One thing people don't seem to appreciate is the morale of the players. You would rather draft a QB to develop and suck for years instead of being respectable now. But the players don't want to hear about next year or the next. They want to be competitive and win now. What happens if KC drafts a Geno Smith... goes 3-13 this season.. ? Think the players.. the key players you all love.. think they won't lose respect and interest in giving their all? Think they won't be looking for the exit ASAP? Teams need to try their best to win every year... they need to appease the fans and the players. Alex will bring far more respectability this season than would some rookie or trash FA vet. Steep price? Sure... but he is under a team friendly contract.. and KC can still develop current or future QBs while they crawl up out of the NFL basement.
