It's time to move on from Alex Smith.

I agree with the OP. He doesn't make plays to help them win games. He just stays out of the way. That doesn't work in 2017 unless you have a generational defense. It isn't the Chiefs only problem by a long shot but QB is their biggest one in terms of what separates them from postseason success.

Almost close. Alex smith stays out of the way until the 4th, like he did today. He couldve went out there and kept slinging it. Instead he waits, and hopes Ben has a turnover, or he hopes and waits the defense does something great, or special teams, so that he doesnt have to be the "problem".. By the time he decided it was time to play, we only had one chance, and it was ruined by a hold....

It's irritating as shit. Now I'll credit him for being pretty good at it. Arguably, he should have tied the game up today. But it's amazing how incapable the guy is playing with urgency. When we go up 20 points, he turns into a turnover machine. When we're down or the game is close, he refuses to put the ball away.

Why can't he ever be the guy who goes up by 20 points for 4 quarters? Frustrating as shit.

Problem is though, We wont draft a Quarterback high. We just wont do it. If we do, thatd be awesome, I just honestly dont see it happening while we have alex smith at this time in his career.

I honestly think that reid and dorsey know they need a better QB in the future, but I dont think, that they think, they need one right now. For example I think they will be drafting one high in about 3-4 years. But as of right now, I think they see a window with Alex even though most of us see that window being AT BEST an AFC champ apperance and nothing more.

Semen could have done what Alex did this year for a fraction of the price.

Maybe if our receivers could catch a damn ball, we wouldn't be having this conversation, and everyone would be saying how Alex thrashed the shit out of the Steelers. Did you guys not see all of the ****ing drops tonight?

You can't have it both ways.

There were 2 or 3 drops.

Besides, every team has receivers that drop the ball.

We need a qb that can offset his teammates' mistakes. Alex just isn't capable.

True, but not all drops are created equal.

Dropping a screen pass and dropping a 35 yard big play or a crucial 3rd down have drastically different consequences.

I'm not here to defend Alex, but KC had some loser drops in this game. Andy Reid ran the ball like 4 times in the first 45 minutes.

Alex isn't' at the top of my scapegoat list for this game. Watching the offense is just inane. Force Alex to play like a real QB or find a coordinator who will. Actually TRY to establish a running game. The gimmicky offense shit is tired.

And maybe if Steelers receivers could catch a damn ball they may have scored a TD. Remember the pass that went through the hands of the Steelers receiver that would have been a 1st and goal on their last(?) FG drive?

Everyone has drops.

You couldn't see it on tv, but the announcers were clear that a ball that went off the hands of Ware was a clear catch and run touchdown had it been caught. Kelce's drop. Albert Wilson's drop on a crucial 3rd down. There were more plays that should've been made.

KC was 4th worst for dropping passes this season. That really says something when you all hate the **** out of a guy who actually has us winning again and think he won't take chances, etc. I wouldn't either with those brick hands on the other end.

Surely weren't winning before him and had how many pro bowlers on the team that won how many games? We had 5 or 6 Pro Bowlers in 2012-2013. How many games were won? 2-14? Yup.

Lots of edits... the shit year was a drastic haze of drunken debauchery.

Collinsworth literally said Smith missed that throw to Ware. You're delusional.

Collinsworth got it wrong and didn't correct himself. That was a missed pass by Ware.
