It's true.. and this last game is almost certainly the answer to the original question.
Look, I know the players like Alex. They even respect him.. but they likely do not think he is all that he should be. They're not wrong.
He had his chances. He got his payment. He should not have one spoken complaint when the decision to start Mahomes comes. This decision should be made public by tomorrow. The Mahomes Era must come now.. even if sooner than planned for.
The run game is abysmal. The playcalling has been shit. But all of that still doesn't excuse Smith's play. A spark is clearly needed.. and a QB change is the ONLY thing that has any chance of providing that spark.
Sorry, Alex. You're a great dude, but have done all you can do, and it ain't enough for what KC needs.
Happy trails, old friend.
