I AM a Chiefs fan. I HOPE he succeeds because that's what is good for my team. I HOPE Andy Reid is right about Smith.
I came into the year saying he'll have to show he can do what Reid thinks he can do before I'll buy all the way in. I'm not going to apologize for sticking to my guns on that and not going Chiefs red herpaderp after beating a terrible team and a mediocre team with very tepid performances at QB from Smith.
Just because he doesn't suck doesn't mean Chiefs fans have to act like he's a true star QB.

Yeah, that gets lost in the black and white world where you're either stoked about being 2-0 or you're just a hater.... ever since the draft, I've said maybe
this time there's a big plan, whether Smith really is better than his stats indicate or he's just here to get back to respectability while they find their guy, or whatever.... but, after so many times of saying "maybe this time...", I'm not going all in after two games.
And if he does throw for 300 yards and 3 TDs Thursday night, I still won't be all in.... and if he throws for 90 yards and 3 INTs, I won't be all out. There are far too many variables involved to get too high or too low over one freakin' game, or even a handful of games. Saying "but he beat the Saints that one time!" doesn't simply erase everything else. Sure, it's a positive, and the more times he beats the big boys, the further he'll go towards becoming an elite QB, and the happier I'll be.
