Alex Smith's 2nd year looks alot like Trent Green's 2nd yr w/Chiefs

You might get slightly lesser performance from the QB, but the lower cost in picks/salary adds quite a bit of value.

No.

None of those guys is even close to Smith in production or intangibles. Orton would have been the closest, but he tried to retire last year, retired this year...and I don't think he would have came back here anyway.

Something tells me he has less than stellar memories of his time in KC.

Call it a hunch.

And now I know why they call you 'Claynus.' It's because you post some truly stupid shit.
