I'm not going to sit here and watch bad-mediocre QB play for 4 years like I did with Cassel.

Yep... the discussion centers around Smith since it's the most important position in the NFL, and of course there's frustration from the franchise ignoring that position for most of 4 decades and the feeling that we've done this several times before (and the mind boggling "OMG Smith has been awesome!!!" from a few who were apparently born sometime after Dec 2010). And of course there will always be comparisons to other team's draft picks and so forth.
But yeah, team success (playoff success) is all that matters in the end... it's just that the chances aren't nearly as good these days if you aren't stretching the field and your quarterback doesn't play at an elite level in the playoffs.
