If he's not able to do that because of the knee and he's not able to make the necessary adjustments to his game, then the Redskins paid a horribly high price for Griffin.
With Smith, Reid knew exactly what he was getting and banked on his understanding of his system and what kind of QB that system needs to be ultimately effective when he traded for him. If Smith is able to even come close to what McNabb was able to do in Reid's system, the trade is a fantastic one for the Chiefs. If he's able to surpass what McNabb provided, and that seems to be what Reid is thinking, it's a freaking bargain, especially when you consider what someone like the Redskins gave up in moving up for Griffin.
