If they swing and miss this year I'll forgive them...

At any pitch?

Wtf?

I'm willing to give Dorsey and Reid a 2nd QB and about the only veteran that comes to mind that needs to go is Hali and probably DJ. And you want to year it all down over Smith?

Despite some very mediocre drafts the last 4 years this team actually has a good amount of talent.

Even without DJ, Houston, Charles, and most of our D line we were a playoff team.

I don't want excuses.

I want a front office that finds that guy...

More like 50/50 for one bona fide franchise QB per draft, over the past decade or so.

But I agree that a front office with the acumen to find and acquire one is mandatory.

If Dorsey and Reid missed on Alex like CP seems to think, there's no reason for 2nd chances.

Dorsey I waver on.

Reid, I appreciate his ineffable bond with his players that make them work hard, but nothing about his gameplanning or in-game decision making endears me to him anyway.

Swing away...

I don't think they missed - I think they got exactly what they wanted.

Where I think they missed was drafting behind that spanner.

Reid needs to be a HC and let someone else be OC.

He's a fantastic HC and a piss-poor OC...

I don't really think they missed on Alex Smith. They came into a situation where fans were literally boycotting the team. They needed something to get out of the black hole and that's what they got. Now it's time to go get something bigger and better.

Since 2013 the Chiefs have drafted 3 all pro's. That's the most of any franchise in the league. That's not mediocre.

We are boom or bust in the draft and we got a floater over the plate with Peters...

Wouldn't acquiring talent mean the drafts weren't in fact mediocre?

And that's in the context of picks traded away or taken away. We are loaded with picks this draft, can't ****ing wait.

Exactly.

Alex has got us to the playoffs 3 out of 4 years and got us our first playoff win in how long? Considering how bad we were on offense and the QB position before he got here he's certainly been a decent upgrade and a step in the right direction. No SB or AFCCG so he hasn't done great but certainly not bad.

So they haven't missed on anything. They never claimed he was an elite QB or one of the GOATs. I don't know what some of you guys were expecting.

We can win with this guy until we find someone better so there's nothing to be worried about with the QB position IMO.

And a double digit sack artist/elite pass protecting G in the the draft we didn't have an all pro
