Derek Carr ****ing sucks everyone. Teddy Bridgewater? Ok, maybe. Maybe. But it's not like he's some lock and also, what's his ceiling? Franchise QB? Yeah, don't think so.
and if we did draft these guys ... did you want them to play this year? You really think either one of these dipshits would have excelled behind the worst offensive line I've ever seen in the history of watching the Chiefs?
I am just curious ...
It's not like Reid or Dorsey has passed on 1 QB that, to me, looks like they'll ever amount to jack shit in the NFL.
...MAYBE Bridgewater.
Geno Smith?
Give me a ****ing break.

I addressed this point in the did, does, always will suck thread.
It's not just that they could have/should have gotten someone better. It's that they could have expended FAR fewer resources to get a similar QB (Carson Palmer, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Kyle Orton, to name three guys who put up very similar figures as Alex Smith this season).
Maybe they win 10 games last year and 7 games this year with those guys at the helm instead, but that's not a big deal. The team also would have had the benefit of two more high-round, premium talent picks (one basically a first-round pick), which probably would have helped.
Alex Smith?
Or Kyle Orton + Keenan Allen + Gabe Jackson?
Alex Smith is a stop-gap, whether his fanbois and the Chiefs front office realize it or not. There were cheaper options out there.
