Look we can agree to disagree here on both QB's.
I never liked Sanchez coming out of college & I thought Smith was doing what he needed to do and winning games in SF before he had the concussion so I see no reason to change my mind now he is a Chief.
I know Smith isn't Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, or Andrew Luck. I think he is good enough to take a team to a SB, he proved that even though he came up a drive short. Some may disagree with that, I dont care, I believe it.
I would love to have an elite QB, I dont see where Dorsey and Reid had a chance to get one so we are where we are and we have a shot IMO. I think part of the issue this off season is this team whether its just perceived or real has a lot of talented players in their prime to the back end of their prime and they didn't want to just burn the next few years on a developmental QB project which is what this draft had.
The key is that they continue to work to develop a guy long term via the draft, and not just sit on their hands and expect Smith is it.

The team that drafted Sanchez gave him a generous contract extension well before he had the opportunity to test free agency.
At the end of the day, neither of these moves mean a damn thing.
