Players win and lose games more than coaches. Players miss wide open guys, miss blocks and drop balls. They miss tackles and get shoved around. Coaches do not. Dungy and Switzer and Gruden are proof. They inherited stud teams and won doing nothing.

Let him go... He was no Zobrist level pickup that you hate to see walk. Sure as hell not after seeing what he gets paid millions and millions to see. His receivers didn't help him Sunday, nobody should claim that, Fisher (and the officials with their selectivity) didn't help, but his recurring inability to see what other QBs do see is the problem. Add to it that he's not much of an on-field leader (if he is I don't see it), it time to try Files for a year. If Foles ****s up early in the season, or the schedule kills him, we play the 3rd string and suck for Lock.

Not sure I agree. He's Marty v2, he'll get us to the door step of the promise land then drop the bottle of beer.. Andy is coaching equivalent of Alex on game day.

If people REALLY doubt Smith consider this...his pass yards are up from last year. His completion percentage is up from last year. Sack rate went down 40%. And this is considering his top wide receiver was a rookie and his best receiver (Maclin) was way off his game compared to 2015 (6 less TDs this year). But most significant was the lack of a run game this season, so for him to achieve all of the above despite an obvious step back in what was the strength of the offense in 2015 is a positive indication that his skills as a passer continues to improve. Sure the red zone % was awful, but it improved dramatically over the last third of the season.

1) Bring the run game back to being respectable
2) Continue to build chemistry with Tyreek in the offseason
3) Get Maclin back to 2015 form
4) Receivers need to improve catching ability (2nd worst in dropped passes this season)

This Offense will be one of the most efficient ones in 2017 and it's not as if there has to be radical changes. All the pieces are there.

Prediction: 28 TD's/ 10 INTs , 68% completion rate, 3800-4000 yards

For reference his QBR has only climbed over the years here

50->56-> 61.6-> 63.4

Andy Reid is who he has always been. He's the same guy who went the playoffs damn near every year in Philly.

When his team DID finally make it to a SB, they wound up down by 14 in the 4th.

Reid then orchestrated one of his patented 7 minute drives, and gave his team absolutely no chance to win.
It's who he is, and it's who he's always been.

Which is why he needs to let Smith run his hurry-up offense which he has a good track record of doing. Andy is the problem.

QBR is a worthless stat.

If Reid is the coach then it really doesn't matter.

Wonder what those 4 guys at the top are doing next weekend?

http://www.espn.com/nfl/qbr

How can you argue with QBR when it has Matt Ryan, Tom Brady, Prescott, Rodgers, Brees as the top 5 QB's of 2016?

What measurement do you propose measuring a QB's efficiency by?

Because his sack rate is down 40%, completion percentage up 2%, Total TD's over 14.5 games (20) was near identical to the 16 games of 2015 (22).

Get your head out of your ass.

:clap:

Rouser -> Moron

Or better yet, he just needs released from any OC play calling responsibilities, permanently. He can still chime in with suggestions, but he shouldnt be the one installing the offense!

Oh boy here comes Alex Smith's daddy to defend him and blame everyone else for his lack of ability.

How about this: which QBs are which:

QB A: 3,023 yd/61.7 CMP%/17TD/6INT
QB B: 3,502 yd/67.1 CMP%/15TD/8INT
QB C: 3,877 yd/71.6 CMP%/20TD/5INT
QB D: 3,401 yd/59.5 CMP%/18TD/10INT

Then try to tell me whether or not winning a SB with these QBs is feasible without massive amounts of talent surrounding him at both offense and defense.

You should probably add on 5 rushing TD's to whichever is Smith's.
It's not a mistake that Smith has a winning record for 6 straight seasons, playoffs in 5...

He's 2-4 in the playoffs.

Those teams aren't making the playoffs because of him. You put any of those other QBs on this team and we probably still get between 9 and 12 wins this year.
