They clearly want some backups and rookies from last year to step up to become key players for them moving forward.

Not saying it will work, but it has for other teams before. Teams like the Steelers and Packers rarely look outside the team for replacing their losses, and have the next man up approach. And I know, Alex Smith doesn't jive with that. Reid wanted him, and there you go, so far, he was right.

Good post save one point. He was right about Alex Smith the player, but you simply cannot wash away the price that was paid for him and pretend it doesn't have an impact. One of the reasons the Steelers and Packers are successful in their approach is because they stockpile picks, not trade them away.
