Andy Reid shuts down your Chiefs QB controversy talk
http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2016/1...ntroversy-talk
55 by Joel Thorman Oct 31, 2016, 2:44p 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? /death stare |

I do know that once you get one you're much more likely to get another the same season and that's not good. I was worried Reid would go all conservative but Foles clearly gave 0 ****s about the Colts defense. Which is good...

You guys spend a shit ton of time opining for something you have no control over.
Seems by now you would learn you are just stressing yourself out for no reason. I want a Tom Brady, Big Ben, Aaron Rodgers, Drew BReese type QB too. Since I cant make that happen AND the team is pretty damn good I am going to try to enjoy watching Chiefs football on Sunday. Sure I will yell at the TV when Smith takes a sack or misses a pass and I will celebrate when we score TD's as well. Just like every other fan base in the NFL without an elite QB. Crazy I know. |

Sutton keeps it simple for the players while keeping the scheme complex.
Players love him...

We are 16-3 over our last 19 games (post-season included) and some of you guys want a change at QB.

Clay always points out how he hated Alex ever since the trade, but he sure doesn't bring up the 2nd part.
"And wanted to draft Geno Smith 1st overall"

Good point. And I admit that I am intrigued by the potential of what he could bring to this team. At the same time I am also weary of what a disaster that could be if he reverts to the way he played the past couple of years. Despite what dumb ass Clay says, Alex is no Matt Cassel. Sure, it would be nice if he produced more but it's not as if he's playing crappy like some games early last season. He's definitely getting guys in the right positions, not turning if over (that was mindnumbingly frustrating with Cassel), and leading the team. They are 5-2 because of Alex Smith, not despite him. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't understand all the intricacies of NFL football. This is not Madden.

Right! Anyone who thought Geno Smith was the next great QB has no valid opinion on NFL QBs. I mean, it was understandable to want to draft a QB. Hell, I was interested in Geno Smith for a while. But people should have known that once he started falling down the draft boards there was something majorly wrong with him. He's been in the league what 3 or 4 years now and has produced Jack and shit.
