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 |

Jason Campbell... Anyone who doesn't tie us down really. Not concerned about barely missing the playoffs this year. We can do that with anyone.

In 2013, Alex Smith hasn't come close. Don't even get me started on the 300-yard games comparison.

There have been a lot of QBs lately that couldn't get us to the playoffs.

Is Colin Kaepernick more talented, yes. He is a better qb today than alex smith. I don't think so. His ceiling however is much higher. Although, he could sophomore slump badly this year.

And what year in his Career did he do that? What year 11 or 12. And it was 3600 yards with 32 TD's and 24 INT's. Yeah that's a winning combo. Your argument is awesome. |

Question:
If the "safe" strategy taken by Reid and Dorsey in this draft ends how many of us think it will-- setting up a firm foundation for nothing but game managing broke dick veteran QBs to take giant shits on this already feces-stained franchise with no hope of sustained playoff success because of the lack of a true QB-- will you finally put to rest this horrible strawman true fanism about "Good thing we didn't just draft a QB in the first round just to draft one! That would have been awful!" As it is, I see a potentially stellar offensive line with a stupendous RB and a decent WR1. A game manager can win regular season games with those weapons. But not playoff games. And especially not championships. I'm still in awe that so many of you love that we didn't take a risk on being a truly great team that fans of other teams around the league talk about like they currently do the Seahawks and 49ers. Eric Fisher was a safe pick. That's all you ****ing care about. Drunk rant over. |
