Foles will take chances and let his playmakers make plays. It most likely will come with more interceptions over time, but it could also take the offense to an elite status.
If Foles starts throwing INTs and losing games, Reids paycheck will suffer from it. I think Reid starts Alex Smith because he is not much of a gambler.

Keep your team at mediocre? Plenty enough flaws about Smith, but how have the Chiefs been mediocre over this 4 yr stretch? Wouldn't mediocre be a consistent 8 win team?
Could be just a play on words, but KC teams have been better than mediocre with Smith at QB. The big hangup with them has been injuries to key players, and at the worst of times.
