Smith's commitment is the right move





One of the reasons for the Kansas City Chiefs have not won a playoff in 20 years is that they failed to submit the correct long-term quarterback. If they didn't win a in the next five years, at least the quarterback of lack of commitment do not question. Made a bold move, Alex Smith, agree with him on a four-year contract, all kinds of media will be around $68 million. From the point of view of leadership, this is a step to them. Although Smith is not one of the great central defender of the NFL, he won enough, even in the playoffs. He is enough to put 378 yards and four touchdowns and guide his team to 44 points in last year's playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts, this is not his fault is the leader of the not enough to win. Long failed to lock Smith will leave they have repeatedly, the leader of the struggle, looking for a quarterback. It is not one who can reasonable acquisition in Smith's category. Several of the development of the central defender Tyler Bray and rookie Aaron Murray, but at this point is wishful thinking become like Smith is the production of a football quarterback.
$17 million in annual price tag is steep, no doubt about it. But this is the price of high quality starting quarterback. It is Any veteran quarterback and Matt Kassel category you looking straight at the person. Have too many times go along this road. This was the moment when they catch them. Now it's their job to playoff Smith - winning the quarterback, they happen to be coach Andy Reid had the history of central defender than they otherwise might not have him. Now you can continue to Smith important business of surrounding buildings. It is Pro Bowl defender Justin Houston in the final season of his contract. He insisted that failed to produce an extended from offseason practice. Available now. Fail to reach an agreement with the rockets, the leader is a free security through his own players, a move that they don't need to make with their quarterback. long-term contract carries some risk. It is Smith and his New Deal. But the bigger risk, in this case would set him free after this season. This will increase the possibility of another 20 years not the leader of the playoff win.
