3. The acolytes of the Cult of Geno on here would be ecstatic if somehow we traded Albert for pick #54 and landed Geno even though we failed to draft a 1st round QB.

This is all about drafting Geno and Geno alone in round 1. Anything else is unacceptable.
Great post...and I want Geno. I'm just not militant about it.

Not many who wanted Geno at 1 would have batted an eyelash at Barkley at 1. That's been part of the discussion for months.

And the NFL hasn't told anyone anything. Just because the QB didn't go in round one and isn't considered a day 1 starter all of a sudden means that they can't develop into one? Kaep, Wilson and Brees say otherwise.
I think the point is Geno was not worth a #1 pick and many wanted him with that pick.

But we have had 7 years to diagnose Alex, but General managers don't know anything.
Oh really? Then explain why the Niners' GM dumped Alex Smith ASAP this offseason. One of the league's smartest front offices couldn't wait to get rid of him.

Bullshit. People latched onto Geno's nuts because he's been widely considered the top QB available. That's it.

You're trying to lump years and years of a culture that's been brewing on CP in one offseason. These "Genoites" didn't just randomly form an opinion because of Geno Smith. If you think that, then you haven't been paying attention to Chiefsplanet over the last 5 years.

Not even Tony Romo? Peyton Manning?

So lets get it out there then, you do infact think Alex Smith is good enough to not waste the next 2 years of our skill players careers by taking them deep into th eplayoffs?

These guys want to MAKE it argument. There may have been 2-3 guys that would've bitched about Barkley at one.

Because no one here is arguing Alex is better than CK and you dont pay your back up QB $7MM+ a year when you can get a high2nd round pick for him, are you brainless?

Right before every pick was announced, I would stand up and straighten out my sweatshirt and look toward the stage. I might even walk up and stand at the edge of it, staring at Goodell, or perhaps stay at my table but get down in a sprinter's starting stance.

Seriously, he is missing a golden opportunity to become a cultural phenomenon. Everyone loves people who can laugh in the face of misfortune. If he goes home, he becomes a crybaby. He should embrace what's happening like the Mr. Irrelevant players do.

I have never strayed from saying I think Alex Smith can win playoff games here.

I also want another guy to develop. Not at 1.1 though.

It is a bit funny that we've already deemed the Alex Smith trade a bust before he even plays a down for Andy Reid.

Oh well.
Well, we do infact know what Alex Smith is up to this point, but he's never been in a pass first happy offense.


People use history that when he's been forced to throw it around, he hasn't been as successful as foresight that he won't be when he's constantly asked to do it here.

Because Alex had trade value and also mutual respect from the front office. They had dinner with Alex and he had the opportunity to say where he wanted to go and they obliged. But most of all trade value, as you can see with the 34th pick.

I am not laughing, this insanity is no longer funny. But there are enough fans that say "whatever the GM decides is good by me" and we will be fine. I used to be one of those guys. Not anymore, Alex Smith was the straw.

If he wasn't a Chief, would you think the same?
