I don't believe they can ever make a real playoff run with Alex Smith. Good enough to make the playoffs with Alex Smith doesn't mean anything to me, because I won't believe they can do anything once there with him at QB until he shows it to me.
Winning 21 games the next two years means much less to me than finding a QB they can win it all with down the road.

Fair enough. I guess I'm not in disagreement with your perspective of what is expected then, only in our assessments of what Alex can do. I think if the chiefs can make the play-offs this year, they have as much of an opportunity to make the big game as any team. I believe success breeds success and Alex has shown that he can be a part of turning a team around. He just can't do it alone. He's not Manning...but then again, no one is Manning.
By the way, another good read, but again I have linkage issues...
