When Alex Smith is replaced it will either be with some identical, supremely limited quarterback like Peterman or it will come at a MASSIVE cost. And no, the 2018 quarterback crop isn't any more likely to be outstanding than this one is - better at the top (where we can't get) and just as 'eh' through the middle. Meanwhile, we'll no longer have the luxury of grooming a guy for a year - after this season with Smith under center, it will be obvious that he must be replaced immediately, I'm certain of that.
I'm writing of '17 - we're not winning anything with Smith. So trying to continue to prop him up is an exercise in futility. Give him Foster and we'll still lose to first top 10 QB he faces in the post-season.
The time to strike at QB is now and if it costs you a 1st, 3rd and 2018 2nd, so be it. That's going to be the cost anyway be it this season or next. That, or you just watch some other scrub go out there and dink and dunk his way to very little of consequence.

When did I suggest to give up that haul for Foster? If the potential second coming of Ray Lewis is available in the mid to late teens you go get that given the positional need and elite talent of the player.
I am prognosticating that in order to get a Patrick Mahomes, and to ensure that you get him, the Chiefs need to move up between the 10 to 15 pick range which will cost a lot. I rather spend draft capital on a sure thing instead of a project. If said project slides into a range where we're giving up number 27 and maybe one other pick then yeah I'm on board.
