I don't care how we win the sb, just as long as we win it, and stay in contention for it year in year out like some teams are.

Then you're left hoping, like the rest of us, that Alex Smith turns into a legitimate franchise QB, because that's the best way to consistently do what you're calling for in the bold.
Why are you setting 8 years as the mark for comparing the two? Doesn't make sense to me. If Geno turns into a star (By the end of next season, or the end of this season) and becomes a BETTER player than Alex Smith, you can compare it at that point.
As it is, Alex Smith's current leg up rests solely on his ball protection (which runs his passer rating a measly 3.5 points higher than Geno Smith's). Geno is superior in other key measures (completion percentage, YPA) or even (TD passes).
We were told Alex Smith was the right move for KC because it allowed the Chiefs to win NOW. It is starting to look like KC could have had its cake and eaten it, too, with Geno Smith.
