Who is better than Alex Smith?

[digger]

Which QBs are better than Alex Smith?

Poll soon.

[L.A. Chieffan]

Stafford? The guy who consistently loses despite having more weapons than Rambo? What's Stafford's record when his opposition scores more than 24?

Better hope the opponent doesn't score 24+ in that game.

Pretty meaningless stat I guess since guys who subjectively are better than Smith suck at it too

They just suck less at it.

Just means that guys who are "subjectively better than Smith" are actually better than Smith.

But lets not get technical about it.

Alex Smith would take that Lions team to the playoffs. Stafford would be a 3-13 qb in KC

To use an old phrase "better than bad does not equal good"

I can come up with stats that'll make Mark Sanchez look like the best quarterback in the nfl...doesn't matter

You could certainly make him look better than Smith.

8 wins in 3 years vs 3 wins for Alex's entire career.

Exactly. Thank you for making my point.

Cant wait for Geno to get his ACL torn by Dontari Poe. Then Clay will bitch about how we need to take Marcus Mariota

Also Here is how Alex Smith Contract Breaks down

Signing bonus: $18 million

2014: $1 million
2015: $11.9 million
2016: $14.1 million
2017: $10.2 million (+ $2 million roster bonus)
2018: $14.5 million (+ $2 million roster bonus)

The $18 million signing bonus and $1 million 2014 salary is fully guaranteed.

If he is on the roster on the third day of the 2015 league year (next March - very likely), his 2015 and 2016 salaries totaling $26 million become fully guaranteed, according to La Canfora's report.

Those figures total the reported $45 million guaranteed and his three-year pay-out. You hear people talk about the three year pay-out because NFL contracts aren't real contracts and teams will just cut players with few penalties in the back end of contracts.

Smith's previous cap number was $8 million. If the signing bonus pro-rates over the life of the deal ($3.6 million per year) and you add in his 2014 salary ($1 million) that comes out to a $4.6 million cap hit this year, which actually saves the Chiefs money against the cap. Funny how contracts work, huh?
