Consider that Eli Manning has helped the Giants win the SB in both 2007 and 2011, but here's the thing that keeps going unnoticed:
HE WAS NOT DRAFTED BY THE GIANTS -- HE WAS TRADED TO THEM BY SD AND I DON'T GIVE A F--- IF HE WAS TAKEN #1 OVERALL. UNLIKE GENO, HE WAS PROJECTED TO BE TAKEN #1 OVERALL. ALSO, THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES WHATSOEVER THAT SD WOULD HAVE WON ANY SB'S IF MANNING HAD STAYED WITH SD.
Therefore, give Alex Smith the same chance as you would any QB that they could take in the upcoming draft. Since Alex Smith is on board, the top priority is to protect him & get their O-Line back to a level excellence they once had from 2002 -- 2005. Branden Albert has chosen to go hump his neighbors dog in drama-queen fashion, instead of seriously wanting to become a part of that. I don't care if he said he wants to be in KC, as his actions have CLEARLY contradicted that & he's not a top 10 LT, anyway. It's time to cut ties with him, turn the page, and move on.
Don't tell me the Chiefs don't need to draft a Tackle like Joeckel or Fisher, when it's blatantly obvious that they do. Regardless of whether Albert stays in 2013 or gets traded, he doesn't factor into that equation & John Dorsey has already said as much.
