Exactly.

Who here doesn't believe it?

You're missing the point.

If the team is now recognizing this team needs to be rebuilt, especially from the inside out, why give a big contract to Bowe? Why give up two 2nds for Alex Smith, who is essentially now a transitional QB rather than your franchise?

The biggest folly of the Herm years was that they tried to patch it together in year 1 and THEN stripped it down to rebuild.

If Dorsey and Reid thought this team needed to be rebuilt, they should have started LAST YEAR.

If that's the case then why trade two ****ing 2nd's when those would have been really useful for a youth movement?

It's almost a guarantee I'm sure that Alex Smith will be signed to an extension. So with this youth movement Alex Smith will probably be 33 or 34 by the time the rest of the roster is built up and competitive.

There is no god damned consistency with what Dorsey is doing. If you're going for a youth movement, then go all out and do a youth movement. But don't splurge in FA and trade picks for an average QB when you could be building the team up.

I can see what Dorsey is doing/has done....but it doesn't ****ing mean that I have to be happy about it. And it doesn't guarantee that it's going to ****ing work.

Alex Smith was in a youth movement for like 7 years in SF and got to enjoy the built roster for basically one and a half seasons. Hes not doing that bullshit again

I feel sorry for Alex Smith if they turn over the entire line.

Difference is, he has a good coaching staff to start with this time and, if he plays without reservations like he did against the Colts and for much of the second half of the season, he has shown the ability to elevate the play of those around him as well. All he needs is a good defense and for the overpaid defensive stars to play to the level of their damn pay checks when it matters.

If the offensive line can't protect him, we know what happens.

Pure BlackBob ridiculousness. Just plain dumb.

[OldSchool]

Paying top 5 money to a slot corner that can't even adequately cover #1 WRs and had all of 7 PDefs last season. Only the Chiefs.

Alex Smiths play with the current roster is not an argument for Alex Smith with a youth movement

because get this, the current roster has win now players in their prime. Imagine that.

[OrtonsPiercedTaint]

If the SOC wants to lay claim to running off Pioli. Then getting Alex Smith has to be laid at their feet as well. Hunt needed to win soon or risk losing the fan base.

So because there's no rumors of fa talks we assume this is a complete rebuild from now on?

What else can we do? We can only discuss what we know and then speculate.

Should we just not talk about it?

Rainbows and unicorns! Chiefs rule!
