Through the Smiff years, game day predictions in the regular season and playoff threads were overwhelmingly we will win this one. When we didn't you had your scapegoat. Its easy to blame one guy and Smiff was so easy with his conservative game management. But football is and always will be a team sport. The team didn't do enough and the coaching game plan was to hide our weakness "Smiff." Plenty of players disappeared in the playoffs also.

I was so happy to finally draft a QB finally again high in the 1st round it was time to move away from Alex. But it's completely disingenuous to claim you lost interest because of Smiff because you were all here hoping and predicting we were finally going to do it.

It's not disingenuous at all.

I absolutely did lose interest because of Alex Smith. And Matt Cassel, Damon Huard, Brodie Croyle, Tyler Thigpen, and the list goes on.

I was 100% tired of retreads at the QB position and for that reason, I logged off of CP for almost 2 years and missed almost an entire season of Chiefs football where I didn't watch the games.
