The guts and Super Bowl ring Rodgers possesses speak too, they say:

"Sandy Cheeks, shut the **** up".

What are you talking about? Rodgers played one bad game in that 2010 Super Bowl run. Every other game was a multi-TD, no INT effort.

I'm thinking steelers game too.

We're contemplating heading to green bay, but damn, I dunno about dropping that coin.

apparently missed the TWO Pro Bowl wideouts he was pitching to also.

.. original point taken though. (being not supported by a grand run game.. but just showing that other Pro Bowl factors can compensate... as well as AR being coddled into greatness )

Poor Alex, he's just been treated so badly by the NFL.

I have no idea what your useless dumb ass is talking about.

Meh.. at least the money's been good. Hmmmm.... money. :)

Sounds good. Carry on then. :thumb:

Not to mention 8.4 YPA or 28 TDs. Total lack of credibility, honesty and objectivity.

I'm in the same boat with the GB game. I'd love to go, for the life experience and all, but all in all I'm not sure we can justify the expense with other things we want to do this year.

The Steelers game would be great, especially being I think it's a probable win...it's at the time we can drive back and not disrupt the kids school and it should be a great atmosphere.

I agree with this article 100%. This is year 3...they've got him the perfect #1 WR and starting TE. Top 5 defense. I've seen Smith play excellent in big games...he has the ability. If he doesn't put it all together this season...then there are no excuses left.

Dorsey is pragmatic enough to know exactly what's going on...It's why they have 4 QBs.

Totally agree with this narrative. If Alex Smith plays well this year then bravo. If he plays substandard I don't want to hear the excuses. Make decisions and play with confidence. You have a lot of play makers so trust them? Start playing to ****ing win!

Just for the sake of argument, Alex had 8ypa and was on pace for 26tds in 2012 while leading the NFL in comp %.

Any way you slice it, Rogers numbers in 2010 were better than anything Smith ever put up even in his best year. That is not Alex-like would be typical Alex numbers.

Alex-like numbers are 3000 yards, 6.6 YPA, and fewer than 20 TDs.

I expect >4000 yards, 8 YPA and 28 TDs this year. That is a reasonable expectation given his situation.

What else would you expect from that crowd?

I think you meant <

Alex could have Calvin, Dez, Maclin, Gronk and Kelce and would probably still fall short of 4000 yards.

It's like the scorpion and the frog fable. Only instead of the scorpion stinging the frog and dooming them both, it's Alex checking down and only recording 3300 yards.

No, this year I expect greater than 4000 yards. Eleven QBs threw for more than 4000 yards last season. It's not a big deal any more.

Wouldn't have shocked me.

I'm sorry but this is an incredibly stupid statement.

The past two years he threw for 3300 in 15 games averaging around 220 per game... Thats about 3500 yards per season with the bulk of his receiving corps not even being on NFL teams anymore... You dont think he can throw for 30 more yards a game with all of those guys. ROFLROFLROFLROFLROFL

I'll gladly eat my own words if Smith slings fire but I don't see it happening.

And yes, I was probably hyperbolic with my statement earlier. Smith could probably bang out 3800 yards with all those guys.

That gif is magical

Alex Smith is to 4000 yards, as Jared is to 18 year olds

Duly noted.

If you spend 11 years in this league with all of them being the "new" NFL, you need to hit 4,000 yards at least once or you ain't shit.

How about a bug instead? That seems to be the going rate around here for malcontents looking to right their negativisms in the eyes of their peers here on CP.

:clap: ....except this year it's a shit sandwich

That first video is a big time pass...so he obviously has the ability to do it. I think this is the dichotomy with him... and his past has been one of intense scrutiny on bad teams. He should have led the 49ers to a SB..that's not on him. It's kind of fascinating..the bad luck he has had...if you consider "luck' something that isn't quantified in dollars. All the hate on him..I really want to see him succeed. He's a humble guy..if it doesn't happen...he still has had a charmed life.

This is his shot....his whole career path has manifested to this point. At least KC has my attention...I haven't been this optimistic since 2003.

Yeah, I bet not.

Also, I got a kick out of him using the term noodle-arm. Can't imagine where he picked that one up from. LMAO

Pretty common term actually.

Eh, I only see it here but then again, I don't leave here. :thumb:

This isn't fantasy football, so Bob Dole doesn't give a **** how many yards he puts up. Wins.

It's like half the board has forgotten that is the objective.

Mellinger is delusional.

The excuse has already been laid.

"Alex doesn't have Trent Green's line from 2003. How can he POSSIBLY be productive"!?

If this fan base as a whole ever pulled it's head from it's ass, the sky would probably rain frogs.

It seriously takes suicides and Hitler in the FO to get these morons to acknowledge or do anything about anything. The prediction this year per most sources, is another round of 9/7. And you know what? Lil' Chiefy will call it golden.

Idiots.

You should probably see a shrink for your anger issues. Must suck to go around being pissy all the time. If this sport really does this to you, you should probably find another hobby. And to add real-life issues to the mix. 2 tumors removed in 13 months and I'm excited about this season. Call me a homer, I don't give a ****. Things can always be worse. Yes, I played the cancer card. Bite me.

3 things :

1. Alex was NOT a backup. He was a starter for many years.
2. Alex is NOT a boring name. It has an X in it. How many names have X in it?
3. 79% completions if Bowe doesn't drop so many passes.

