I always support the team, the difference is I want what's best for the franchise. I am sick of the rinse, wash and repeat actions this franchise does with every new regime. Look at my posts when Reid and Dorsey were hired, I was thrilled! The sad thing is this regime is STARTING OFF EXACTLY like the last, the comparisons so far are beyond comprehension. The problem is we never learn from our mistakes, if we did there would be some type of change, there never is. I will man up when I am wrong, if Alex Smith comes here and is top 10 in ypg, rating and touchdowns I will leave the board forever. Sadly, I don't see that happening.
When did Pioli trade for Alex Smith?
If you compare the QBs traded for just by the numbers sure they are very comparable. BUT you CAN'T IGNORE the situation they were in.
Cassel 1st year playing Bill Belchick coaching Randy Moss Wel Welker to throw to.
Smith Mike Nolan coaching Arnaz Battle Brandon Lloyd to throw to.
Tell me theres 1 qb out there who would prefer Smith's situation to Cassel's there
Cassel moved on to play in KC had Haily as coach D Bowe to throw to
Smith got Mike Singletary as coach had Vernon Davis to throw to who Singletary sent off the field and went on a rant on how you cant win with him.
When Smith got a good head coach he did took a team farther then Matt Cassel ever did
THIS IS FAR From starting the same

This regime is similar to the last one, this is a previous post I made back in March.
In 2009, we traded the 34th overall pick for a game manager QB with a limited skillset.
In 2013, we traded the 34th overall pick for a game manager QB with a limited skillset.
In 2009, we wasted the 3rd overall pick on a valueless postion.
In 2013, we're likely going to waste the only #1 overall pick we've ever had on a valueless position. (RT)
In 2009, we signed a bunch of "low-B" and "C" tier FA's while difference makers went to other teams.
In 2013, we've signed a bunch of "low-B" and "C" tier FA's and not a single difference maker.
I will admit that Alex Smith didn't have great coaching the pre-harbaugh days, but even with tremendous coaching with Harbaugh and a stacked team he still has huge question marks. No matter what coach his averages in ypg, attempts per game, qb sacks, 3rd down %, just absolutely awful. Never did he average better than 25th in third down percentage and his health is a concern. I have not felt good about this since the start.
Now you're saying o line is valueless LOL
Did you not see our o line last year at the end. 10 sacks in 2 games given up WE NEEDED O LINE HELP AND GOT IT. How is that valueless?
And getting b and c guys isn't always bad have you not seen the "dream team" Eagles? How about all the money Dallas spent in the uncapped year loading up on free agents. How did that work out for them?

If Albert stays it is. It's valueless because you are spending the number 1 pick in the ENTIRE draft on a right tackle. I believe we need interior line help, the tackle position is fine.
I'm not talking about loading your team with FA, but why not a difference maker here or there? The B and C FA didn't help us very much the past 4 seasons. I believe in building through the draft and it sounds like you and the rest of chiefs nation is as well, which is ironic considering most are for trading picks to get Alex Smith.
