It's the obsessive hatred that's ****ed up...Like it or not...Mahomes isn't a better QB than Smith right now. He's 21 years old...

The Chiefs in the 2007 and 2008 seasons were an abysmal trainwreck. The defense and offense each had one good player on each side and that was ****ing it-- Jared Allen and Tony Gonzalez. Hali was young, and Derrick Johnson appeared to be nothing more than a giant draft bust. Eddie Kennison retired and gave what tiny responsibilities he had to . The smoldering remnants that were worthwhile from that Vermeil offensive line were old men in the very twilight of their careers surrounded by human turnstiles like Jordan Black, Damien McIntosh, Rudy Niswanger, and Adrian Jones. LJ was "cak'n patna," and we even trotted out Priest Holmes, who was dangerously close to becoming ****ing paralyzed with his goddamn neck.
And in spite of that mayhem, Damon Huard was a QB who didn't make mistakes. He kept his INTs low, and he knew how to take a sack as good as Cassel or Smith-- people forget how good Huard was at taking sacks. He was a master.
The team won 6 games those two seasons combined. Damon Huard was the starting QB in 5 of them (started 13 games overall). The year before that (the Trent Green concussion year) Damon Huard went 5-3 for the 8-game stretch that he was the starter. He game managed well in spite of a mediocre defense and an insistence that their starting RB could do no wrong even as his YPC tanked that entire season.
By all accounts, Damon Huard played football Alex Smith style. And he won games with it. Had he been given Alex's defense and coaching staff, I imagine Huard could have amassed a pretty decent winning percentage in Kansas City.
Alex Smith is a more athletic Damon Huard. That's why people on this forum reject the notion that accepting a QB based solely on his record is good enough. Alex Smith is NOT good enough. Huard was Alex Smith. Bono was Alex Smith. DeBerg was Alex Smith.
Enough ****ing Alex Smiths. Thank God the end is finally coming in 2018. I can't ****ing wait.
