SNR's post pretty much nailed it (my feelings about Smith, anyway).
But here's the thing. Many of us have went back and forth since January about why we think Smith isn't good enough, or why some believe that he is. We can continue to debate this and throw out all of the support for our respective arguments for as long as we please.
But the bottom line is this: Alex has the opportunity to prove people like myself and other doubters wrong this season. He has 2017 to shove crow in all of our faces. For the sake of the Chiefs, I hope he does prove us wrong. But I've got very little reason to believe that he will.
I will enjoy watching the Chiefs this year even with Smith playing, but I have given him far too many chances in the past to 'change his stripes'. I will not expect anything different than his normal conservative approach which limits this team's potential, not until he proves otherwise.
