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 |

He's in the group with Schaub regarding being injury prone. Otherwise, not even close. In the 3 seasons Schaub has played all 16 games, he's thrown for at LEAST 4,008 yards and as much as 4,770. In the 2 seasons Smith has played all 16 games his highest yardage total was 3,144. One guy can stretch the field, and one guy can't. |

Dude I see Schaub every home game because I shoot it. Schaub ****ing sucks the fans here hate him. He's a checkdown master and Kubiak gives him NO leeway to call audibles, etc. He throws jump balls and check downs. When was the last time you saw a highlight with Schaub throwing bombs. Never. |

Alex Smith is in the group that has guys like Kyle Orton in it.
Nothing else. Oh, Kyle Orton actually has 3 winning seasons to his credit instead of 1...and has 11 career 300-yard games instead of 3... Carry on!

What does it mean if I miss Kyle? Do you think Dallas would accept our 2nd next year for him?

Duh, that's why Alrx and Cassel have 4700+ yard seasons.

I wish Kyle Orton was still here, and was our stopgap until a "media and fanbase acceptable" first-round QB came available to us in the first round.

That's the kind of throw Alex Smith NEVER makes.

Andre Johnson along with the play action off that awesome running game is more responsible for the Houston Texans deep passing game than Schaub.
