He'll run a Pistol Offense just fine.

I wish people would stop being such negativists with regard to Alex Smith. I wanted Geno for the Chiefs more than just about anybody in the country, but I'm not going to be a bitter pessimist and dump all over A. Smith because we didn't draft him. Smith has some pretty good tools and was completely screwed over by some really, really bad coaching for the majority of his NFL career to this point. When he finally got the opportunity to play for a decent coach, he played pretty darn well.

He'll be just fine here in Kansas City where he meshes exceptionally well with the coaching staff and rest of the personnel.

If not, then we get to move on when/if that happens, but I'm not going to take a shit on a guy who was the best option available to get this team on the right track right out of the gate.

Quit being a bunch of pussies for Christ's sake.

Yeah!
