Chiefs Alexander Douglas Smith: 2016 - Page 26

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 09-17-2016, 10:44 AM

We wouldn't we want to roll out another Alex Smith thread?!?!? Listen, for the Clay haters, this will probably be the thread that gets him banned. He can't help himself, right? Let's go!!!

First off, as many of you know, I have been very critical of Alexander Douglas Smith. Wasn't happy with the trade, HATED the extension, and have burned him to the ground from the beginning. So ****ing sick of the retread QB's.

So, that said Alex Smith is my Daddy. I mean, I just have to own that at this point. Here's why. He's never had continuity in a system. That guy had a new offensive coordinator just about every year until Jim Harbaugh showed up. And he flashed a little bit. That said, it sure looks like San Fran traded their best QB to us in favor of some douche that's starting some thing all over the league, while riding the bench to a guy named Blaine Gabbert.

Alex is now in his 4th year of the same system and it's showing. He's getting better. Why is he my daddy now all of a sudden though? Because he proved that he's more than just a game manager. He made some ****ing incredible throws against the Chargers last week. The back shoulder Maclin throw, the Maclin throw where Jeremy was almost killed, The Spencer Ware throws. Twice he hit him downfield (like, way more than 8 yards!), and then finally the Kelce throws.

People can give Spencer Ware a lot of credit, he is deserving of it after the monster game he had. Make no mistake about it though, Alexander Douglas Smith personally put this team on his back and willed them to victory. 1 play at a time. 1 throw at a time. He's a leader, and it reflected in the locker room after that game. They trust Alex now. They trust that he has what it takes to will them to victory in any game.

Alex isn't just a game manager anymore. He's a game changer, and a leader. This team could go 6-10 this year and I'll say the same thing. He has the ability and he's proven it. Now let's see where they go with it. I'm officially a YUGE Alex fan. What do you think? I'll take your comments off air.

We should have won. A winner at QB would have got us there.

Pretty much. Some of those sacks that Smith was taking were because of him. He had time to get rid of the ball....he just just chose not to.

And for some reason....it looks like he's scared to run this year. Last year you couldn't get him to sit in the ****ing pocket. Now he stands there like he was told not to run at all.

I have noticed this as well. He'll look entirely different this Sunday and the fans will be content once again. He does this shit every year.

So Alex goes 20-37 for 186. How many drops did he have, 5 at least? And how many yards extra would he have had from those drops? And what would have our field position looked like, not to mention the momentum of chunk plays?

Alex didn't play great yesterday. Nobody played great yesterday. Games like that happen. It's not a season defining game.

Some of those drops are on him. It's hard for the receiver to catch the ball when he has to jump and he's still getting only one hand barely on the ball.

And FFS Reid.....get rid of Albert Wilson. Dude is a waste of a roster spot and not bringing anything to this team.

Wilson is a waste

He's more inconsistent than others.

Agreed, Alex doesn't get a full pass here. He missed guys wide the hell open, but he also hit guys right between the numbers that bumbled away the catch (I can't imagine Maclin has had a worse day as a pro, frankly). Like I said, everyone contributed to the shit fest. And like I said in the other thread, it was a letdown game after an emotional come from behind win over a divisional opponent, and it showed. Shit like this happens to just about every team out there.

Also, I couldn't agree more about Wilson. I have no idea why he's active and DAT isn't. Flip the roles between those two immediately, like right now.

Exactly. It was everybody sucks day for the Chiefs. Glad to have it out of our system in a game that I thought was going to be a lot harder to win. Let's just go win another 11 in a row and call it good. I'm not remotely worried about Alex. He'll be fine. He's genuinely proven to me what he is capable of, and this team is still going to win the division IMHO.

Albert Wilson and Kniles Davis are a waste of roster spots at this point. I'll be SHOCKED if Davis isn't released this week unless he was hurt and that's why Tyreek started doing returns.

We could have had Rodgers yesterday and it would have been the same result.

Everyone played like garbage, including Alex..and the play calling was horrid.

What do you want him to do when his receivers don't do their job? Are you saying he can't throw it and catch it too?

His throws were off most of the game. Maclin and Kelce had to jump every time the ball came their way. Honestly, how many times has a WR caught a pass in stride? They usually have to stop, jump and get hit or dive towards the ground.

You can't compare Rodgers to Smith. Rodgers is already an established QB.

Great general points, but you didn't address the drops by his receivers that had passes hit them right in the hands that they couldn't seem a way to hold on to in this game.
