Reid and Smith were perfect for what the Chiefs needed in 2013, coming off of one of the worst seasons in history. Smith's replacement has been drafted and it's time to move on. He had his day in the sun and fulfilled the prophecy of delivering a PO win to KC. Now it's time for Mahomes to fulfill a new prophecy to KC- a 2nd SB ring.

No. Retreads aren't what they needed. Until the last draft this franchise was afraid to draft and develop a QB like most successful and SB winning teams do for close to 3 decades. Instead always going for someone else's scraps.
And the end results have shown the true fruit of those efforts.
