I know Alex Smith isn't the most popular choice, but I like that the new Chiefs leadership is looking to win now. Yeah, maybe we finish 9-7 or 8-8, but I like that Dorsey and Reid aren't just waiting around and instead our going out there and doing their damndest to make sure the abortion of last season doesn't happen again.
Yup, I guess I'm "that" optimistic guy right now. |

The New York Giants and Green Bay Packers have both won Super Bowls with 9-7 regular season records recently.
The Arizona Cardinals were 2 minutes from winning a Super Bowl with a 9-7 record. 2-14 won't get you to the show. |

Those teams are also diametrically the opposite of what we're going to be. We have to follow the Jets/49ers template of the last few years, which was building a fantastic team capable of carrying a sub-par quarterback. Those teams, or at least the two winners, were flawed teams carried to victory by their signal caller. And yes, that includes grampa trick-thumb Warner, who played phenomenal ball in the playoffs that year for an 8000 year old QB.

The Giants in 2007 and the Packers in 2010 both went 10-6. Only the most recent Giants Super Bowl team was 9-7

Eli Manning and Aaron Rogers say sup! They have Franchise QBs while KC has the scraps of other teams backups.

Eli beat Brady twice, and Rodgers Supermaned his team to his 1st ring.

and Rodgers had a lot of help from a defense that gave up a ton of yards, but also lead the league in turnovers. Including the deciding one in the super bowl by bj raji. Now, the 15-1 year, he had no help, and that cost them. But, your argument, was A+
