Jaworski rates Chiefs QB at No. 20 among NFL starters
Jaworski rates Chiefs QB at No. 20 among NFL starters
The Kansas City Star Former NFL quarterback-turned-broadcaster Ron Jaworski ranks new Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith No. 20 among the NFL's 32 starting quarterbacks. That's according to Jaworski's ratings on ESPN's MediaZone site, transcribed from his three-minute daily segments dubbed "Jaws' QB Countdown" on SportsCenter and NFL Live. Smith, of course, was acquired in a trade from San Francisco this offseason, and has yet to throw a pass in Kansas City (aside from OTAs, that is). Here are some excerpts from Jaworski's evaluation of Smith: “A year ago, Smith was coming off his best season in the NFL, having led the 49ers to the NFC Championship. This year, he’s the starting quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs. It was a great move by (Chiefs coach) Andy Reid to acquire Smith. “The defining element of Smith’s play is efficiency. He executes the offense the way it’s designed, and he makes very few mistakes. Last season – for the second year in a row – he was exceptional on first down. In 2012 he led the NFL in first-down passing, with a quarterback rating of 119. Much of it came off play-action, or in the case of the 49ers, hard run-action out of base personnel. There was no better play-action quarterback last season than Smith. He had a quarterback rating of over 132. “Smith has been outstanding out of multiple tight end personnel over the last couple of seasons. No quarterback has thrown the ball more with three tight ends on the field. You don’t see that very often in today’s NFL. “This play was beautifully designed with all three tight ends to the same side. First, look at the impact of the run-action on the two linebackers and the safety. This was hard run-action. Then you see that Delanie Walker’s vertical route occupied the corner. That left Vernon Davis matched on a safety, a safety that initially reacted to run. He had no chance on Davis’ wheel route. “One area Smith improved in 2012 was in the pre-snap phase of the game. He was much better at the line of scrimmage checking and audibling. “It will be interesting to see what Andy Reid does in Kansas City. Don’t be surprised if he turns Smith loose a little bit and features an up-tempo offense with an emphasis on quick throws. Remember, Alex Smith played for Urban Meyer at Utah.” Other QB's that Jaworski has analyzed so far: No. 32 Matt Flynn No. 31 Jake Locker No. 30 Kevin Kolb No. 29 Chad Henne No. 28 Mark Sanchez No. 27 Christian Ponder No. 26 Brandon Weeden No. 25 Michael Vick No. 24 Ryan Tannehill No. 23 Carson Palmer No. 22 Sam Bradford No. 21 Josh Freeman |

QB/HC combination. Brees couldn't do it last year without Sean Payton. And SP couldn't do it without Brees. It's like a good director and leading actor. They feed off each other. |

Drew Brees threw for over 5,000 yards and 43 TD's last year. I'd say he did just fine. |

So you admit that you are not reasonable then.
Reasonable is not an extreme. Reasonable is not that there is only one way. It wouldn't have mattered what this front office did short of drafting a QB that was not worthy of our 1st overall that would have made you or many others happy.

I'm not a hypocrite because I recognize that I was indeed a homer once, and wrong for it.

Or, you know, the Saints had a historically bad defense last year. Yeah, that has nothing to do with it, does it?

No shit, Sherlock. Wish we had one.
It's okay to grow and learn. And it's definitely okay to be mistrustful of EVERY ****ing thing this organization does, until the day it wins a Super Bowl.

Anytime one agrees with Lil' Marcellus, you KNOW the homer-vision glasses are in full swing.

I mean how bad do you have to be if you lose to the Chiefs in your own stadium. That's why Spags got canned as soon as HEAD COACH SP came back. You need both a good QB and a good coach. You think the Ravens won because of Dilfer? Then again Brees won 7 games last year without a HC. We're winning it all this year. Bank it. |
