1- His head trauma history. 2- The recent revelation about his "small" hands. I wonder if he has fumbled the ball more than he should because of it. Is there a good study on that? |

Being able to start this team back on the right track by inking a proven commodity at QB and selecting a brand new franchise LT (with no back problems) before making any other draft picks would be a great win for the team and the fans in Kansas City.
A team that was worse than an expansion team last year ought to look at what it takes to succeed in the NFL and think about it. Alex Smith is a first round quarterback. He's never had a rating below 80 the last 4 years. Last year he was above 90, and this year about 100. He threw a grand total of 10 interceptions over the last 2 seasons. Last year, with a good team around him, Alex Smith had his team 3 points away from the Super Bowl. Guys with this resume never become free agents in the NFL. Not when they are 28 years old. And people here tell you to "kill yourself" when you suggest that this guy might be a safer bet than a rookie who couldn't win games in a major conference in college football. We're supposed to believe that even though Alex Smith was a field goal away from the Super Bowl last year it doesn't mean anything. He's Matt Cassel. Geno Smith is the only way we'll ever get to the Super Bowl. The groupthink has gone over the cliff. Logic and reason are beside the point here. Well, this is why you're selling insurance and Dorsey/Reid are in the NFL, let's hope they get this right. We could be back in the wild card hunt sooner than later if they do. |

That 1 conversion was a meaningless conversion at the end of the first half. You can go the safe route and take Alex Smith, and never have any hope of advancing to the SB. But if that's the route that Reid and Dorsey choose to go, they can go **** themselves, and you.

3 points or 30 points.
Makes no difference. Franchise QBs make plays gainst outstanding playmaking defenses when plays need to be made. Game manangers don't.

Maybe that means we should take Nassib, since he showed who was the franchise QB? |

Nothing posted in this thread is more true than this. In fact, it ought to be a system-generated disclaimer attached to any thread in which Geno Smith is discussed.

Logic states that free agent qbs don't win SBS. Yet here we are discussing this again

You're talking about a team that has failed to win a PLAYOFF game in 20 years, yet making Super Bowl will be as easy as taking a QB #1 overall in a year when the best prospect would be a bottom first if not a second on most years, is the answer. Again, the ****ing hyperbole is highest it's been in the history of Chiefsplanet. |

Geno Smith in years prior to last year would easily be viewed as a top 10 pick. His player rating on NFL.com is only 7 or 8 points below Luck's last year, and 3 or 4 below RGIII's. He would have easily been the third QB off the board last year, ahead of Tannehill. In most of the the prior years, he would have been the first or second.

How about we stop with the small goals? How about if a guy can't be a Super Bowl-quality player, we don't acquire him? Let's do that instead of guys that can just be good enough for the playoffs. That's what we've been doing up to this point, and it hasn't worked. Alex Smith can't/won't win a Super Bowl. Regardless of how good the Chiefs have been in the past, he's not worth our time or our money. Period. |

The issue I'm seeing is that there are many people convinced that G. Smith is a savior and should be acquired, regardless of whether or not he's worthy of being number #1 overall. And if he's not, Reid is a failure. It's really quite bizarre. |

We also see an opportunity to take the best QB in his class, and understand there's some risk involved, but the potential reward is greater than the risk in this new CBA era.
