As far as Trent Green goes, if you combine any Chiefs defense from the last couple of years with the offense from that 2002 or 2003 squad, we're probably talking about a team that at least gets the team to the AFC championship. All they ever needed was a defense that wasn't historically inept.

I don't think Alex Smith is even close to Trent Green, however.

Typical

Before the trade: I want no part of Alex Smith for even a third rounder

Right after the trade: meh, I'm starting to warm up to the trade.

A month later: I'm so glad we got Alex Smith when we could

A couple weeks before the draft: this guy looks better and better the more I imagine him in a Chiefs jersey


Thickening

The only thing that makes Smith bearable is that we are not tied to him like we were with Cassel. Smith is the "Missouri Compromise 2013" between Reid, Dorsey, and Hunt. He's not(hopefully)going to be or look completely inept out there and will give Charles some breathing space. When he starts to slide, I guarantee Dorsey will have a legit prospect ready to take over, and his name will NOT be Chase "I'm here to sell a few cheap seats" Daniel.

he watched the tape from 2012? and he spent 8 hours doing it and now he thinks Alex is more like rodgers than cassel?

ok bro.....


I really hope youre right, or at least pass the joint

No.

On your first point I agree, but that offense was a dream with Holmes, Roaf, Shields, Gonzalez. Trent Green was very good, so it was altogether outstanding. I was always a fan of Trent Green. But he wasn't a franchise QB. He could have done his thing for another 7 years and never would have even been a discussion for Hall of Fame. I want the superstar QB, nothing less.

And to those saying Alex Smith isn't even close to Trent Green - I'm not so sure. You put him on that 2003 team, assume he plays at his 2012 form...whose to say? Neither of them takes us to the promised land so I really don't care.

Cassel didn't sign his extension until mid July.

I'm sure....alex smith will never even come close to being the qb that green was

2 different animals

Smith will not be handed the keys, that I guara****ingtee you.

He's our guy.

Did you miss the part where we basically traded a first round pick to get him? And then Andy Reid confessed he's had man love for him for years? And said he is going to try to get Alex in the Hall of Fame?

yup, might as well go get your Alex Smith jerseys now people because he's not going anywhere for a LONG time.

I think I'd rather play hide the eel in the sphincter rather than read that....

Dude, if you think clark and Dorsey are going to just ease back and accept another Casselian effort, you are out of your goddamned mind.
