Come to Papa Mr Berry

If anything, this means they'll want to retain an AllPro caliber player on their defense to make up for the offense in transition mode.

so not sure how this makes Mr Berry more inclined to sign with us of all teams

Are you saying that the Chiefs are more likely to not re-sign Berry if they sign Romo?

 

Personally, I think I would prefer to re-sign Berry, keep smith and improve the offense in other ways.

Sorry, yes.  Why in the bloody blue hell would Eric Berry want to sign LONG TERM if his old, decrepit, expensive ass is their answer?

We have a LONG TERM answer at the most important position who just so happens to be an old frienemy.

Ok, thanks for the clarification.  Fwiw, I think Romo would be an improvement, albeit as you said, an expensive and injury prone one.  

 

I got to admit though, it would be interesting to see Romo and KC defeat Dallas next year.  I would have some fun with Cowboy fans.  :)

As long as Berry is in Black and Blue I hope they do!

Werid cause they are perfect for each other. Smith's contract isn't bad at all for this era, either.

If they move on from Smith, then some team that is just a decent QB away from contending is going to smartly grab him up. Smith isn't one of the elites, but he is a steady QB with a decent arm, good accuracy and surprising mobility.

If he were to hit the open market, he'd be besieged by offers from Cleveland, Jacksonville, Houston, the Jets, the Rams and maybe even his old team San Francisco. He's the kind of QB that a head coach can rely on to run the game and follow the plan, plus he's one of the smartest QBs in the league and can learn a playbook, even a difficult one, quickly. He's not a franchise QB but he is the kind who can keep a head coach's job safe until that franchise guy is landed.

Now if somehow he made it through all of that and Derek Anderson decided to call it a career, I'd throw an offer his way if I were DG to come and be Cam's back up.

Because he's no good.

No team will ever win a SB with Smith leading them. 

Reid is the QB whisperer and he barely got production from him.

[SOJA]

Well Chiefs are pretty much in win now mode so I don't see them trading up to draft a QB but this is still an interesting development

I was shocked to see how comparable Smith was to some of the other top QBs. Regardless of his shortcoming, Smith is a winner. I believe he's in the top five in wins over the last few years. I do see the big issue of the giant question- "Can he win the Superbowl?".... And aware of arm strength being very low. Still he doesn't have a bad TD:turnover ratio and he's a proven winner. Him in Andy's system is perfect. Something is up, if Andy doesn't want him.

Yet I heard that the Chiefs plan on moving on from Nick Foles. So away from Foles and Smith? That sounds like a recipe for the 2015 Eagles.
