We would be stuck with Geno for a minimum of 3 years too. Because you have to "allow him to develop".
Geno was selected where he was deserving, he's lucky he wasn't a 3rd round pick really.
The QB class sucked last year, get over it. Quit trying to make a diamond out of dried up dog shit.

That's the point. We're running out on Alex's contract. He needs a new one. Apparently Condon is being a stupid whore and wants way too much money. The Chiefs value the futures of Eric Berry, Justin Houston, and Dontari Poe on this team more than they do Alex Smith. And they should. Alex getting a Cutler contract outright prevents us from keeping all three of those players, and it likely will only allow us to keep one, if that.
Geno taking this team to 8-8 would have been the huge improvement we were looking for, and we wouldn't be in this position right now with contract negotiations.
The Chiefs can still come out of this smelling like roses if Alex doesn't take a step back this year and they manage to get him extended for the right price. If they don't, then the problem goes back to the decision to trade for him in the first place, particularly regarding the pricetag that the Niners wanted for him
