You know Andy Reid was going to stand by Alex Smith and that’s what he did on Monday when facing the press. Reid has been doing this for a loooong time so he let reporters have their fun for a few minutes and then he shut down any talk of Nick Foles playing in front of a healthy Alex Smith. Will it work? I guess it depends on how well Foles plays this weekend ... if he plays this weekend since the Chiefs doctors contend Alex actually doesn’t have a concussion.

Check out this exchange between Reid and reporters this afternoon.

Q: You were asked whether you had to cut back the game plan when Foles came in and you said no. Did he allow you to expand the game plan, maybe do some things that you couldn’t do with Smith?

Reid: No. Alex, I’m not sure we realize how good he is. We’ve opened this thing up further than maybe we’ve ever opened it up. He does a tremendous job. It’s a shame he didn’t have a chance to finish off the game plan because he would’ve had a ton of success with it. Not to take anything away from Nick. We didn’t have to cut a thing out for Nick coming in. That was a win-win for both guys. To think one would’ve done better than the other, I don’t believe that. If Alex would’ve been in, we would’ve done the same thing.

Q: You guys his four passes of 30 yards down the field. That’s unusual for you guys. Was that because the way the game was going or because of who was at quarterback?

Reid: I think it was part of the plan. That was all in the game plan. They would’ve been called. They were right on the first 15. They were coming up so whether it was Alex in there or Nick they were coming up. A couple of them formation wise, there was a little confusion on the formation and guys popped open.

Q: Does Foles give you more capability in that area?

Reid: No, I’m not even sure I like the way you’re going with this. Alex can do all the things that need to be done in this offense and do them at a Pro Bowl-caliber level.

Q: Is he your quarterback when he’s healthy then?

Its really sad that what's become of Dane......where is the Dane I fell in love with?

Where is the Dane that would rip Homer's apart while also doing fryggian scales so fast the guitar would melt?

Where is the Dane that would have never been on the same side as Sandy vag, mav, tigeruphisbutt, and Bob Dole?

I fear this rift will tear chiefsplanet apart....

God help us all

Because Chip Kelly is a dumbass.

And Foles asked to be released from his contract in St. Louis.

They would have kept him otherwise.

Their interception rate is identical, Smith gets sacked much more and fumbles more....

Correct answer is foles went 2TD's to 9 INT"s in his last 7 starts with the Rams.

Facts, please use them.

Does that work for Andy? it would seem so. Been doing it for years now, and often. If it were a problem in Andy's eyes.. would he keep Smith as QB1?

No one can convince me that Todd Haley actually wanted to start Matt Cassel as long as he did. Hell, his dad attended a 2009 training camp practice and said to him, something along the lines of, "I don't think you can win with this guy."

I don't believe HC's always play who they want to play at the QB position especially.

Quality answers, gentlemen.

Also, the Chiefs have always been, even at their very best, a supreme champion of shooting themselves in the ass or behaving in some redundant, ass-backward way that leads to self-sabotage.

Meh, maybe Reid just wants to eat ribs, sit in the corner and blow spit-bubbles at Dorsey. Who the **** knows?

SUPPORT THE CHIEFS QUARTERBACK

I agree completely. Support the Chiefs quarterback......Who is still Alex Smith. I will support the backup quarterback as well while Smith is out. I want the Chiefs to win.

Yep, i don't really care who's our QB is as long as we win. I hope Foles turns into OUR elite QB.

This offseason we can keep one and trade the other for a 1st rounder

But let's not get it twisted, SOME people on this board are clearly bias.

They are in debate mode and will spin that shit negative toward Smith and positive toward Foles no matter what happens.

They might as well be a political candidate they are so full of shit.
