For me it doesn't even come down to whether he is a bust or not. Instead of using the best draft position our franchise has ever had and being able to make your selection of the best QB in the entire draft, we opted to make an unfavorable trade for one mediocre QB and sign another one in FA. Any of these types of moves could be made later on in the Reid/Dorsey tenure, or even in addition to drafting the best QB in this class.
That's what kills me about this situation. It's like they are taking the lazy, easy way out. It's like they really didn't want to give it the best shot they could, and by giving away two consecutive 2nd rounders they giving up on finding that vaunted "value" QB for awhile too. If we aren't taking a QB in 1 or 2 this year, you know these ****ers aren't going to take a QB in the first next year. Consciously planning to pick up your franchise QB in the third or lower is not sound mgmt.
The test is whether QBs taken in this year's first and second and next year's second end up being better than Alex Smith. If they are then Dorsey/Reid failed in their job, if not then they get a pass.
