The last 5-8 QB's the Chiefs have had? You think Smith is better than the last 8 Chiefs QB starters before him?!

Alex has served his purpose.
He's a winning QB, its not always pretty, but you can win with that guy. I think we have been very fortunate to have him. I do think Alex is going to have a good year in 2017, he has a lot to prove. Some team will be happy to pay him for his services in 2018. |

Alex was never going to be anything more than a transitional QB for us while we waited for the next guy. It would have taken a monumental series of fortunate events for him to have reached the SB with the Chiefs. He is the best QB to start for the Chiefs since Trent. I wish him success and one last opportunity to start with another team come the 2018 season. |

5 year transitional QB?
To me Smith will be the guy that impressed me at times yet left me wondering why he couldn't do it more consistently. I guess that's why the great QBs are great and the average QBs are just average. |

Yeah, I think this whole "Alex's job was to make KC respectable and transition to a real QB they can win with" line of thinking is just pro-Alex spin. That's certainly not what was said at the time by Andy Reid or Clark Hunt (we have our first round QB, Alex being able to do everything Andy needs/wants, Alex being able to improve, etc.) It certainly wasn't the rhetoric of most in favor of the trade or most who defended him after he arrived. "Not his fault! Winning percentage! Smart football!" Transitional QBs are guys you being in for a year, maybe two. You don't talk up their ability to improve, or become elite starters, or give them lucrative, expensive contract extensions. . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Andy Reid called him Len Dawson.
****ing bullshit. It doesn't take 5 years to "transition." Whatever the **** that means. Alex Smith was a fruitless, pointless endeavor. He was kinda fun to kick around, though. We've all completed our Doctorates in Game Management Studies. |

Guys, you don't trade or sign a QB and say that he's just here to help us transition. Nobody does that, nobody. I 100% believe that Reid thought he would win with Smith, and you know what? He did. Shit we even one a playoff game with him, which sadly is something we didn't do with ANY QB around here in decades. So its not like Reid lied to anyone, or sold us on Smith and he didn't deliver.
If anything, Smith allowed Reid and Dorsey time to rebuild the entire organization, the team itself and the front office. The Chiefs are now in placve to go get the QB they wanted and insert him into a roster that's talented and pretty deep. My lord, thier plan was spot on perfect. I don't know why so many of you want to sit around and bitch all day about a team that consistantly makes the playoffs, and just drafted a QB who looks to be the homerun hitter we have all wanted for so long. Outside of a handful of team, I think most teams would love to be in our current position. |

The Chiefs are certainly, finally, set up the way they should be. I am not complaining.
Some of us just have no patience for revisionist history. |

Alex is a fine QB who played well down the stretch in 13' and 15' but isn't the guy to take the franchise to the next level.

He has plenty of money and doesn't want to end up a veg. Can't say as I blame him, but he needs to just buck up or move on. |

![]() My only point to add to this is that when Mahomes is ready, he takes the reigns of team that has been assembled. If that is in 2017, frigging great!!! |
