Alex Smith would have to be a complete moron to do that. |
For those who don't want to make a FA play for Alex Smith, I'd be curious to see who you'd like to bring in for QB depth.
Michael Vick Matt Hasselbeck Matt Flynn Kevin Kolb Jason Campbell Bruce Gradkowski AJ Feeley Matt Moore I could see Matt Moore or Jason Campbell, but Alex Smith looks pretty attractive on that list. |

1. There's probably more to it than Smith just not wanting to be a backup. SF experience was embarrassing. 2. He could be a bridge-type one-year starter in KC. 3. The market for starting QB's in terms of FA's isn't that strong. In addition: 1. Reid's offense could be a nice fit for Smith. 2. Chiefs have the money and cap space to do it. |
I guess that is where I fall in line. I don't see Alex Smith as a steaming pile if sh*t like Matt Cassel. Do I think he is a really good QB? No, but I see him as quality and someone that could help KC for 2-3 years until the drafted QB is completely ready. Much like the same situation Dorsey and Green Bay did with Rodgers.

Alex Smith does not fit the PASSING QB & offensive role that Andy Reid is looking for. Same boat with Alex Smith as in Matt Cassel 2010. Coach Reid wants to pass the ball not just hand off to the running backs. Alex Smith is a game manager not a game winner.
Do not want not even as a back up, he doesn't want to be a back up. Let young QBs duke it out with one being Geno Smith and a later round QB. |

He's not a downfield passer, true. But look at his skill-set and explain to me why he couldn't be an efficient volume passer in a west-coast set. He's accurate, he's smart with the ball and he's mobile. He could easily be a guy that throws the ball 30+ times a game but does so in a manner where he hits his guys in the intermediate areas to create space for them to operate. No matter what QB he brings in, Reid doesn't have the personnel to run the offense he ran the last couple of years in Philly. He doesn't have the WRs to run it. What he'll have to do is use a more conventional WCO where he uses the intermediate zones to create space for guys to rack up RAC yards. He'll have to use the short passing game to set up the run and deep passes off double moves. Smith could do that. You keep saying he shouldn't be a volume passer because he hasn't been asked to be - but what do you see in the actual player that says he can't be? He has the skills to do the job. |

Smith hasn't exactly had some high flying receivers in his career. Crabtree is just now starting to not suck like a diva.

I am sure Alex Smith and his Agent will take the Kansas City Chiefs on faith then. lol |

You are delusional lol. |
He'll be looking for a starting job which means if KC brings him in they will not draft a qb in the first 2 rounds.
