ST. JOSEPH, MO. • Throughout the length and breadth of the NFL, there isn’t another quarterback situation quite like the one unfolding in Kansas City.
In Dallas, it’s totally Dak Prescott’s team what with Tony Romo retired.
In Chicago (Mitchell Trubisky), Cleveland (DeShone Kizer), and Houston (Deshaun Watson), there are young guns competing against inexperienced, unproven, or journeyman types.
Not so in Kansas City, where Alex Smith isn’t what you’d call a top tier QB. But he’s definitely in that next group — a two-time Pro Bowler who threw for a career-high 3,502 yards and completed 67.
