And that's if they even will deal with Dorsey. I mean, they did fire him. They fired him, but if they have decided it’s Mahomes’ time and want to move Smith, if we can help them out, I’m sure they would take the draft pick.

I'm not giving up a top pick to borrow a QB for a year to magically do what Hoyer, McCown, RGIII, Garcia, Wallace, Campbell, Delhomme, Dilfer, etc... couldn't do. By the way that is me saying we have tried vet QBs in the past and it doesn't really do anything more than the young QBs do in terms of success. Sign one? Sure, whatever, but i'm not giving up draft capital for a temporary bandaid. There is a difference, Alex Smith is twice the QB than any of those guys mentioned. He is a Pro Bowler, lowest turnover rate in NFL and a playoff caliber QB. So you just want to keep throwing 21 year olds into the fire and rinse/repeat with 3-13 seasons?

Man you just went 1-31 in the last 2 seasons and you nitpicking a QB who can ONLY get you to the playoffs next season!?!? A 8-8 season next year would feel like we made the Super Bowl after sitting through the last 3 seasons. 1000% facts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bosko1616 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 The smartest thing we could do this year would be to stabilize the most unstable position we’ve had for the past decade. I’d trade 35,60,or 64 for Alex Smith. That would allow our #1 QB to sit for atleast a year hopefully 2-3 full years when we get rid of HUE. Honestly I’d trade for Smith and make him the highest paid QB for the next Two years with an option on the third year so he’s happy. Oh he’s average he’s this he’s that. Just stop. How can you be anything but happy about trading for a ProBowl QB with playoff experience. I’m multiple schemes while our franchise guy sits.

I wouldn't want Darnold to play immediately, and Smith would be my favourite choice for a vet to mentor him and actually play well at the same time.

That would be the smartest thing we've done since the return. This literally would be how you guarantee short term and long term success and most of all, an offensive identity.

hornbybrown Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Guys, are the Chiefs really moving on from Alex Smith after his best season ever? I doubt it, I think MaHomes is sitting for another season which won’t do him any harm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the Eagles have less cap space than Chiefs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok that makes sense but if he takes them deep into the playoffs they kind of have to find away to make the money work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason for them stunt their future another year, especially when they have a playoff roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buno67 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 KC wants to move on from Smith because of his contract more so than the rookie. Got a talent young kid, give him his shot and take the money saved to improve the team. They are betting that the rest of the team is good enough to carry Mahomes, where prior Smith was carrying the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hornbybrown Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I would absolutely love Smith mentoring Darnold or Rosen for a year, but still think there’s a good chance he stays. he is lighting up a good Titans D right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
