The glaring improvement just didn't happen. His pocket composure never hit a high level that some expected, and he stopped using his legs much. There are still others to blame when it comes down to it.. but the bottom line is.. his play hasn't been good enough to lock him in for multiple years at high salary.
KC was wise to get their guy in the draft.

It wasn't fair to assume that. It was a hope-based belief that required either Chiefs or Alex Smith homer-ism. Many of us called him being this exact guy from Day 1.

Also Mahomes better turn out to be good. I have faith in Reid to make it happen but it better happen otherwise I am going to be furious. We are not that far off from a SB w Alex Smith. A lot of good players could have been taken that could have helped us more immediately. Alex Smith didn't say anything like that and he easily could have so lets give Alex credit for that. He also could have been a dick in SF when he got benched but he never was. He helped Kaepernick and kept his mouth shut. Class act.

The Chiefs ceiling under Alex Smith is pretty well established. He isn't getting better after 4 years. They are equipped to beat borderline playoff teams but not equipped to get past the elite teams.
In that sense, it doesn't really matter what they do to the team around him in the 2017 draft. There's not enough help there to make the team excellent enough around him.

He doesn't. So you get 1-3.
