I'm starting to believe but early in the year, when we couldn't score more than 20, left me questioning his consistency. He certainly earned the right to improve on that consistency. That being said I'm all for drafting a young gunslinger and sticking him under AS wing.

Alex was the least of our problems this year. I believe he's good enough to win a SB. In the first half, most of our offensive problems were OL and WR related, plus no TE.

Yesterday, was mostly defense. We have problems there too clearly.

Last night you saw, that when our WR's caught the ball and got separation, Alex Smith is more than capable of looking great.

Yes.

When we first got him, I thought his upside was a more mobile and intelligent Matt Cassel. Battered fan syndrome, I guess.

As the season progressed, I though, Okay, maybe we've got a top half of the league QB. He is really intelligent, somewhat tough to bring down, and seems to always put the ball in the safe zone for the receiver to make a play yet not get intercepted.

Last night was a revelation. I came around full circle. He shook the game manager label, and played ****ing balls out. He chucked it, he took risks, he ran for firsts when he should have and made awesome throws on 3rd downs.

I think, if we are able to replicate the things that he did into next season and beyond, we will really be a SB contender.

I am comfortable crossing THE major need off of our checklist, at least for the next 3-5 years, based on the growth and talent I witnessed this season and last night.

The next major objective for this offense is to get playmakers; and I am confident that Andy knows what those look like and understands the importance of having.

The other reason I'm confident is that John Dorsey knows what good receivers look like and can identify them in the rough. Guys like Randall Cobb, Jordy Nelson, James Jones, Greg Jennings (a while back), so on and so forth... Dorsey WILL find us these guys.

Here's hoping it comes sooner, rather than later!

Yes. I never like the acquisition and always said Alex Smith may not lose you games but he won't win you many. I think that belief is now in question.

He is better than Cassel, and we should just be happy with making the playoffs and "playing good football!" /cp

Absolutely. I was pissed when they traded for him, I was unimpressed the first half of the year, I started coming around the second half of the year, and now I absolutely love him.

He is definitely good enough to win in the postseason. We should extend him draft mid/late round QBs in the meantime

Once I got over being pissed because weren't gonna draft a QB with the 1st overall pick I approached Alex Smith with an open mind. He won me over!

Yeah I'm not as bitter as I was....that DEEP ball to Avery yesterday was beautiful! For sure GIF worthy. He showed that he does have the ability to get the ball down field if given the opportunity.

In a perfect world, we would give him an extension through 2017 with options and groom Bray as he served as our backup.

I never doubted him because I saw what he did in the playoffs vs. the Saints. I love the kid. Lock him up.

Rep.

Early in the year, he was new in KC with new coaches/new offense and was getting used to the little bit of talent we had on O. I thought it was pretty clear that he would continue to improve throughout the season.

I like Smith before the season but I like him much better now. Smith wasn't the reason the Chiefs didn't advance...he's a great QB who has been clearly improving each year pver the last few years. He can be a SuperBowl winning QB
