The Alex Smith Deep Ball Myth:

He's a Bob Dole mult.

May I ask why?

2015 was the true 'shit or get off the pot' season with Alex for me. I said to start the year that he needed to establish that he could be the starting QB for a winning team. Good news - he actually shit. He proved he can be the QB for a consistent winner.

Then the team took note of some obvious roster holes, dealt with them and got him a better supporting cast. It was time for him to prove that he could take the next step forward.

Instead he spent most of the season sputtering. He didn't take a step forward. I'll listen to arguments that he didn't regress (I disagree, but there are arguments to be made), but he definitely didn't improve.

He's not going to know the offense any better. He's not going to get more physically capable. The absolute BEST you'll see from Alex Smith is what you got from him this season and frankly I saw plenty of signs to suggest that you won't get that.

I just don't feel like we can count on that being good enough. For me, I'd just run Foles out there and see if we can learn something new because there's nothing else to find out about Alex Smith unless it's bad news.

25 minimum. And again, that game wasn't all on Smith, but if we are being honest, those guys would have made big throws on that defense for 4 quarters.

With all sincerity. I would attempt this throw, even with harrison on his way... how tf can he can see that as a TD or an incomplete AT WORST. He can even toss it to the left of Hill to avoid any potential pass break up. Disgusting.

Los Angeles *lol* are gonna be trash again, Denver still have an average offense and defense is strong but beatable and the raiders are on the rise. I think the position should be open but having Alex during the reg season can at least guarantee a seat in the playoffs. I'm not sure it's the right time to change leadership unless the next guy is polished enough to do the job. The division is more open than it's been since when? Put Smith on a tight leash, make it publicly known, give Foles some big looks during practice and preseason, draft a earlier round QB and keep it going.

I had already posted this thing in 2 threads otherwise I was going to post it in the 'who would you replace Smith with' thread and answer "Me....because even I would've let this ball go...."

Seriously, I'm as gobsmacked by that play as I've ever been by any play. In any sport. Ever.

I've seen guys throw behind the winning run at 3b. I've seen defensemen put pucks into their own open nets. I've seen guys shoot at the wrong basket. I've seen a lot of things in a lot of different sports that all had me less agape than watching Alex Smith stare at the fastest man in football as he drew even with a mediocre defensive back who was standing stock stick and still elected not to throw the football.

There is absolutely nothing about that play that I can wrap my mind around. I've seen one proposed answer (he was throwing to Kelce) and I don't see it - dude was staring right at Hill.

I'd replace Alex Smith with the first quarterback available that will make THAT throw. Which is pretty much every single one of them.

He's the 3rd winningest QB in the NFL." Dah dah dah. The Chiefs are the winners. Alex limps along with them. Get a ****ing clue about the game of football and some people might take you serious. It's obvious you've never played, and if you have it certainly wasn't past Pop Warner.
