Yep, Alex Smith is here to stay.

Did you guys think they traded two second round picks for him so he could QB this team for only one year?

This isn't rocket science. Reid/Dorsey believe in him.

Yes, I think it's possible. Dorsey has an interview where he says pretty directly that he doesn't throw the best deep ball and has a strength mostly on the short and short-intermediate stuff. I don't think Dorsey is clueless about his value, and we all know Reid likes to go vertical.

I think it's absolutely possible that the Chiefs had a directive by Clark Hunt that they need to start winning to get fans excited about the team again. I will give it a year or two to see where this goes. What I do feel pretty sure about is that Reid isn't going to play the game of protecting Alex Smith with his offense. Smith will have to pass a lot so he's not going to skate by with a conservative approach.
