If Alex Smith plays next year, you extend Foles and you overpay him. Regardless of whether Alex plays next year, the Chiefs must draft a qb in the first or second round. Even trade up if need be. Not even a question on either front.
If Alex gets hurt in a playoff hunt I'm not handing the keys to a freshman mid-season. The minute Alex hangs it up, I would rather give a young guy a shot than retread with Foles.
So whether we extend Foles or not has everything to do with what Alex Smith wants to do with his life.
