I can see him protecting the 3...

Incorrect. Actually, that is his thing. He does fine when a play goes exactly as planned. Where he struggled was when things got extended and he was asked to go off script.

The similarities are scary as **** though.

The stats are similar, mostly due to his much over inflated seasons in 07, and 09. Where as Alex Smith has been consistently getting better since 2009. Those are just facts.

I'm merely pointing out that Alex Smith doesn't help defenses like a top tier QB would.

He's not doing shit for our defense that Matt Cassel couldn't do in 2010.

That's all Matt did in 2010. He didn't turn it over. If that's all Alex is going to do, that's not enough. You want to help the defense? Own third down and extend drives.

That is something Alex Smith has shown time and time again that he can't do.

Wow. So, in your mind, the packers, saints, patriots, all have the BEST defenses in the league? That's essentially what you just said. By the way, the saints just gave up the most PASSING YARDS IN HISTORY!!!!!

It usually is. True, but, Alex Smith was under the thumbs of Mike Nolan, and Mike Singletary, where they wanted no mistakes, and wanted to run the ball at all costs....

Did you watch Pittsburgh last year? Read Ben's quotes? He was pissed about the short passing game and even more pissed that his best downfield target walked this off season.



This is ludicrous.

There wasn't a Franchise QB in this draft, period. There wasn't a Franchise QB in free agency. The Chiefs made the best move possible given the lack of options.

Furthermore, you were the guy JUST LAST AUGUST, telling me that Tyler Bray would be Top Ten draft choice and if the Chiefs could, they should take him.

Just eight months later, he went undratfed and signed with the Chiefs.

How's that for personnel evaluation?

It still makes me laugh my ass off, that people are so obsessed with the DOWN THE FIELD PASSING GAME. That just makes me laugh my ass off. Who is going to go long to get those passes? The chiefs don't have one single down the field target to even worry about. Alex Smith's skill set, fits the skill set of the personnel on this team.....
