Doesn't matter. You can't just cherry pick your stats. Don't forget how many times he was benched too.

It does matter. He improved over time. So how he performed before that improvement has NOTHING to do with how he performs after the improvement.

Let's say you learn to play a musical instrument. You start out playing Mary Had a Little Lamb, badly. You improve so that after 5 years you are playing much harder songs, and playing them fairly well. Would it be fair to say "but over your music career you have shown you can't play Mary Had a Little Lamb very well"? No, of course not.

Three guys open for six. Inexcusable.

That play was so frustrating to watch. Probably the play that pissed me off the most this season.

If we'd lost, that play would be under much scrutinisation.

I think Alex:

1. Didn't like the coverage on McGrath (it's a little tight for fraidy Alex's tastes)
2. Didn't think Sherman could outrun the guy chasing
3. Didn't see Fasano

Or something. *shrug*

And we are just seeing TONS of improvement this year. 79.2

Listen, I am enjoying the ride here and I can appreciated that Alex has contributed to it to a degree. But lets not fool ourselves into thinking he is the difference maker. He isn't. If he doesn't start stepping up his game soon I don't see any reason not to expect the same results this year that we have had in the past. I truly do hope he makes me eat my words too.

Goddamn he was so wide open. And for the entire play too.

JFC Horrible.

If he pulls a Flacco, that'd be great.

Would be awesome. But I would prefer he not get a Flacco like contract out of it.

Very true. However, if we're in the Super Bowl, down 4 points with 45 seconds left in the game, I don't think many would care how much money he would get out of it, we'd just want him to throw that touchdown pass.

Epic Casseling

Lowest average depth of target among QBs this year? #Chiefs Alex Smith at 6.4, 0.4 lower than even 2012 Christian Ponder

Four. Fasano, Sherman, McGrath, and pretty sure Donald Stephenson was an eligible receiver.

Holy crap...Fasano...:facepalm:

There's even a wide open viewing and throwing lane for him

Whoever said "Epic Casseling" is absolutely correct
