Meh. It isnt a bad deal. Smith at least is a vet that can step in right away and take command. For a 2-14 team, the Chiefs roster is surprisingly solid. Crennel just had zero control over the team.

Crennel was an awful coach.

But you look at the Chiefs and there is talent there, getting a QB to lead that talent is the right move.

Tony Moeake, Dwayne Bowe, Jamal Charles and Baldwin are nice pieces. They also got some playmakers on defense.

They`re immediately the second best team in their division because of this move.

They don't need a stopgap vet. They could have gotten someone cheap for that. Get a Ryan Mallett. Kirk Cousins. Someone who is possibly developmental for the future. Alex Smith is too fukking expensive. They're not seeing the Broncos next season and they have a pretty tough schedule despite finishing last. Hell, go get Matt Hasselbeck if it's THAT serious.

Anything was better than this. There's a reason why other teams need a QB just as bad and didn't even lift a finger for Alex Smith.

If not this year, you'll see the Chiefs take a QB next year. You guys handed Andy Reid the keys....at least let him do his thing first. You have to have some faith.

you dont give up basically a late first for him though when there werent many suitors and if the Niners didnt get a deal might have just relased him evnetually

Ehh, Arizona was willing to trade for him too.

Getting a good starting QB is hard to do, teams have been trying to do it for over a decade and couldn't.

A 2nd round pick is a complete unknown, Reid is a QB guy, he wanted a good QB more than the 34th pick.

I'll have to see the numbers before I go crazy, but if true I could see your frustration.

Not a Chiefs fan here. But I do like their team.

Here's the thing... the Chiefs have tried this same tactic for over 20 years... and have NOTHING to show it. Why are they being applauded for doing the same shyt again?

to be fair tho, like Ive said before, reid with a qb who isnt a flamethrower, actually calls a great, balanced WCO game.

chiefs have tons of talent, but they need leadership and coaching to gel. neither alex nor andy are leaders...

He's a backup..It doesn't matter that we were nowhere near your level. When you trade for a backup you are saying that someone's player who isn't good enough for them is good enough for your franchise.

He will flop here just like Bono & Grbac.

Yes, that's exactly what i`m saying. You were 2-14 and none of your QB's were as good as Alex Smith.

We are loaded with talent, and it's not like he isn't good enough for us, he is good enough to be a backup but we're not trying to fukk him over like that.

He's better than anything you had, that is a fact. Be happy.

Didnt' they just do this same shyt with ol' boy whose coaching for Pittsburgh now (can't remember his name :heh:) and Cassell? Smith has had 1.5 good years as a glorified game manager. Reid for all his QB guru acclaim has only truly gurued one QB towards greatness and has a penchant for fukking up in big games/moments. This should be fun. :youngsabo:.

If so they're idiots.

When you're 2-14 and there's barely a QB worth a 1st round selection, you have to find an upgrade elsewhere.

There's only 5-6 great QB's and they're never made available. Sometimes you have to take a good one and build.

Based upon? Cassell has had a couple nice years too and that's all Alex has on his 8 year resume.

Im sorry thats a terrible trade from any angle I look. Im a big believer in picks and potentially two second rounders for alex is just retarded
