It will start a whole 'nother cycle of QB drama, only this time with the sides reversed.
Of course, that's just a prediction. I have no proof or evidence that this will take place. But I know how CP posters operate. Somebody who was attacked for years for an opinion gets uppity and goes on the attack when it's their turn to see their opinion take a backseat to the plans of the Chiefs. It's the life cycle. Except the drafturbators haven't even had a ****ing turn since 1983. That's the uncertainty surrounding it.
If we trade for a veteran backup after Alex, I think you'll see the current QB climate get even ****ing worse.

Yeah, my concern specifically will be the "excuses" versus "legit reasons".
This will be the next divisive issue for the QB.
People that hate Alex call everything from playcalling to player injuries excuses. People that like or are open minded call these same things legit reasons.
So once Smith is gone, will the same rules apply to the next QB?
Pretty sad to say.. I doubt it. The next guy.. so long as he isn't another instantly hated retread.. will be allowed every excuse.. which from my point of view would likely be fair (as it's consistent with my prior QB view).. but so obviously inconsistent from those unwilling to give all QBs the same courtesy.
