No way Alex Smith gets benched, unless he is absolutely dreadful, like Matt Cassel in years 3 & 4. But I think GoChiefs, like we all think that Alex Smith is not that bad, and that he will do just enough to keep his job and keep us in mediocrity.

When Alex Smith is done, we will be 3 years further away from our last championship, and we will be right back in the position we were 4 years ago, and the position we are in now. Now, we could luck the **** out with one of our backups and they turn into a Brady (a savior) but this is wishful thinking.

I (I don't know about GoChiefs) really want this Alex Smith thing to work, but gut instinct just doesn't foresee him winning a championship for us. Which is kind of they point of why the suit up, and is a jading reality...
I get all of that and agree to an extent. On the other side, I don't know who else we could have acquired that would give us a better chance to win this year and next year with the nucleus of talent already present. I'm not a homer fool, but I think the possibility of Alex turning a corner with a new team and new coach is there. But like you said, lots of fans here are jaded with good reason and don't think that will happen. But hell, I'm gonna hang on to that hope and give Reid a shot with the guy he obviously thinks he can accomplish great things with.
