Especially when you have as good of pass rushers as you guys do, the more time their offense has to spend trying to hurry up and score, the better off you will be.
Just my line of thinking.

Those things are great... as long as he can flip the switch and try to make tougher throws on 3rd down.
Flipping the ball short to a guy - the checkdown pass - has its place. But on third down? All it really leads to is a team that punts. A lot.
That's fine if you have a truly elite defense. It's unlikely Alex Smith will have such a luxury in his time in KC.
