Austin should have just shut down this thread with his last post.

Alex Smith can win a Super Bowl if he has top 5 caliber units at OL, WR, defense and in special teams (ONE MUFFED PUNT FROM A SUPER BOWL AFTER ALL).

The Chiefs have a defense that is capable of being top 5 and that's not even a certainty. That's it. I guaran-****ing-tee it won't be November till a certain cadre of posters here lambaste the offensive line as one of the worst groups in NFL history.

If that fact doesn't become the narrative, then it will be the apparently shocking revelation that Jeremy Maclin and Travis Kelce aren't dominant enough players to carry a receiving corps consisting of a 3rd round rookie, a Sun Belt UDFA and Jason Avant into being successful enough to win games consistently.

Or, you know, the defense will actually regress to the mean and not hold teams to an absurd average of 18 points or fewer per game and the narrative will quickly shift to "But you can't expect anyone to win when the defense gives up two TDs and a FG of points per game!" drivel.

Either way, the Chiefs will top out with a 10-6 regular season record at best with yet another first round playoff exit... and this will be surprising to an alarming number of posters here.
