Sorry but Smith definitely has an accuracy problem throwing down the field.

12 for 40 on passes over 20 yards.

49% on intermediate throws (11-20 yards)

What's the average? That's far from his big weakness. It's over thinking, and trying not to make a mistake.

I dunno what the average is but 21 QBs were above 50% on intermediate throws.

He definitely declined in this area. Last year he hit 58%.

i've said this before, alex can do it, it's just he is risk averse, which in turn cut's down on his downfield pass efficiency. if he would stay prone in the passing motion while scrambling, rather than running for yards, again, his efficiency would increase. he's not a play extending scrambler, he is a oh shit i have no one to throw to so i will run quarterback. :D

Upgrade at QB or else I can't really get too excited about next year. Alex has peaked out and he leaves WAY too many points on the field for my liking. I want to blow mofos out, not just a "keep us in it" type QB. Recipe for getting F'd by the officials like we did against Pitt. Should have blown that overrated team out. NE handled them quite easily.



Hell, I know it's a long shot but I would give Indy, now that they have Ballard, ANYTHING they want for Andrew Luck. They are just waiting with their knee pads for this dude to take off. We NEED a NAME BRAND QB, PERIOD!!! Or else continue to expect getting disrespected in your house with a BS call like we always have done. Who can forget, "THIS ONE'S.....FOR....JOHN!"?

Yes, get fragile ass Rome, **** IT!!!!! What do you have to lose besides TDS with Tyreek running wide open all night?




Tired of the bullshit.

They were giving you what you asked for in this thread, how were THEY derailing it? You said something false, they corrected you.

Looks like you were the thread derailer here.


BTW I enjoy and appreciate crow's takes also

Crybaby. YUGE crybaby.

Who?

Alex Smith:12 for 40 on passes thrown deeper than 20 yards down the field. Case Keenum 13 for 36.

From 2015-2016, Alex Smith's QB rating when throwing intermediate (11-20 yards) dipped from 128.4 to 74.5. Comp. % dipped from 58.1 to 49.4.

The Chiefs intermediate passing game (11-20 yards) is terrible. Smith had the fewest intermediate completions (40) of any full time starter.

Alex Smith completed 42.9% of his throws over 10 yards. That was 25th in the NFL. Worse than Siemian, Wentz and Keenum.

now now play nice :D

His deep ball needs work.

He seems to have little feel for when to place it on an outside/inside shoulder or and how much air to put under it.

i would have more respect for alex if he simply took advantage of defensive offsides with the free play. all he does is relax and wait for the ref to step in and stop it like a boxing match. he never goes for the knockout punch. :D

What year does that become effective? 14-16?
