They should have made a hard play for him when he was leaving SF. Now is not the time. I would be really disappointed in the organization were this to happen. ....the OBD braintrusts and Masters of Quarterback Assessment & Development deemed him a "lateral move from Fitzy" and passed......

Scott7975 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Well I don't know if this dude has a source or is just really good at putting together some educated guesses. Some of this could make pretty good sense. Unless Mahomes is completely terrible, I cant see KC keeping Smith next season. Likely he will get traded or cut. Smith carries a 20+ mil cap hit next year but only like 3.6 mil dead cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was merely responding to the OP's comment (the one you responded to) about McDermott having this much power. I think it is too early to tell whether or not it was a smart move to make him this strong. In some ways, McDermott reminds me of Levy which is a tad unsettling. But he sure is 100x better than Rex, rookie mistakes notwithstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please read my previous posts and tell me what I have posted have not come true? Prove me wrong please. It is so disappointing. At some point one bills drive will figure out the leak but until then I will share what I know. If you think this is bs, why do you read my posts and spend time saying they are bs without any facts. Again, what have I posted to date that has not been 100% accurate? Where is ESPN reporting Smith to Buffalo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at Bills history, the second best QB we've ever had may be Kelly's backup, Frank Reich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
