I just don't understand the continued loathing of Smith. The process worked, and he was a big part of the process. Had we drafted Geno Smith, Johnny Manziel, or Paxton Lynch, who are all colossal busts, would this team be in the enviable position that it's in now? I highly doubt it. First of all, drafting any other first round quarterback the last 5 years would have drastically reduced the chance that we drafted Mahomes. Secondly, a winning environment has been built here in that time frame. Mahomes comes in with weapons at WR, TE, and RB, as well as a respectable offensive line. He is setup to succeed. If Mahomes turns out to be half of what we are hoping for, the next few years could be the best for this franchise since Superbowl IV. And let's not forget what we got in return for Smith. The Chiefs are primed to be a true contender for years to come. Thanks in part to them bringing in Alex Smith 5 years ago. I was frustrated with his play too. But I, for one, am glad that it worked out the way that it did. You haters need to open your eyes. You know that I'm right.
