This story literally confirms what all the pessimists have been complaining about. This organization is content with filling the seats and nothing more.

That is what I am afraid of.

I'm pretty sure this is evidence that Reid and Dorsey do not believe Smith is The Guy.

It certainly begs the question of who the guy will be in the future. My guess is we trade up for him in 2014.

Yep. It's explicit. No longer do we need to speculate.

from a practical standpoint, we supposedly believe in building through the draft, but gave up 2 seconds for going 8-8 with a stop gap QB....there's no spin for this

at least if it was contingent on a playoff appearance you could rationalize it...8-8?

ROFL

Why are we giving up 2 picks for him?

actually it begs the question of why you'd trade 2 seconds for someone who isn't 'the guy'...

the more you think about it, the more painfully ****ing stupid it is

and just because I'm that guy:

trading for RG3..risky

trading multiple picks for 8-8...smart.../chiefs fans

Be fun to watch league best Oline play again.

They gave up a second round this year and have expectations to at least go 8-8 with Alex Smith this year to warrant him to be our starting quarterback for next several years to come barring injuries.

Injuries maybe our best hope to force the Chiefs to do something different than Alex Smith. I'm betting they will stick with him as long as they can. They look at 8 wins as an "improvement". It's not an improvement when we went the playoffs with basically the same team in 2010.

8-8

I thoroughly get your point. But we had no leverage whatsoever because there were other teams that wanted AS just as bad so we did and we had to drop our pants even further. Especially since we had no legit NFL QB on the roster and the 9ers knew it and bent us over. Dorsey would have done the same if we were in their shoes. Fallout is on Pioli not Dorsey/Reid for hanging his hat on Cassel and leaving us with sh** at QB plain and simple.

Dorsey got defensive in a pressed when someone brought up the trade compensation. He knows he got the okie-doke from the 9ers.
