First, it was Colin Kaepernick who stole his job when Smith finally found consistency in San Francisco. Landed in Kansas City, after five productive seasons in which he had four playoff trips, he was sent to Washington in order to allow Patrick Mahomes to be the starting quarterback.
But at this moment, would you blame the Chiefs front office?
After four regular season games, he already has 14 TDs and no interception and leads the best offense in the nation in points scored per game, with 36.3. Kansas City won all four games and obviously leads the (not-so-hard) AFC West.
