We are just entering a 7 game stretch where we will face a lot of playoff caliber teams that Alex will need to put points up on to win.
It should be interesting to see how well he plays down the stretch in comparison to the alternatives that were out there this past offseason. |

In the franchise mode team building works like this: Stage 1. Pre-franchise mode You spread your $ around and have good talent at many positions. Team gets better fast. The prefranchise mode lasts until a huge contract is given to the starting QB, which could be the result of the QB being really good, winning the SB, or overpaying a B-level QB (e.g., Romo). Stage 2. Post-franchise mode A huge fraction of your cap is tied up in your QB and you have to let a lot of the good supporting talent walk. The QB has to be a huge difference maker to stay on top. Most QB's aren't that good and the huge contract to the starting QB marks the decline of that team. Would a team ever have enough guts to reload with a young cheap QB or a journeyman at the end of stage 1? I will believe it when I see it. |

If the Chiefs win a SB, Alex Smith will be come an overpaid b level guy, or he will walk.

One thing that seems apparent as it relates to this article.
Andy Dalton is playing his way out of Cinncinatti.

With the cap scheduled to go up significantly over the next decade, the trend of paying quarterbacks top dollar will not only continue, it will likely escalate.

And if not for two muffed punts Alex Smith is possibly a superbowl winning qb,so you have to at least acknowledge theres living proof this formula absolutely can work. And the fact the 49ers could plug Kaepernick in and still win after Alex went down proves the original point of this topic even more doesn't it lol. Eli shouldn't have got that big contract because the defense did a lot of heavy lifting to get him that superbowl. And if Alex Smith somehow managed to get a superbowl this year,no way you pay him 20mil. Its not hard to see whether the qb carried the team on his back through the season and if he can lead a shit offense to the promise land. I absolutely don't think ALex can do that and hopefully the rest of the league would be smart enough to know that and not offer 20 mil lol. Only Brees,Manning,Rodgers and Brady I would say deserve the 20 mil tag.Because I believe they can pick up the slack of a lesser offensive unit. Your at least in the hunt as long as the d isn't absolute shit. Last edited by Down4Chiefs; 11-17-2013 at 01:38 PM.. |

and btw,no Alex Smith of this year outside of the record its hard to say hes lived up to the 11 mil contract. But the record is the record lol. The alex Smith that should've played in the superbowl in san fran though? that guy is definitely worth 11 mil. Only reason im patient is because im not as high on his offensive line,play calling and weapons as some of you are apparently,who believe Bowe is Anquan Bolden level.

TE Dennis Pitta = 7 TD's, 700 yds WR Torry Smith = 9 TD's, 864 yscm RB Ray Rice = 10 TD's, 1621 yscm WR Boldin = 4 TD's, 921 yds Boldin was low in the tank, but I don't thnk any of those players are "B" talent. those are good stats. Smith does not have that kind of talent in skills positions and he certainly doesn't have an OL like Flacco's. There are guys -- like Avery, who is playing well, but he's no Torry Smith or Boldin. Jamaal is no contest against Rice, but Rice had an OL blocking for him and Jamaal rarely has.

You think Torrey Smith and Anquan Boldin is in the same group as Calvin Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald and AJ Green?
Hahahahahahaha Dennis Pitta in the same group as Jimmy Graham? I mean, Ray Rice is in the conversation of being in the a group of backs, but that's debatable because he doesn't offer the same upside as Adrian Peterson. Like I said... |
