As I said earlier in the thread, my biggest fear is that Alex Smith will be basically the same QB he was in San Fran, with slightly lower efficiency numbers because he is being asked to be more aggressive.
That would in all likelihood result in an extension, and I think it is the most likely outcome.
I will jump on the Alex Smith bandwagon when the Chiefs beat an elite team in the playoffs BECAUSE of Alex Smith's performance throwing the football. Until then, I will grudgingly root for him while doubting him and hoping they replace him with someone who CAN pull that off.
I would love to be completely wrong about Smith. That would be a great thing as a Chiefs fan. I just can't believe it until I see it.

I have never understood this logic. I really haven't. You have an incredible oline, you have a top 5 running back. You have a lot of money invested in your defense, and draft picks might I add. Who cares if you knock off an elite team in the playoffs, and it didn't take alex smith throwing for 300+ and 4 tds to do it. A win is a win is a win. Especially in the playoffs. By the way, and im asking, and not being a smart ass. When exactly was the last CHIEFS PLAYOFFS WIN?
Because, I can tell you this. When the 49ers beat the saints, it was an INCREDIBLE moment for me, because they hadn't won a playoff game since 2002 before that.
