I'll play the game from similar perspective - personnel. I view these things like Deion Sanders and Kurt Warner do - looking for swagger - Jared Allen types, playmakers (Shannon Sharpe), winners (Warner sees something in EJ Manuel and a few months ago I read where Andy Reid focused on him too), fearless guys like Dale Carter. This is one reason I am relieved with the Fisher pick. That guy will be successful. When it comes to TE I admit to being totally spoiled from the Gonzalez experience and its more important these guys get open and catch the ball than block. I fix that weakness with HOF guards if possible. If there's one thing I've learned to hate as a Chiefs fan it is pressure coming up the middle. If you can't prevent that then you have to have a quick release QB and run the west coast offense.
So - given the veteran challenge at QB in our division Alex Smith was the right choice to try and win while we still have to cope with Manning and Rivers. Our division will reset soon...2 more years I figure.
It's too early to tell with Reid and Dorsey...but the Chiefs have to get a lot nastier. That is one reason I hated to lose Haley...the team needed his passion. It's just a shame ***** was so wrong for a coach like that. They fired the wrong guy who never got the coaches and QB he deserved the latitude to find. But now that the damage has been done...Reid and Dorsey are a logical fit to clean this up.
