Which is basically what I was trying to say. And this has been exacerbated so far this season.

No 30 plus years of this crap.

Awesome 3rd & 1 play call Andy! :facepalm:

That play got two guys open. One for a potential big gain.

Honestly, if Alex hits Jamaal sooner he probably takes that for a decent gain. That LB squared up would have had a tough time bringing JC down in the open field.

Yes. We wouldn't have a choice but if they took one in the first I'll have a street parade.

We are done. Fix it Clark.

Done with Viagra cure.

Typically, those are the people that are afraid of drafting QBs, and are bound to be the first ones who grow impatient of any struggles our drafted QB may have.

I say open competition, rook wins, rook plays.

Open competition? From Andy Reid?

You are mistaken Smith had massive amounts of time vs the Bears and the 2nd most amount of time in the league vs GB

I want to see us draft a QB.

Then I want to see Alex suck.

Then I want to see the looks on his face when he gets pulled for that QB and rots on the bench for the rest of the year.

I want to see him eat shit. FOR WEEKS.

Yes. It is the HUGE danger I see in starting anyone else the rest of the season.

No benefit in starting chase unless he's a true Qbotf. If he succeeds, the chiefs may think about extending him, which doesn't fix the problem. If he or Murray fails, the organization will say "see? Alex doesn't have enough weapons."

Alex is here next year no matter what. His contract becomes friendlier to get rid of after next year. Who knows, maybe by midway through next year on he becomes trade bait and we get something back.

Pussies don't get the living shit kicked out of themselves to the point of rupturing internal organs and keep going back out.

I think that Smith has become detrimental to himself and the team in that he knows that there is a fine line being walked in terms of game time decisions on both sides of the ball that require him to not make any mistakes.

This leads to overly conservative play which in and of itself leads to mistakes. He's holding onto the ball too long which leads to protection issues that aren't necessarily the offensive lines fault. He's regularly throwing behind receivers because he's tying to make sure that they are in the right route. (Did this numerous times yesterday.)

They need to sit him. Give him a couple of games to refocus and get his head back together and see what they have in Daniel and Murray. Smith is an intelligent player with good mechanics and game understanding who would be a good tutor/mentor to a rookie for the next year or two.

But they have to really focus on making that a real thing right now. Dorsey's army of scouts should be told right now to comb through potential QB players for the next two drafts getting as much information and film on them as possible. Start some deep, hard work on the position immediately.

So, in a nutshell, yes, I'd be willing to tolerate Smith at QB for the next two seasons if the team were showing that they were putting in the necessary work to get a guy in who would be the QBOTF in the next two drafts.

nobody plays QB with more fear than Smith...it's why he's the 32nd ranked qb in the league

he is literally afraid to throw the ball

he is afraid of the pass rush, that's why he stares at it rather than scan the field

he's got no cojones...it's why he's terrible, embarrassing to watch...this QB of our golden era

and 2 more years? holy shit, you have lost it
