Alright, so WHO do you replace Alex with?

[Direckshun]

I'm in favor like everybody else on this board (and 85% of the NFL) of upgrading at QB.

But there is nobody to do that with.

It's easy to say it should be done.

Which of these steps are you willing to take?

Poll coming.

SD isn't going to trade Rivers to KC, guaranteed.

Reid is not some offense genius or QB guru. He's just a coach.

I don't think any of our players on offense are living up to their potential.

Oline should be better
WRs should be better
Even the QBs should be better (Foles looked just like Smith when he was in there)

Our offensive staff is nothing special.

Everyone on our offense would look a lot better if we had a better QB. Look at how much better our pieces are than a lot of the top offenses in the league...

TY for that. They really do need to keep that franchise in SD. LA would be a disaster.

Slightly rougher cap hit for Stafford than Smith without severely handicapping ability to draft for other team needs in 2017 which is what it would take to draft a rookie QB this season.

This isn't Madden.

Here's what KC should do: cut/trade Smith and keep Foles, AND draft a QB in the first or second round.

Ive always liked Kirk Cousins, so Id go after him, if he hit free agency. IMO, a big upgrade over Smith, If Andy would turn him loose, and let him throw deep!

Man, I would go with Rivers! If we had Rivers, we would have to be legitimate Super Bowl Favorites, provideing Andy gives up OC play calling duties!

Poll is missing an option for "A potato."

Keep Smith and draft a QB in the 1st or 2nd round.

No longer cost a ton to draft a guy.

No reason to cut your starter until you know what you have in the draftee.

If the draftee works out then you cut/trade your starter.

[Easy 6]

I replace him with Nick Foles, then if there is a QB I really see something in this year... the trade up gets pulled in the first 2 rounds and he sits behind Foles in 2017

If there isnt anyone I like in this draft, its

Foles

Bray

Some journeyman yokel who can at least complete a handoff... then go get my starchild in the supposedly QB heavy 2018 draft

[New World Order]

How much cap do we save if we cut Smith?

I would try to trade for Rivers and draft a quarterback.

hmmmmm

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Trubiski or Mahomes if we're making the move this year.

I'm not fooled by the athleticism of the Clemson product. That shit is going to bomb in this league. No need to move up.

So just do it to do it, regardless of whether it helps the team or not? Throw away a first round pick just so we can say we drafted a 1st round QB? Thankfully Dorsey makes picks based on something other than "everyone else has a first round QB so we should too".
