Alex Smith highest rated QB against the Blitz

Passing against the blitz

Which quarterbacks fared best against the blitz in 2016? Alex Smith of the Chiefs had the highest Total QBR (93.0), completing 66 percent of his passes with four touchdowns, two interceptions and only three sacks.

Tom Brady had the best touchdown-to-interception ratio with 11 touchdowns and no interceptions. Ryan’s 13 touchdowns were the most in the NFL (he had one interception).

Send your disputes to ESPN's stats team.

not shocking at all considering he throws mostly short and quick passes. Captain Checkdown should be great at this.

Lmfao dig that shit.

:facepalm:

4-2 ratio ROFL

He just doesnt get it.

So Ryan and Brady had almost as many TDs against the blitz as Alex had for the entire season. Alex is number !1!1

That is ****ing reeruned.

Ryan and Brady murdered the blitz yet Smith is still rated higher?


ROFL ROFL ROFL

And he had 2 interceptions and Brady had none. Un****ing believable

15 is a good number! It's almost a touchdown for every game he played in! LEAVE ALEX ALONE!

Anyone want to guess when the 2 picks happened?


I bet they were both in the endzone, which essentially lost both games.


But hey! ESPN seems to think that doesn't matter in their rating system.

Alex is MONEY against the blitz!

Also, fastest getting rid of the ball in the NFL

Someone should tell that Brady guy how it's done.

All of the hidden touchdowns are what pushed Smith to the top!!

**sigh**



I'm sorry I made fun of you Tiger Uppercut I didn't know you have a TMQBIGS

Thinks Mediocre Quarterback is Great Syndrome. This is an illness a mental illness. We have had many here with it over the years but I don't think I've seen one as severe as in your case.

It's the inability to recognize a player just doesn't have it and argues endlessly to make points that just don't make up for lack of being very good.


Sad really. I hope there is hope for you.

I think some of y'all missed the post about taking it up with ESPN. But thank you for the reply.

Looking forward to 2017!

That's definitely a problem.

Interceptions not just in the red zone, but the end zone.

He just can't do that shit.

This is countered by the fact that Smith had a 72.5 QB rating on third down.

Completed only 60 percent of his passes for 5.98 YPA with 2 TD and 3 INT.

Does not fit a championship QB profile at all, and explains why the Chiefs were bad on third down.

35. Ryan Fitzpatrick 55.9

Your boy is a loser. Had an 82.0 QB rating on third down in 2015 and couldn't even hold that mark up. Declining turd.

Hahahaha....Tiger is trolling y'all hard now. He absolutely knew that article wasn't a good look for Alex. I bet he posted with a smile, and waited for the rage to pile up.

I wonder what the rating is for Andy Reid and his worthless, cute, bullshit 3rd down plays.

You're just saying that because you think he can help your "approval" rating.

Asshole.

LMAO

ESPN didn't post it here.....

So you think on 3rd down he calls plays that are all within 5 yards of the LOS? Or that calls with deep patterns don't get executed?

If you would actually watch the games you would see that Reid often has everyone within 5 yards of the LoS. Happens all the time.

oops... Reid just called another WR bubble screen on 3rd and 8.

oops ... Reid just refused to run the ball in the redzone again

oops ... Travis Kelce didn't touch the ball for an entire half again

oops ... Hill only got 1 target in the 2nd half again

The last two could be just as much on the qb as the play caller

****ing obsession

No matter what ****ing happens you will always default to Alex Smith.


If you don't think that Andy Reid's playcalling often turns to shit then you need to start following soccer.

:clap:

How about when Kelce wasn't even on the field on 3rd down in the redzone?

Damnit Alex!! :cuss:

Not what I said laz ROFL

Hahaha. Nah, I just don't think there is any way he read that and thought, "Man! This will prove to CP that Alex is elite."

I do, however, believe that he read it and immediately knew it would incite rage here. So, he posted it.

There's a gif somewhere showing hill running free, Hell there are multiple ones.

I'm sure Andy told Smith not to throw it...

Fabricate any stats you want. The old eye test for anybody watching football is still effective. I do not hate Alex Smith and have defended him on several occasions here, but there is no doubt the franchise will need to move on from him in short order. He cannot get this team over the top.

What gif?


I haven't seen it.

Jesus ****. He was so wide open that he could have scored twice on that play.

Even Conley broke wide open in the middle of that zone. Man oh man.

That's Harris

Jim McMahon, Jeff Hostetler, Brad Johnson, and Trent Dilfer all have SB rings.
Therefore, they are all better QBs than Dan Marino who never won a SB.
Is this is a similar argument???

Yep, thanks.

Well, having hands of stone will make a QB think twice before throwing it, I suppose.

3 receivers completely wide open and he scrambles from a clean pocket. #Alexthings

Are you saying Dan Marino and Alex Smith are the same QB?

So, we know it, they know it, the entire ****ing country knows it......



Why is he still the QB again?

Tigger has Dorsey's children.

What % of Alex Smith's passes against the blitz were bubble screens or passes that were thrown 3 yards or less in the air?

Embarrassing at a Proctor level... :facepalm:

Pretty close to his overall ratio. Wasn't it like 14-8, or something along those lines?

On a side note, did teams blitz us more or less frequently than other QB's?

Edit: 15-8

Youre obsessed with Andy Reid, everything is his fault.

Every issue goes back to him with you

Hey reerun, most QBs try to make a defense pay for blitzing and go over the top. They don't throw a 3 yard dump off to get their RB smashed.

File your complaint to ESPNs stats teams. While it would be nice to have Matt Ryan or tom Brady, it sure is reassuring our QB can deliver the ball instead of taking the sack during a blitz (hell the sack rate went down 40% this year! huzzah!) alongside some of the best.

It's just an article so don't let it get your panties in a bunch, children.

I am forced to agree... a pass behind the LOS completed to a WR/RB for a 2yd gain on 3rd and long is better than a sack. In the end, however, it's still a punt.

Do you have actual facts? Cause from what I can see on ESPNs splits he had 115 plays against the blitz and the average gain was 7.74 yards/attempt.

Not intended to humiliate, just clarification. Fake news is becoming an epidemic.

It's a weird obsession. Reid has had other QBs go deep before, including Foles this year. There's one constant in the equation of checkdown and shit pants.

Rerun even finally figured it out.

In your case its not fake its reeruned.

1-3.

Your post is intended to upset others. Please do not troll or derail thread.

It's too bad when Alex has a clean pocket with open receivers, which is quite often, he misses or doesn't try

It is a meaningless stat (big picture wise) if he can't get first downs. I'm having difficulty finding the stats for this season but this is an example of what Alex Smith brings to the team. Stats are from the 2015 season.

Thanks for the assist!

Nothing quite as sad as unrequited love.

Well, we have a delusional fan base. As seen by the exodus of fans when this team started at 2-2 this season.

Do you value his ability to gain 7.2 yards on a blitz over his ability to convert on 3rd down?

You are a ****ing moron.

There was no exodus of fans.

Because 1-3

Fact not fiction. 1-3 Fact not fiction.

Tigger has attained KnowMo levels of Smith-reerunery.

Congrats on that!

ROFL

Unleash Classic ROR!!!!!

Don't you know? He has the pulse of the fan base. His cute five year stint as a chiefs fan gives him this understanding. His time is equivalent to when we were all 15 and had been aware chief fans for about 4-5 years. He acts like a 15 year old as well.

Frankly, I am glad that there exist the Tiggers of the world. His presence and continued dumbassery serve to validate every claim that Clay and I make against Reid and Smith.

Yin.
Yang.
Profit.
