This is not true. A lot of us would be more than happy with our own Joe Flacco.

The problem is the idiots who support whatever retread of the month the franchise is currently suckling. They will tear down anyone who's not a hall of famer (like Flacco) in order to prop up said retread.

For ****'s sake, we had idiots on here last year saying Alex Smith was better than Ben Roethlisberger.

LOLZ

Since when is this place cool with a QB getting 49% of his completions from passes to WRs and a Yards Per Attempt under 7.0 ?

That is Flacco from 2011 to present

Must resist urge for name change to Strawman...

Why must you resist the urge? Don't resist it.

My point stands.

Thanks for further solidification.

I don't believe that for a second.

What do you expect people to do? Not buy tickets because you don't like Alex Smith? Refuse to watch the Chiefs on TV, even though they've had two back-to-back winning seasons in 20 years?

Your so-called "standards" are way too high for the common fan. Most people just want to enjoy their 16 Sundays of football, hang out with friends, eat food and see a winning football team.

Playoffs and Super Bowl wins would be great, but they're not the reason why tens of millions of people watch the NFL each week.

Who cares? There have been idiots on Chiefsplanet since its inception, just as there are idiots on every fan related site and sites like PFT.

If I thought it would make a difference, yes, I'd definitely like the average fan to up their game and not settle for Bud Light quality football and ~11 win seasons against watered down competition.








omg, what about (insert game)!!

I do. This place was nuts for Trent Green. They'd be more than happy with Flacco.

Alex Smith does not suck, he is just a symptom in a long line of them. He is above average in my opinion.

And your opinion is correct! :D

Smith is slightly above average. BUT because he had such high expectations he will always be perceived as less than he is unless he plays way above average.

Smith is the perfect QB to win a SuperBowl with when you have a dominating D, great O-line, great running game and top 5 special teams. We very well could have 3 of those 4 components in place this year but unless our o-line magically gets good and Reid stops ignoring the running game when it is working... we're probably not going anywhere with Smith.

I was a "draft Flacco" guy that year... so I know I'd be happy with him.

EDIT: Just looked up my post on him and this was Hamas' response to it...

:D

Bingo, hammer meet nail!

He is just not strong enough to overcome shortcomings in those areas like the true franchise QB that many of us would like to see them at least try and take a chance on.

It's not going to happen though, so I will just enjoy the team for what it is and hope we can get to a wild card game again soon

:LOL:

Agreed. I love going to the circus and watching the clowns.

Settle? Fans have no control over that, other than not going. I haven't supported this team financially since the 90s.

We can't do anything about the schedule.
