out. A pretty big difference, IMO.

No, I didn't leave out any detail. You asked for differences and I gave them to you. In your effort to refute so you can maintain your self-delusion about how similar the two regimes have been, you disingenuously ignored the actual difference I pointed out.

Said every Coach who came to SF during Smith's tenure.

Regime Killer. We're replacing one with another.

Exactly.

Geno + Andy Reid = 50% chance at franchise QB for 15 years.

I'd take that in a heartbeat.
