The Chiefs have no QB controversy, but is that the right way for them to go?

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Alex Smith gives the Kansas City Chiefs a proven, experienced, steady and accomplished presence at quarterback. He won more than two-thirds of his regular-season starts in four seasons in Kansas City and helped stabilize what had been a shaky position for the Chiefs for years before his arrival.

Rookie Patrick Mahomes II would provide the Chiefs none of that as the starting quarterback. He would be, to some extent, an unknown quantity at a most important spot.

But, if nothing else, Mahomes proved through a stellar preseason that he has uncommon skills.
