Most Chiefs fans will make excuses for Alex for AT LEAST next season. He would have to hold KC back next season and at the start of 2014 before average KC fan gives up on him. It is crazy how strong the cult of Alex Smith is. You see about a dozen of Mavericks and Macs on each ESPN article about him (Including one from a few days ago in which Teicher posits that Chiefs fans should NOT expect him to be more than he has been the past two years).

[QUOTE=Jakemall;9935700
What it tells us is that Kaep was not as consistent at getting completions but still averaged more yards per attempt than Alex by an ever so slight margin. It doesn't tell us if that was a result of YAC or deeper throws. Now based on what I saw, I'd agree he did throw deeper. That is a completely different thing than "throwing to his backs" which by the way, Kaep did more than Alex did. [/QUOTE] Alex Smith received more YAC on a per completion basis than Kaepernick did, so sorry. This isn't a Kaep vs Alex on the whole thing(I can do that later). This is a "Mac9er loves talking out his ass" thing. The minute a new QB started playing for the 49ers, they went vertical a whole lot more with the same talent. So no, Harbaugh did not "play it safe" because of sub par WR talent. |

Kaepernick threw nearly twice as many (82.4 percent more) passes 21+ yards downfield than Smith did. There's no way around it. San Fran threw deep MORE often with Kaepernick. By a lot.

^ so Alex was .625 in the RZ (15th in the league)
... and Kaep was .419 (29th) Kaep essentially HAD to make more downfield throws because our defense was hurting and giving up more points and yards. edit: add to that, a backyard balling QB that scrambles around like a sprayed roach is going to shake up a secondary and be able to pitch shit up deep. This helps them mask that they can't quite read initial defenses all that well. see: Cam Newton |

Yeah, like that NE game, when he threw those 3 strikes to Walker, Crabtree, and Moss in the 1st half to make it 31-3. All those yardzzzzz and pointzzzz the defense gave up in that 1st half! This is getting to comical levels. OldMan, you don't really believe this horseshit do you? |

ill readily admit im here because of Alex Smith. I like the guy. im a niner fan though, but I came here because every time alex is brought up it turns into an alex smith bash thread. Well, that really hasn't changed, but this board is awesome. So other than to troll, and to warn all the good chiefs fans about how bad alex smith sucks, why are you here?
