OP, in summary, this thread came 1-2 years too early. But one day you'll get to look back and say 'hey, I was right'

It's simple really. Good enough to get minimum 8 regular season wins - which will keep butts in the seats and the parking lot full - but not good enough to realistically do anything serious in the playoffs.

And keep their jobs.

It's different because I(EYE), Iowanian DO NOT cheer for or get sad when Cleveland loses because their qb is substandard.

Cleveland gets their best guy since Kosar, I don't have to watch Alex Smith playing cowardly lion quarterback. Win-Win.

Alex Smith stands in the pocket like Dorothy is about to smack him with her purse.

Decades?

LMAO

Alex Smith it not the best QB the Chiefs have had in decades. Good God.

At this point, I am okay with Alex leaving, if for no other reason than it will get rid of dumb-asses like Tiger, who are just Alex fans and not Chiefs fans.

Chiefs will not win anything with Alex, so whether he is with the team next year or not simply does not matter.

Keep Alex or Foles to start and mind the store. Cut Bray. Draft 2 QB's in the upcoming draft and let's see what happens.

Andy always wanted Alex, even before Dorsey was hired. It's Andy's call

Don't worry Tiger, I got this....
"Your football takes suck"

Smith shoulders a fair share from yesterday. There are enough other things that happened that the ultra pro Smith crowd will use as excuses. He got little help. We couldn't run the ball and some huge drops. That's why I have a hard time being mad at some obvious bad calls by the refs. If the chiefs offense shows up at all we win the game. They disappeared for 2.5 quarters. Alex missing wide open hill multiple times didn't help.

Problem is we don't have many options. There isn't a likely upgrade available.

There were receivers open down field all night. Not just once or twice. The one that I keep coming back to would have been an easy 6. Presnap, there was a linebacker covering Hill.... How do you not audible to a hot route, and get him the ball 2 seconds after the snap? How do you not even look that way during the play? Then all of a sudden, that TD on the final drive is a game clinching drive.

I think that fine from a business perspective and I absolutely appreciate what Smith has done for the Chiefs by bringing the franchise out of the abyss.


But it's time to move on. They are not progressing. They are stagnant.

Andy will give up buffets before he gives up Alex.


Prepare for Cassel Part II: The Forced QB Redux.

It's not his call. Maybe his desire but not his call. Dorsey has final say in players and the experience with scouting and QBs to make it. He should tell Andy we are moving on.

You mean Chris Ballard should tell Andy they are moving on?


Ha.
