Expect the Chiefs to go looking for a backup QB
By ADAM TEICHER
The Kansas City Star The Chiefs have their starting quarterback, or will have in a couple of weeks, once their trade for Alex Smith becomes official. But don’t think for a minute the Chiefs are finished at that position for this year. Order Reprints Kansas City Chiefs general manager John Dorsey More News Expect the Chiefs to go looking for a backup QB Ranking top 10 players Chiefs may take in NFL draft Chiefs interview seven QBs at combine Geno Smith makes his case as top QB in NFL draft Collin Klein isn’t deterred by critics of his QB skills Read more NFL Draft The only quarterbacks the Chiefs currently have under contract are Matt Cassel, who will be traded or released, as well as Ricky Stanzi and Alex Tanney. Neither Stanzi nor Tanney has ever taken a snap in a regular season NFL game. Brady Quinn is a potential unrestricted free agent and the Chiefs appear ready to set him free. So there’s room for at least one more quarterback. John Dorsey’s history with Green Bay is that the Packers would many times draft a quarterback in a middle to late round in hopes of finding a gem. The same for Andy Reid with the Eagles, so expect the Chiefs at least to investigate heavily and perhaps make a pick in the third round or later. Whatever they do, the Chiefs need a quarterback capable of stabilizing the situation in case Smith falters or is injured. Perhaps the biggest failure of Scott Pioli’s time with the Chiefs is that they were rendered helpless (except for three games with Kyle Orton) when Cassel was injured or not playing well. Pioli paid for that decision with his job. Don’t expect Dorsey and Reid to repeat it. Read more here: http://www.kansascity.com/2013/02/28...#storylink=cpy |

For a second there I thought the Chiefs were just going to play the season with Alex Smith and Ricky Stanzi as their QBs....

Draft Geno Smith 1.1 so that when Alex Smiff gets hurt week four you put Geno Smith in and we are good to go.

That's because Jamie Dukes is a smart man. He was also one of the first talking heads to call Cassel trash.
I still remember when he was trying to grill DJ about how shitty Cassel is prior to the start of hte 2012 season. |

Nope. Alex is who the new regime is pinning their hopes on. I think Alex would be a great backup to an actual franchise QB, something this organization doesn't know exists.
As long as Alex puts butts in the seats Clark is a happy man. |

Dorsey is a "Gem in the late rounds" kinda guy, eh?
One day....one day the Chiefs will hire a GM who is a "Gem in the 1st round" kinda guy. |