Dude, really...just stop.

The same ****ing thing over and over and over.

The Mellinger article and subsequent takes in this thread are the most objective I've seen on the situation and yet here you come, waddling into the conversation with the same negative mantra you've espoused ad nauseam.

It's your schtick. I get it. But it's old.

And you can be a good, funny poster.

Let it go.

Wins? Alex is 10-12 in his last 22.

9-0 before that. Stop cherry picking.

9-0 stretch had little to do with Alex.

Sure protected that football. Still the biggest difference in winning regular season games

Can't have it both ways dude. I'm gonna start calling you hannity because your views never consider the other side.

It's a disgust issue. The Chiefs well-being or the lack thereof have little to do with my life.

Dear Chiefs, address the ****ing 40 year elephant, and I'll "let it go".

You're daaamn right/#Isaac Hayes

...and you used to be the Boba Fett dough boy.

and today?

Today I throw my balls down the field.

Alex still checks down.

If Alex was really this stalwart "proven winner" like his fans want to believe he is, articles written about how he has to prove something wouldn't be coming out.

We're 0-0 at the moment. Stop being a stupid troll.

This is a damned good point. The issue wouldn't even ****ing exist.

That's because we're being written as a possible Super Bowl team. For that "possible" to become reality, we all know what Alex needs to do...and it's not much.

I think the upgrade in talent on offense will help him be more aggressive.

We cut 4 of our receivers from last year. Don't overlook the FACT that 3 of our receivers from last year are now completely out of the NFL and the other isn't even a starter in Cleveland. We also cut 3 linemen from last years team...don't underplay how guys like Linkenback, McGlynn and Harris sucked out loud against any decent pass rusher.

Think about that for a minute before you respond, because if it's some nonsense, nobody wants to hear it.

Yeah, he only needs to take the 25th ranked offense and make it championship caliber. ROFL

12th in points per drive.

Remember when we all knew that Kendrick Lewis and Dunta Robinson we're gonna hurt us?...then they did and we cut them and improved drastically by going from them to a guy that hadn't played football for 2 years and a converted corner to safety guy, while losing Berry to a high ankle sprain and cancer...but the secondary was still ok because they didn't have multiple huge weakness players..

Well, look at this list...

Linkenbach
McGlynn
Harris
Bowe
Hemmingway
Jenkins
Avery

THOSE GUYS ARENT COMING BACK

Now, look at this list

Maclin
Grubbs
Morse
Conley
LDT
Wilson
Avant

That's the list of guys that are stepping in for the previous list of complete losers.

This team is just about all out of "Kendrick Lewis's" dude.

It's Alex's time to shine.

Sit back and enjoy.

This is the first time that we've had even above average receivers for Alex Smith.

Only time we've had a decent Oline for him was during that 6 games when Schwartz was moved to RG.


It does make a difference

Owned

ROFL

You have Avant, Morse, Conley, Wilson and ****ing LDT on this amazing list.

That's a has been and a bunch of nobodies.

...when was our last sub .500 record?

The last 22 games we played.

ironically, nobody is throwing it back.

https://s.yimg.com/lo/api/res/1.2/b0...127bb3e1c2d011

I don't give a shit about your bullshit statistic.

If this team is bottom third in yards again, as they have been for two years running, there will be no playoffs.

uh huh.

you've got nothing.

Don't make it personal, idiot. You're better than that.

22 games is pretty significant.

funny how there are no 22 game records.

SD and Clay ARE the smartest guys in the room.

True pioneers of the NFL.

it's not personal. you put it out there.

It is. We were talking Chiefs, you brought up me.

Stop being a dick.

I tired to give a compliment, you compared yourself to Alex.

....wear that slipper, Spinderella.

You're full of shit.

...so is comparing yourself to Smith.

If that's what you honestly think, I don't know if anyone can help you anymore.

Every one of those guys I listed is an upgrade to what we had last year.

ESPECIALLY the guys that were here last year like Wilson and Thomas.

You brought me up.

You.

Thanks for that. Dick.

Dick? check yourself.


I brought up the fact that you can't predict someones future based on their past.

Now who is getting personal? pretty funny that you thin you're above scrutiny, when 90% of you posts are scrutinizing one player.

Dick? check yourself.

Yep. You're a dick. And a hypocrite.

Have a great day, you fake Christian. Jesus would be ****ing appalled at your behavior.

I don't need to be the smartest. Being observant is enough.

In this case, you pretty much can.

Mellinger and just about everyone will do a complete 180 on this sentiment before the month ends.

Alex Smith is gonna shit all over Clay this year.

I hope he doesn't take it personal.

I predicted that the movie theater shooter is going to have a bad rest of his life.

So far I'm right!

He'll be shitting on this entire fanbase.

If AS does have a career year, I fully expect him to make himself scarce.

The Chiefs offense was good those games in 2013 with Schwartz in there. Some games, really good.

There is so much that goes into having a successful passing attack in today's NFL. If this offensive line plays well, I have no doubt that will have a top 10 offense in the league. There is a reason Reid loves Smith and it's pretty simple -- he can execute the offense Andy Reid wants to run.

How many teams last year had as bad of a combination of O-line and WR as we did last year? Not many, yet we managed to be a respectable 17th in yards per offensive snap.
