I will take 10 of those for the next 100 years in KC before I ever take another retread game manager.

The Chiefs, in an very Un-Chief maneuver, managed to get both this year.
That's why I don't understand the Smith angst. We did exactly what so many of you are screaming we should've done - went out and snagged a high-value, high-potential rookie QB.
The problem has become that the Chiefs didn't take the one many of us preferred and in the end, that's just stupid. Sure, I'd have loved to see them get Smith; he was my favorite QB in the class. But Bray actually does have more long-term upside than Smith and I said that before the draft.
This is just shouting at the dark by many of you. The Chiefs got the best available option for a team that's a lot older than many of you want to accept (Hali, DJ and Charles are looking at 3 more high-end years at most, Flowers and Bowe won't be too far behind that). This isn't a team that can give sit back while a rookie QB develops for another 2 years, especially not with the anger that had built up in the fanbase.
They did a smart thing and got a QB that can get the franchise back on the road to respectability. They then did an even smarter thing and snagged a long-term developmental guy. Did they fall ass-backwards into Bray? Yeah, probably, but in the end they still got him.
This "I'd rather have a rookie over a retread" argument is just stupid - we got
both and placed the latter in a very good position to succeed.
