His level of play was so average, they could have returned to respectability with Reid and a lot of cheaper options at QB.
I'm glad they have Mahomes and have finally moved on from Alex Smith. They got lucky and had that work out.
I'd rather have spent 2013 and 2014 picks that went to San Fran on cheap young players at other positions.
They overpaid to be not terrible at QB. Could have paid less for cheaper placeholders.
