And the goal is to win, correct?

Even so, you came up with 5 guys. Not exactly proving him wrong.

Does anyone really have a problem with that, provided a QBOTF is selected in the next 2 years?

Not true, but beside the point. A mediocre/below avg QB CAN win a SB, but the odds of it aren't good.

I don't think he can do it like Flacco did, for sure - he's a much different QB.

But I think he could do it like he did against the Saints. He wasn't bombing downfield in that game, but he did make some big time runs to keep drives alive. He did find guys squirting out the backfield to make something out of nothing.

He did...well exactly what he's done for us so far.

He's not a tall, statuesque pocket passer that's going to do much of anything sexy to win football games. He's going to go out there and try to win ugly. Is that my preferred approach? Nah, not really. I like Geno and I like Tyler Bray as well.

But it's won games in this league for a very long time. It got Gannon deified here in KC. It made Tarkenton a HOFer. It got Alex Smith within an eyelash of a Super Bowl.

To say it 'can't' happen here is just foolish. The odds strongly suggest it won't happen here, but anyone that says it can't is just being a mindless ideologue.

I think it's certainly within the realm of possibility. Sure, it's definitely less likely than a slew of other candidates. If Brad Johnson can win one, and Rex Grossman can get there and nearly win one, then by golly, Alex smith can win one as well.

There's just probably more things that need to go right and more quality levels of performance from those around him required to achieve that kind of success, especially on a consistent level. It's not a right or wrong thing, it's a "Here's our limitations, how do we deal with it?" thing.


Just my opinion.

I'd love to play poker with some of you - you seem like the types that would call a three bet cold, putting yourself all-in with pocket 5's.

Sure, it could win you the pot, but the odds are beyond terrible.

I think that's probably the best comparison, although I believe Smith to be a better athlete and more cerebral about the game.

i'd sleep with a fatty sans promises, but sure, I mean what are we going to say, no to finally drafting a ****ing QB...

I have no idea what you just said.

Which would be why I don't play poker.
