Alex Smith is 3-1 when the other team scores 24 or more points this season

[jjchieffan]

I just thought I would throw that out there since it seemed to be such a determining factor of a quarterbacks worth to certain haters.

Chargers 33-27
Steelers 43-14
Donks 30-27
Falcons 29-28

So tell me, does that mean he's worthy? I mean his previous record was a point that was used to say he was horrible. You can't have it both ways.

And there comes the first Smith hater. It's good ole Dumb****Daddy in with the line to not give Smith credit for the win. Never-mind the fact that if the other team scores 24 or more points, that the defense shoulders part of that blame as well. Keep it up. I changed your name for a reason.

Any hard figures on how many Chiefs wins you can despise and still consider yourself a fan?

I'm not a Smith ballwasher, but he was on target all game long, except for the pass where he overthrew Ware.

Are you using it to support him now? If so did you agree that the previous record before this year was a damning stat against Alex? Because if the answer isn't yes both times you yourself are trying to have it both ways.

No. I'm just basically making fun of Clay and his useless stat. My basic opinion of Smith is that he was the best option available when we traded for him. I would like to see an upgrade at the position. But he is what he is and he is our quarterback for the time being. we could certainly do worse(i.e. Cassel, Kaep, ). I am going to sit back and enjoy the wins and hope that Andy and Alex can bring us a Superbowl title because I'm sick and tired of waiting. I see no sense it sitting around fussing and complaining about a quarterback that is slightly above average when we are winning games and going to the playoffs every year.

Both ways are damning, but not equally so. Allowing 24 points significantly lowers EVERYONE's winning percentage. Alex was particularly woeful on that front, but few if any excel on it.

Objectively, any team 3-1 in games where they give up 24 is a great metric. For Alex to be part of it at this point is near miraculous.

Ok. I personally think that stat does have significance, but not some smoking gun that Clay thought it was. It's a piece of a whole that is Alex Smith's style. It can't be argued though that he has had his 4th quarters for SF and KC. He isn't the worst and he isn't the best. Hopefully this year's results let him trust himself in big spots later in the year.

In the end I'm kind of like you. I'm in for the ride but not gonna pretend he doesn't have major flaws. Just gonna trust that Dorsey will take a chance at a QB when he sees one.

Yet still can almost never manage to throw more than 1 touchdown in a game. 1 passing touchdown a game in today's passing NFL is pathetic.
