If we do not 'win now' then this plan failed.
Just saying 'we went with the best QB available' is a bit too simple of an outlook, for my taste.

It doesn't mean we failed. There are multiple teams that built a terrific foundation behind the wrong QB, then ended up with the right one. Seattle is an example of a team that took multiple swings, failed multiple times and found one. San Fran is a team that seems to have found a franchise QB even though they had a veteran. Denver and Arizona are two teams who did it and plugged in a last-chance veteran.
Yeah, if the Chiefs settle for Alex Smith, I see them as long shots. I think it's insane to think the Chiefs couldn't spend a first round pick or take multiple swings at young players over the next 3 years who could ultimately replace him.
