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.

Well, it would certainly explain his massive regression from the 2015 season and it's true that teams certainly attempt to hide these types of injuries.

But, it also kind of sounds like an excuse.

I guess we'll see soon enough...

Alex Smith got a pretty normal QB contract. We won a playoff game so the Smith era was worth it. And now we can get out of his contract next year with almost no cap harm at the same time that Mahomes should hopefully be ready to be the guy. I don't think it was a bad contract at all. I don't think Alex can take us to the next level and I'll gladly move on, but if Mahomes becomes a good QB, I won't regret the Alex Smith era.

I want to move on from Alex Smith as much as the next guy. But it was important to get the playoff win monkey off their back. The Chiefs had a losing culture for so long that nobody wanted to play here. Under Alex Smith, the franchise stabilized from chaos and that included 1 or 2 years where he got knocked around behind a shitty OL. Maybe the Chiefs should have found a rookie QBOTF sooner, but I have no will against Alex Smith or his contract.

I'm sure franchises like Denver would be satisfied with 1 playoff win in 4 seasons.

This must be the "ruining of football discussion" I keep hearing so much about from the pampered ass crowd.
