Boring 10 or 11 win seasons are very profitable.

Which is precisely why it shouldn't be supported. (Thank fucking God someone, somewhere, in some room said enough and we were able to draft Mahomes.)

Yes. The support vs justification is rice paper thin.

Now? No, because they finally got there and even won one. But after 30 years of playoff disappointments, you're fucking right my enjoyment of football hinged on the end result.

I've seen 2 or 3 dozen 10 win seasons since I became a fan. They're more fun than 4-win seasons but that doesn't mean they're even close to winning a championship. Not even in the same hemisphere actually.

Reid said at his press conference that if he wants to get into coaching, he has first dibs. Mahomes has been really cool to Alex about giving him props about understanding how to read defenses and play the QB at the NFL level. No way it was just him saying nice things about the previous guy while he took his job.

The was nothing even remotely fun about it. I don't have any ill will towards Alex Smith, the man, or even the football player, as long as he's playing for someone other than the Kansas City Chiefs.
The home playoff loss to Tennessee was the last straw for me on Alex. I think he's a really good person, but I'm glad he's no longer our starting QB.

I'm sure Mahomes is sincere, and I'm sure that Alex was nothing but class about the whole situation.

All comments about his level of play aside, Alex Smith is a quality person with a high football IQ.

Lot of butthurt Alexsexual energy in this thread. DO we have to hear how great his career was and how much money he made and how hot his wife was?



Fuck all alexians. Period.

He will forever be "what could have been." The Niners did a good job ruining him early on. Not sure if he would have done better elsewhere though. He's way too cautious.

not really but i didn't have that much fun watching him throw 5 yard passes to the flat and tight ends
KNOWING what the end result would be ahead of time...and never being able to convert 3rd downs...

By the time he started even trying to go deep (his last season or so with KC), it was too late and we had already drafted mahomes.

So while my enjoyment doesnt HINGE on the result...my enjoyment is affected if
I know the end result before the season even starts.

Exactly. There were maybe a couple of guys (trolls) doing that but by and large no one REALLY was doign that.

In fact most of even the die hard Alex Haters acknowledged and accepted Mahomes riding the bench that 1st season.

I honestly don't remember this Alex Smith guy but I'm glad he's happy

This makes zero sense to me. We nearly missed mahomes and had to trade up to get him, because we were middle of the road (17th pick) and we had to trade up to the 11 spot to get him.

Without Smith we might not have needed to trade to get him...

Can you explain the logic of why we needed a better QB to get a higher draft pick?
