But luckily for you I won't have any internet access except for this phone for at least the next five days and won't give a **** about you or this by then.

I'd say 10-6, but if the OL can get above bottom tier, and Houston returns to be effective? yeah, maybe more than 10.

To answer, I'd say "a fault" of Alex's is that he is extremely obedient. He has a small area of flexibility in changing plays, but overall, he's just a dull soldier who will pretty much follow the orders given. ...

I'm almost hopeful he'll retire or leave KC, if this season continues its shit-show on offense.

I'm still not buying in that he is the primary problem... but I did expect him to be carrying the offense better than this. I also expected a better OL and less receiver/Ware fumbles than I am seeing. I also expected Andy/Alex to become more aggressive in this yr 4.

.....

... and obviously, sinking this offense is not the same as lifting it out of the water. Apparently Alex is not good enough to lift the playcalling, bottom tier OL, and frequent skill player ****ups.. out of the water. Find a QB that can? hey... go for it. How many QBs out there are there that can do so? 3? 5? and are they available?

That said, we have seen many a young QB have early success, only to later fizzle out or regress a bit over time. Whether the opposition evolves to better learn their weaknesses and exploit them? or whether the player's game slips for other reasons (loses talent around him, gets lazy or sloppy fundamentals due to the early success, or loses confidence at some point).

I don't think Smith needs things to be as wonderful around him as it sounds in your last comments.. but he does need more than brokedicks and incompetence around him. He needs better WRs than what he had against NE last season. He needs an OL that doesn't constanty live in the bottom tier. Would be nice if the Chiefs' best players could actually be healthy enough for a change.

Beyond that, yes.. Smith has had lots of poor pass pro OLs... and has had highly underwhelming WR talent around him. Until now.. and that's still contingent on JMac getting off his ass to help.

The OL looked to have done a decent job against DEN, to me. Sure.. there were times that Ware had to make his yards on his own. Times where Smith took some crazy quick pressures/hits. That's just gonna happen against that D, and when the KC line is more finesse than brute force.

Not at all a great OL this season, as hoped, but they are also out of the bottom tier for the first time in the Andy era.
