Look around the NFL and you will see that 17 million is pretty much the going rate for a slightly above average starting QB.
Dalton, Kaep and RGIII are the only starters that make less than Alex Smith.
(not counting the starters on their rookie deals)

If people want to get mad, get mad at Andy Reid for wanting a QB like Alex Smith. Reid either doesn't think that Alex is above-average or he's ok with having a QB like that.
The Chiefs haven't been looking for a replacement, they've just been randomly 'taking shots' at picking up a QB. Evidently, Reid doesn't think QB is a problem.
Reid is the problem, not Smith ... he should have never been considered the long term solution anyway.

Alex was 100% the right move in 2013. We needed to build the roster up to be able to support the next QB.
Passing on Carr was awful, but that's done. At least
we know they wanted Carr.
It's not a matter of if, but when. I have full confidence in John Dorsey drafting a QB. It's Andy Reid's pride as well as his love for Alex that worries me.
This offseason will tell us a lot about Alex. There were rumors that the Chiefs wanted to see what Alex would do in the second half of the year. We'll find out in a few months how they really feel.
