5 years.
Geno can suck dick his entire first year and still compare favorably with Alex over the 5 year window given by the OP. I'm not predicting that. At the very least I would certainly expect Alex to play better than an NFL rookie his first year or 2.
OP did not even make a QB comparison or he would have asked who had more yards & TDs and higher passer rating?
Instead he asked who would lead his team to more wins? The jury is clearly out on that one.
The fact is, Geno is the clear underdog here as we KNOW Alex Smith is a successful journeyman QB and, barring injury, will still be starting under center for some team. Geno may be out of the NFL after this year. The Jets could go 2-14 and draft the top QB prospect next year. Who knows?
So anybody voting for Alex has minimal risk.
One thing unclear about the poll is if Alex's wins only count if he is on the Chiefs. What if he is released in 2 years. Do the wins on his new team count for the 5 year window, or just for the Chiefs? It seems "success" for the Chiefs wouldn't count any wins for the Chiefs. So I can tell if this bet is Geno vs Alex straight up, or Geno vs Alex as a Chief only.

Well, I can't really disagree with your post.
But the title of the OP, not to mention the edit with their week 1 stats, pretty clearly communicates, to me, anyway, "Let's compare these two quarterbacks." That may be a foolish undertaking, or it may be interesting.
But the fact remains, it appears to be what this thread is about. So, to say don't compare them, in this thread, just struck me as somewhat funny.
