Dorsey could have hired an up-and-comer as his next head coach - we could have went for it all. Instead, we have Hunt and Reid and a glorified director of scouting working under them, hoping that we can get a QB good enough to cover for Reid.
But Reid backers will just point to his regular season record. Yep. He beats a lot of bad and mediocre teams, that are 2/3 of who you play in the regular season.
I don't care about that. I want to go into New England or Pittsburgh in January thinking we might win. I want to see an AFC Championship game, at least, in year 5. I want a team that is credible to win the Super Bowl. A Reid/Smith team is not a credible threat even if the aging difference makers on defense hold up for another year. Mahomes is a few years away in a best case.
And we are still laying all our hopes on Reid becoming something he's never been.

Some of you really think winning in the NFL is just some walk in the park. What teams are going into New England in January and winning now? It's not happening. That doesn't dismiss how really great Andy Reid is as a head coach.
You also have no idea that Mahomes is a few years away. No one thought Dak was going to do what he did last year. Mahomes could be ready next year. You just don't know. But you'll certainly pretend to on this message board.
I'm thankful to have Andy Reid as the coach of this team. He's won 43 games in 4 years here. Not all of those wins were against bad/mediocre teams. What a ****ing narrative all of this is.
