MELLINGER: Should The Chiefs Move On From Smith?

Yep, another Alex Smith thread - but a solid and fair read from Sam Mellinger.

Quote:
The only way forward is through brutal honesty and realistic self-evaluation. No sport moves as quickly, or with such little empathy, as the NFL.

Only fools assume what happened in the past will continue to happen in the future, unless that assumption is “the Patriots will win every year from now until armageddon because Bill Belichick is an alien.”

And so it is that this particular group of Chiefs players and executives attempt to solve a puzzle that no group of Chiefs players and executives has solved since 1970, which is so long ago CBS erased the tape to save money:

Get to the Super Bowl.

And it’s hard to believe that will happen without addressing the quarterback situation.

This is not a call for the Chiefs to walk away from Alex Smith, even though this is the first offseason since his arrival in which they could do it without a fatal salary cap hit. This is a call for them to look, to try, to make sure they don’t have access to a better option — whether that’s Tony Romo in a trade, Deshaun Watson in the draft (which would almost certainly require a trade up), or anything else.

This fantasy that Foles can do better than Smith is about as dumb as the arguments a year ago to start Daniel/Murray/Bray when our team started 1-5...
You mean the same last year when you were ready to tank?

Ego.

Coaching in particular and pro sports in general aren't exactly staffed with people who are willing to critically examine their own flaws.

Going off of Foles' 1 and 1/2 games he played with us this season, he would have been on pace for 30+ passing TDs. Smith will never sniff that.

Of course they didn't walk away from Smith after the turnaround they had in 2013 and having traded away two second round picks to San Fran.

How smart was Pioli with Cassel?

How smart were Carl and Herm with Huard and Croyle?

Andy Reid's last two QB choices were Alex Smith and Michael Vick.

How smart are they....really?

Andy Reid wasted no time wheeling and dealing for Alex Smith when he arrived in Kansas City.

He might be regretting that hasty move now. Just listen to what the Kansas City Chiefs’ coach told Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr at the Pro Bowl last week:

Andy Reid: I would've taken you, but I had just taken Alex (Smith)

Don't read too much into that statement.

Legit QBs: Prescott, RW
TBD: Carr, Cousins, Mariota, Winston, Wentz
Overrated QBs: Cam, Tyrod, Luck

Carr because he's had the luxury of playing behind the #1 line his career. Cousins' true worth remains to be seen when he doesn't have the luxury of 5 legitimate targets to throw to.

You can't say Carr isn't legit because of his OL and then say that Prescott is...

Anyone who has seen the throws Carr makes knows he is legit.

Carr was in the MVP race until he hurt his leg.

You can trade Alex Smith with no contract penalty for any of these QBs.

Random selection.

Do you do it?

Except Dak has been balling out the moment he stepped foot into the league.

Just look at the team's total collapse when he went down for evidence of what he provides.
