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.

Thanks. I believe we also passed on Brees the FA when we had a need at QB

It is what it is, but this team needs to make a move to get a front line starter groomed to take over in 2 years, or sooner.

These guys (Reid and Dorsey) were brought in to win a championship.

No excuses.
Not pulling the trigger on Dak or Russell Wilson will be two of the biggest mistakes this franchise made in this decade.

"But there's no Andrew Luck in this draft"

That's what everyone has said every year since the guy was drafted and the phrase gets dumber and dumber every year. Not one of those guys quoted were "Andrew Luck" caliber prospects.

I was SCREAMING for them to take Russell Wilson in the third round in 2011. Then....Donald Stephenson, only to see Wilson go to Seattle with the very next pick. ****ing hell.

But let's be honest here - if Wilson had come here, Pioli wouldn't have given a chance to rattle the confidence of Pro Bowler Matt Cassel. Wilson would have been our #3 QB, if not buried on the practice squad for that very reason.

Brees (Green)
Brady
Rodgers (DJ)
Flacco (Dorsey/Albert)
Wilson
Prescott
Carr/Bridgewater
Cousins

KC passed on the opportunity to draft every one of these guys since 99

Wilson got the start his rookie year over a FA veteran who hadn't proven shit like Cassel. I agree that Pioli would likely have buried him on the depth chart for his Patriot Way bullshit but Tyler Palko and Brady Quinn ended up starting at one point or another. It would have been so awesome to have Russ waiting in the wings in those days.

It's looking that way, but at least they tried. It also helps that they have Siemian who is already a better QB than Alex Smith. I also believe 100% that John Elway would use another 1st round pick on a QB this year if he felt the right guy was there. He's not afraid to grab a guy when the opportunity presents itself, unlike the Chiefs.

Sadly, this is true until proven otherwise. With the legit picks that KC has passed on, it is most certainly not a matter of "nothing good available".

The short answer is, yes. If they draft Mahomes or Webb.
