Mahomes is going to throw guys open, while Alex Smith takes the safe "wide open" option. But regardless... the best way to fix this team is to balance with better defense. Regardless of your view on Alex Smith, saving $17M goes a very long way to upgrading our defense.
Alex Smith isn't going to lead an offense. He needs to manage games which means building an elite defense. So you're right that he has a better shot to do that elsewhere. I don't see Alex Smith doing that in KC - you either have to load him up with a ton of offensive talent or make the defense elite. Not ideal. To your point about Reid... I agree he's a problem, so you need a QB who can cover up the coach's mistakes. Smith & Reid are a bad match because Smith enables Reid in the wrong ways. Reid needs a QB who will put teams away, not a game manager who exposes the worst parts of Andy Reid.

I cant disagree with you but I still believe this exact team, with a better strategic post season coach would still be playing next week. I`m just saying IMO Smith isnt the number 1 problem....
