Houston or Smith?
 

Who gets the contract first? And, who would you prefer gets the contract first if at all?

Houston. Smith can go jump in the Missouri River as far as I'm concerned.

I hope we pay Houston before anyone else.

Make both play under current contracts.

This...

Houston, IMO should get paid first

This is InMen level Dumbassery.

Houston.

I still prefer to have Smith play this season out before paying him.

Wow, tough decision.

The 25 year old elite pass rusher, or the 30 year old middling QB.

FYP

Yes because throwing the bank at a QB with the easiest schedule says everything. Oh who's winning the poll dip shit?

Read my post you ****ing reeruned chimp.

Obvious troll is obvious

Houston should get paid first. For some reason I don't believe that's going to happen though, so voting for Smith based on expectation of preference.

I did and you're still a ****ing idiot.

Unfortunately neither can hit Cyrus Gray on a wheel route.

Reading comprehension fail.

It's a boring day. Might as well stir it a bit.

FTR, I'd prefer to sign Houston and franchise Smith next year while drafting a QB in round 1.

I have a dream...

The salary scale has already shot to the moon for QBs. Might as well just let Smith play on his current salary this year. If he can duplicate the 2nd half of last year with the a harder schedule and the same or less talent then he earns a new contract. If he doesn't then he loses leverage for a high contract.

Houston is holding out so we probably don't have much choice. If Bowe can bend Dorsey over the way he did, it's going in dry with Houston. Highest paid defender in the history of the NFL type dry.

I'm fine with that. This defense is total ass without him in there...

dumbass

I say pay Houston, let a Smith play out this year unless you can get him at a lower price then franchise him next year and possibly the next dep on where we are qb wise then.

It's pretty obvious that both sides have gone cold.

Smith will be first. Houston should be.

Milkman hacked Sauto's account.

You're pretty much always fine with paying the players whatever they want.

iirc you were one of the people who said 'just pay bowe and get it done'

now we have people saying we couldn't be active in FA because we are in salary cap hell

You can't just back the truck up without it causing problems

The only reason Bowe isn't worth the money is because he isn't thrown the ball. When he is you see performances like the playoff game.

Elite players cost elite money. No matter the position.

I don't agree with paying Smith reeruned money just because he's a QB (like some here do.)

We aren't in cap hell. We were up against the cap for stupid signings and none of our draft picks from last year working out.

But he's better than Matt Cassel and is the best Chief QB since Trent Green. Obviously, we should pay him twice what we payed both Cassel AND Green, and keep him on the roster until he's old and grey/ Bleacher Report fan.

So, Smith?

LMAO

Sadly, that's probably exactly what will happen.

Yes Houston needs a new deal a should be paid, be he's the one who skipped the off season program. Guess what? He moved himself into the second slot of who gets paid.

It's a QB driven league.
Who cares if Smith hasn't yet gotten more than his learner's permit?

Regardless of how it all goes down, I bet Smith will be less of a distraction and wont let effect his play...

You really are a dipshit, BCD is right.

I'm paying Houston first.

The defense is predicated on the pass rush.

Smith played well down the stretch. I'd be happy with that level of QB play, but is it irreplaceable? I don't think so.

I don't think his contract will effect his play.

I do think having 3 matadors blocking for him will...

/truefanssticktogether

well that's all we did this offseason, so it better work the **** out

I don't know much about Houstons temperament, but I'd have to say pay the young guy now to avoid any potential problems aka holdouts, bad attitudes etc.

Say "show me some more this year, Alex" and let him come into the season with a chip on his shoulder... if he kicks ass then pony up a bit.

Houston should absolutely make the Chiefs overpay for his services because of how much playing in KC has already cost him in terms of lost endorsement money.

Once Clark balks at what should be his market value then it should be very obvious what the Chiefs' main priority is.

Spoiler alert: it's not winning championships.

If it were up to me, Houston would get paid, Smith would get replaced.

Which of the two actually performed at a high level in the playoff game? Smith.

The real answer is to extend both asap.

I like where ugly our heads at!

Yup

Houston is beastin it.

Alex Smith is JAG

Are you talking about that TV show that nobody gave a shit about and wasn't ****ing entertaining, same ole shit every ****ing episode? That JAG?

Choco Penii!!!!

Bet Houston gets one first since he's holding out.

The "beast" is part of the same unit that allowed Indy to put up 45 on deep bomb after deep bomb. Deep passes don't happen that consistently and that often if you have a competent pass rush, regardless of how poor the secondary is.

The "JAG" put up 44 without any marquee players to help him out (unless you consider Bowe one, he truly was average at best last year) because Charles went down within a couple of plays.

LMAO :banghead: Rep!

way to cheer for your team

I dont know about your endorsement theory but Houston is underpaid because he fell to the 3rd round because he failed a drug test right before the draft. Houston has nobody to blame but himself for losing out on $$$$, no matter how good he is.

Houston. Top tier pass rushers are hard to come by and he is younger. We will have more years of service from him than AS.

It's why KC refuses to draft franchise QBs.

Media exposure for a player of that caliber is negatively harmed by being in the Midwest, so the club has to make up the difference with signing bonuses and larger share of cap money.

I would think Houston because of where he ranks at his position versus where Alex Smith ranks at his position. But lets see what the contract demands are before we we jump on who gets signed or doesn't get signed.

Brady Quinn once put up 40+ points with the Browns.

And he wasn't even aided by defensive scores.

This is a no-brainer. Houston. No debating it.

I'm praying we don't extend Smith. It was a mistake to pay what we did for him in compensation, just admit that mistake and move on after this year. Unless he all the sudden becomes a QB without his obvious limitations. That's not happening.

Smith for sure. We finally have our 1st round franchise QB

His obvious limitations are mental.

Houston...

But how soon posters forget how bad it gets when not having a competent QB to lead.

You pay the QB - always.

Smith is Reid and Dorsey's boy. They chose him. Pay him and build the team around him and if it fails over the next 3 years blow it up and start all over again.
