We would have traded for a QB, signed a QB, and drafted a QB and there would no longer be any doubt this team values and is attempting to improve the position. I'd hate trading Albert or going Joeckel but if we turned around and used a 2nd rounder on a QB that fell I'd feel completely different.

For whatever reason, the Chiefs front offices have wanted to ship out Albert of possible. Haley rode his ass, made him lose weight and effectively changed his game, which was leverage and strength. I have no idea how Reid plans to scheme his offensive line but clearly, they'll move on if possible. And to say that a rookie LT would be a downgrade is complete speculation. We've seen plenty of first round tackle start day one and be effective, if not play at a Pro Bowl level out of the gate. |

And your second paragraph is humorous, considering how much you've already speculated that taking a rookie QB this year would be a downgrade...

The moves this front office is making are just baffling as they're fairly mediocre moves with little real upside, so if they're looking to win now they're really expecting the coaches to make a lot of difference. Reid said him and Dorsey believe you build through the draft, and I think that's the plan, its just a shame they felt the need to give up what they did for Alex Smith, but I think it was considered necessary (major need at QB, need someone they can realistically trot out as successful move to fans and players). I just hope they're not as married to it as they act like they are because I think its going to bite them bad. I'm not at all impressed with the moves this front office is making thus far. Only time will tell if I hate the Alex Smith trade as much as the Cassel one or not, the rest is pretty meh (to me those moves look more like they're just plain filling needs more than have any real belief they're "win now" moves although I think they're hoping to sell fans on that). We'll see about the draft but I have a feeling I'm not going to be any more impressed with them after it. Last edited by themanwithnoname; 03-18-2013 at 03:13 PM.. |

All evidence points to the fact they will NOT be as maniacally married to Smith as Pioli was to Cassel. Reid has shown over and over that he is willing to change his mind on players to help his team succeed.

That's my only hope is Smith is a guy they can trot out for some middling short term success then bench his ass once they find someone better.

My hope, personally, is that Smith continues to improve as a QB as he has done each year in the league. In the last two years he lost only 6 games out of 27 and threw 35 TD's against only 10 interceptions. Passer ratings of 90.7 and 104.1. Lead a team to the NFC championship and got a team in position for a Super Bowl run. So, that's my hope. But if he doesn't.. I'm sure Reid and Dorsey will look elsewhere.
