The options are this:
Hope Alex Smith is far better than what he's shown
Hope Smith gets injured, the team submarines, moves on from him, and gets another high pick
Hope Smith reverts to his pre-Harbaugh form
Because unless one of those three outcomes happen, they will be in purgatory.

If he plays to his Harbaugh form and the Chiefs are able to turn 1.1 into, for example, 1.8 this year and 1.15 next - they can do a hell of a lot more than purgatory.
I think it's fair to give him the chance to prove that he
isn't what he's been for his last 20 starts, don't you? If he's that guy, he's actually quite good.
