Kyle Orton is cheap and has a strong arm. Alex Smith is expensive with a noodle arm.

His arm strength is not great, but it's certainly not a noodle arm. It's definitely more than good enough to run a WCO. Reid had success in the playoffs with Jeff Garcia and his noodle arm, Alex Smith is much better than that.

Kyle Orton is great between the 20s but not when it counts or under pressure.

So lets be clear, you want Alex Smith as your starter for the next 5 years?

That's exactly what I said. Face palm.

I said clear as day twice that I wouldn't trade picks for the guy or not draft a QB at #1 because of him... but if he was willing to come here in spite of that and risk being a backup, I would consider it, yes. The QB position on this team is an utter disaster and the rest of you are acting like Scott ***** by picking one guy and sticking to it. Dorsey should be doing everything in his power to improve all three spots at the position.

That's what I was pointing out, I like picking out irony. A 28 year old former #1 pick isn't good enough for us because we have the #1 pick, so nothing can go wrong for us now. If you can't pick out the irony in that statement I can't help you.

The other part is pointing out he wasn't good enough for Harbaugh. And you know why he wasn't good enough for Harbaugh? Because he doesn't play the *****-ego game and continues to improve every position regardless of who was picked when, and then plays the best players.

Alex Smith will not get 5 more years with any team to prove himself. But if you're asking me if I'd rather have him than Matt Cassel as the backup, then I would say yes.

If the Chiefs get Alex Smith he won't be a backup...that's what I'm telling you.

And Alex Smith is not better than Jeff Garcia. (When Garcia was Smiths age) I would actually compare Smith to Garcia.
