It does my heart wonderful to see so many posters righteously damning both Smith and his era, and I would ask you to consider this; if a mediocre, ultimately feeble-minded and scared QB helped bring about the first playoff win for this franchise in 150 years, then how noodle-brained, weak, and sad had this franchise become to allow a Smith-led team to become the baseline for "greatness" around here?
You see, I get it now. It's not about, "does Patrick win you the division/playoffs/Super Bowl".
It is instead about this:
"Does Patrick bring about a paradigm shift whereby through experience and confidence both the team/organization and fans believe they have every chance, every year, to accomplish those goals"?
And, do we expect or begin to expect, nay DEMAND a greater baseline?
Alex Smith was a $50.00 winning lottery ticket. Which is nice when you buy tickets at a regular interval and rarely win shit. Alex's fifty bucks will not however set you up for life.
I'm surprised that it had to take a QB of Mahomes status to open some eyes around here though. The proof was there the whole time, the whole league over. Did you have to see someone kicking ass in a Chiefs uniform to truly understand it? If so, that's incredibly sad. And it reminds me of why the Royals and Royals fans will never be taken seriously by the league:
"Man, that was sure was a great Championship"! "Sure was"! "Welp, I'll see you in the next 500 years"!
