I'm not miffed about Paxton Lynch necessarily, but every QB we fail/choose not to get because we have other needs and a still (relatively) sturdy QB is just upping the odds that we get ****ed over when Smith can no longer play. We don't know when that day will come, either. He's over 30, has a concussion history, and is smart enough to know that a few extra years isn't always worth getting your brains scrambled over.
This was the mindset of the franchise and most of the fanbase in Green's last years. Kansas City has a remarkable tendency to always wind up on the ****ed side of the equation when it comes to QB luck in the draft. They never show up when we need them, and we're always on the wrong side or the wrong spot in the draft.
That's why I get nervous about every QB we pass on or get ****ed out of. There will probably be another one next year that we'll miss, too.
I just hope Alex Smith can play forever, because we're going to end up trading for some Elvis Grbac/Matt Cassel mother****er when Smith leaves.
