If we trade for Alex Smith and don't want Geno or Barkley at 1 I hope we trade back and draft Patterson from Tennessee.

For Chiefs fans that want Geno Smith, I wouldn't panic. I've dealt with Andy Reid for 14 years and one thing I can tell you with absolute certainty is no one knows what Reid is doing in the draft. Guys in Philadelphia that covered the team for decades couldn't even predict what he'd do.

Even one of the best insiders in the business in Adam Schefter said a few years ago that the Eagles traded up for Earl Thomas, and it was actually Brandon Graham. Just let it play out. Maybe the Chiefs will go after Alex Smith, but Reid usually keeps things tight-lipped and I would believe very little that comes out.

Which begs a question, could Matt Cassel have won a playoff game with last years or this years 9ers team?

I don't think so, but I'm not positive.

Thats not anything to do with Cassel, but that team is ****ing loaded.

We're pretty much locked in at 1 and we'll get ****ing ass holed if we trade down.

Yeah, Smith is not Cassel, I know he doesn't have much more than the last year and a half, to prove it, but we'd see immediately Smith is better. However, I just don't want to give up the pick.

Imagine that Kyle Williams doesn't fumble that punt in '11 and they get a FG to go to the SB to face the Pats.

Gotta wonder if that would have changed Alex Smith's reputation.

Him not going 1 for 13 on third down might have changed someones opinion.

the guys best 10 game sample of his career is averaging 170 yards per game with a super bowl caliber coach and super bowl type roster of talent

Imagine if shit didn't stink:hmmm:

If "better than Cassel" is the only criteria we're looking for, we're in for a long few years.

No Cassel had a fairly talented team around him this year. Regardless of the record. We should've won more games. **** we had to play it safe just to stay "in" games

Ya im waiting awhile before i really try to decipher these guys' words. (Reid and Dorsey). Just gota let it play out. They wont let us know what theyre really thinking anyways. So many smoke screens itll make your head spin:)

Him not shitting himself on 3rd down for an entire game would have done that as well. Somebody is going to win with a game manager again, but I will be damned if I want the Chiefs to try to be that team. Build a perfect team and put a guy in that doesn't lose you games, yeah been there, failed at that. The risk of starting a young QB is less, even if his chance of being great isn't a great percentage.

+1

I wouldn't suggest the QB search ends with Smith, and thankfully, Reid and Dorsey have a history of not being satisfied at the QB spot either, regardless of who they have.
