You want to upgrade Alex Smith? Fine by me.
Make sure that you also upgrade the Center, the right guard, the tight end, the third receiver, the qb, get a true back up for Jamaal. and a third receiver.
A true number one receiver. I like Bowe, blame Alex Smith all you want. He isn't a true BONAFIDE number one receiver.
people will hate on me. If you truly saw the game yesterday, you would realize that he is NOT on the level of Josh Gordon. Josh Gordon is a NUMBER ONE RECEIVER.
Bowe is a low end one, or a great two.
Im a broken record.
Mediocre qb, with substandard talent around him, oline, wr
s are average, tight ends are below average. And you are expecting better results.
Matt Ryan threw 4 picks yesterday with a similar talent pool to what Alex Smith is dealing with right now.
Shrugs. Alex is a part of the problem. Hes not the only problem though.

Excellent post, I could not agree more.
We have seen Alex Smiths limitations for 8 regular season weeks now.
I'm not about to get upset about his style of play. I rather like the high percentage passing game vs. the chuck it deep offense so many of you seem to want to see in KC. This team has done a good job of keeping the ball on offense by having long scoring drives. Its a perfect thing when combined with out defense. What needs to improve is our red zone offense, we need TDs not FGs. Just look at yesterday, the Browns should have been dead before half. This team should have been up 28 to nothing. We kept them in it because we kicked FGs instead of scoring TDs.
Some of that is Smiths fault. He has missed wide open guys in the end zone. But its not all his fault. We need better oline play, we deserve more out of Bowe, its not just that Smith isn't giving him the ball, its that Bowe is not getting open, we need a legit TE in this offense.
What frustrates the hell out of me is that people seem to overlook the fact that if we can score TDs instead of kicking FGs this team will be very difficult to beat.
As I look around the AFC, the only playoff teams with offense that are going to demand that the Chiefs score more points than they already are doing is the Browcos and Bengals. The rest don't scare me a bit, and I'd not sure those two teams are all that anyway.
