Hopefully Alex Smith takes moped driving lessons from Percy Snow in the offseason.

These people hoping he's going to be gone will be disappointed.

The minute the Chiefs won the division he was guaranteed to return.

Just don't give him another contract.

The last thing this fan base needs to debate over is whether 35-year old Alex Smith can win a Super Bowl.

"He can still scramble a little."

"Just need to lean on the running game."

"D needs to step up."

Christ.

Smith is going to get an extension. Just go ahead and accept that reality because it's happening.

I agree with the title of this thread plus I think the Chiefs should move on from Andy Reid and Bob Sutton.

I want a new regime in place that's young and will provide sound overall coaching with good player development, good game planning and sound in game decision making/adjustments.

I'm convinced Chiefs will never win with Andy Reid, Alex Smith and Bob Sutton. They're just too damn conservative and lack logic. How can any franchise win anything when it's leaders are fear dominant and ignorant? Fear and ignorance are the enemy of success and the Chiefs reek of that!

Draft and develop a quarterback and get a new coaching regime with smarts and balls.

The NFL today guys is about finding that right QB-coach chemistry. Why do you think the Patriots win all the time? Because they got the best QB-coach chemistry that no other franchise or team could match.

We just have to accept that they're better and until Brady-Belicheck are gone, Chiefs ain't winning. The strategy stated above, is to prepare this team 3, 4 years ahead from now.

*Imo, the Chiefs have a core. They should keep that intact and re-sign guys like Berry, Poe, DJ. Pittsburgh proves that keeping your team nucleus intact is a remedy for success. Chiefs should follow that sort of bluebrint. And yeah meanwhile explore and go through that journey of finding that franchise QB via draft and possibly find that young upcoming coach through the collegiate ranks that will someday make an excellent coach in the NFL? I think this is the Chiefs best option for success. Question is, is this franchise capable of being that schrewd by finding those hidden gems? I don't have the confidence or belief that they are.

My feeling is that he won't. Reid was more inclined to trade McNabb than extend him when it was clear he was done as an NFL starter.

Smith toed that line this year. Usually when NFL QBs are about ready to fall off a cliff, a small decline is followed by a precipitous drop the next season. Doesn't always happen to guys at the same age. Some can stave it off til their late 30s, others it happens around 33/34.

We saw a drop in TDs, a major drop in rushing yards, an uptick in turnovers, and two more concussions throw into the mix.

33-year old Alex, a step slower, a tick more cautious, thinking more of his health and family than glory and football....it's coming.

Reid will see the writing on the wall and move on. Especially with a QB far less productive than McNabb ever was.

Emotional post not grounded in logic or evidence.

Alex Smith wasn't the issue last night. Neither was Reid. Neither was Sutton. The Chiefs couldn't run the ball and they couldn't stop the run. No amount of scheming is going to change that.

You can scheme and coach all you want, but you have to win your 1v1 battles. If you can't do that nothing else matters. Players have to play.

Kelce has to catch the ****ing ball.
Poe and the interior line can't get pushed back off the snap.
Jah Reid can't get blown past and beaten badly like that.
West can't drop the ball while running.

The O-line hasn't won the battle up front in the running game all ****ing season.

I agree. Dorsey has proven that he knows talent. Reid has proven that he'll praise and praise and praise his Qb to the media, but has never been shy about making a change.

They haven't extended Smith yet. He's now on a prove it deal.

The Steelers made the Chiefs one-dimensional last night and it's not like it was hard. They haven't been able to run all season.

The Chiefs were exactly who they've always been, and it still took a flukey holding call to lose.

Just draft and develop a guy and I wouldn't be that upset with seeing Alex go another year or 2. The fact this franchise is so dead set against that just plain sucks.

So who is ultimately responsible for the OL? Of course it is on Reid. 4 years, same system, same coaches and same sh**** results.
Pats OL got ran out of Denver last year in the AFCCG. They fired their OL coach, coaxed the great Scarnecchia back and look how it has looked all of this season. With Reid it is always the patented "its on me, we will look at the tape and fix issues.".

It wasn't that the Chiefs couldn't run the ball. They didn't bother trying

Dorsey and Andy should sit down and watch the game films and make a decision based on that. Not the team record. If they do that he will not be extended.

Sorry have to spread some rep around first :)

I hate to say this, but I can totally see Tyrod Taylor being signed if/when Buffalo releases him. I can see Andy wanting him for his scheme.

Here's the play that pissed me off all night last night. JFC this is embarrassing.

And yes I realize this is Clay. He was the only one that has the all 22 at the moment
