If it was to win the super bowl this year, i would be like, wow this was ****ing dumb. Its not. Its for your future, which with andy reid, and alex smith, isnt going to take another 4 years. you guys will be competitive this year, and your future qb can take over either next year or the year after. This isnt the first bottom feeding team that andy has been on, and not the first time that Alex Smith has left a team in better shape than when he got there. Again, talk to me in january. Ill still be here.

For a future QB to take over either next year or the year after, the Chiefs must take one.
Who are they going to draft in the third round that ISN'T a major project? The 8th-9th best QB in a "weak" QB class? Yeah, I'm sure that will blossom.
And if Alex Smith makes the Chiefs "competitive" in 2013, they aren't going to be in position to take an instant-impact, difference maker in the 2014 draft, who can start in 2014, unless they make a major trade up.
That's the biggest problem most have with this trade. It's not just the compensation or that Alex Smith is a bottom half to bottom third QB in the NFL. It's that it also took away any logical or likely chance to draft and develop a guy this year, and if they do the patented Chiefs 7-9 win season next year, won't be in position to get one of the better guys next year.
