Alex Smith: "I think [the Chiefs] are only committed to me through this year"

Spoiler!

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- In his first public comments since the Kansas City Chiefs traded up in the first round to select Texas Tech's Patrick Mahomes II, Alex Smith acknowledged Wednesday that his time as Kansas City's starter might soon be finished.

The Chiefs view Mahomes as the eventual replacement for Smith, who has two seasons left on his contract.

"I think [the Chiefs are] committed to me [only] through this year,'' Smith said. "That's just the nature of it. If you don't go out there and perform, I mean, coach [Andy] Reid and [quarterbacks coach Matt Nagy] are very honest. You've got to go out there and do your deal. We all have to.

"Whether or not we drafted Patrick, it doesn't change that, right? If you're not good enough and didn't get it done, you're not going to be around long. That's just our culture. I know it. That's the nature of the position.''

Smith went through a similar situation earlier in his career when he was with the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers drafted Colin Kaepernick in the second round in 2011. Midway through the following season, Kaepernick replaced Smith as San Francisco's starting quarterback, and Smith was traded to the Chiefs after the end of the season.


Quarterback Alex Smith has two seasons left on his contract but acknowledged Wednesday in his first public comments since the Chiefs drafted Patrick Mahomes II that his time in Kansas City might soon be over.

"There is a little similarity,'' said Smith, who turned 33 earlier this month. "I'm an older quarterback and they drafted a kid that's coming in young and they're looking to develop.''

One major difference is that Reid and the general manager who brought him to the Chiefs, John Dorsey, are still in place. The coach and general manager who drafted him with the 49ers were long gone by the time San Francisco brought in Kaepernick.

"This is a completely different coaching staff and a completely different team,'' Smith said. "I think I'm a much different player.


"In that sense it's very different. They did bring me here and I've been here four years. I'm in my fifth year now. It was different there. Those were still new faces, so to speak, and I wasn't necessarily their guy or anything like that.''

Still, the addition of Mahomes represents the first legitimate threat to Smith's starting job in Kansas City. Reid and Dorsey have said Mahomes is some time away from being ready to play, and that they are committed to Smith for the interim.

"I've been through it,'' Smith said. "I'm in a different place than the last time I kind of dealt with something like this [but] I get it, right? If any of us were the GM, this in my opinion might be the most important position in all of sports. You'd be crazy not to be stockpiling talent.

"So I get it, going into year 13. You understand it. At the same time it doesn't change my focus, right? I still feel I've got a lot of years left in me. I still feel like I'm getting better, to be honest with you.''

I FYP.

I think the Chiefs are wisely committed to a much better future. It's a shame that so many great players have had to suffer under the god-awful, true fan rank-stank of mediocre, transplant, shitbag QB's, but their sacrifice has paved the way for the glorious Golden Age we are about to enter.

Let us nevar forget.

The Smith era may end sooner than 2018.

I have no wish to see Alex Smith get hurt or injured, but I would like to see him get hit so hard that his fan boys suffer brain aneurysms.

****ing tard, if you believe that. Smith, 42-20, as a Chief.. and brought a shit-tier team back to respectability. You can pathetically hate him for not being great enough to beat the best.. but he has easily been the best QB that KC has had since Trent.. what? 20 years ago?

LOL, so basically, go **** yourself.

Truly pathetic sentiments from someone above the age of 8.

Well done.

Nah.

It'd be better to have clear video footage of Smith looking to a wide open Hill or Maclin, feel phantom pressure and either beeline out of bounds or he lobs a way too-high checkdown to Ware or Hunt that has no potential for YAC.

And repeat every game until Smith is rightfully supplanted by Mahomes.

Pretty sure 4 of the last 5 SBs featured a dual threat QB.

Aww. Did someone get a little sand in her gina? I never said I hate Smith, and you are correct...he's been the best QB since Trent. I just hate the dumbasses that follow him blindly and have an unhealthy crush on him like your clan does.

And thanks for your permission to go **** myself. I think I'll go do that. Then afterwards I'll sit here, sipping my drink still not giving two ****s about wounding your sandy gash by talking about your boyfriend Alex.

No wounded. My vag is tight and happy.

There's no blind love here. Smith is good, and could have been more.. but he never raised his game enough to get KC over the playoff hump. I accept that, and wish him well beyond football... and hope Mahomes can be more.

Is that so terrible and beyond reproach, good sir?

Well I got through the first page of this thread and just can't go any further.

And this is why you are a CP legend and icon, sir.
Well done.

We thank Smith for coming along for the ride. No one else could have attached himself like a barnacle to this team and ridden it's greatness with equal skill.

Idiot.

Not at all.

Alex Smith replacing Len Dawson in the broadcast booth would be a nightmare.

Not only would we have a constant reminder of the four, soon to be five, years wasted with him, we'd go from having a color guy/former QB who calls out Chiefs QBs mercilessly for checking down well short of the sticks on third down ... to having a color guy who is the perfect embodiment of that.

**** that.
