Here is the kicker. I pretty much agree with you on this. However the problem is being able to do that with the offense while maintaining the defense. You just can't spend that type of money of the offensive side of the ball to make Alice a servicable QB and keep the #1 defense in the league. The thing to do would be to get a QB that can overcome the the short comings of the offensive line and WR/TE position. It's just not a situation where one can have their cake and eat it to. "I think that most people are concerned with the offense. But despite what a very few but very vocal members state, ad nauseam, the blame does not lay entirely at the feet of Alex Smith. Whether or not Smith was the QB of the 2013 Chiefs, the fact remains that the interior of the offensive line needs a massive upgrade, they're weak at WR (especially slot) and the roster doesn't have the kind of TE that's usually required to run a successful WCO. All of those missing players with Alex Smith results in an offense that's struggling. Duh." |

2. I don't know about others, but I've said as much. His legs and ability to not turn it over have helped to not lose games. He's had a key drive here and there. He's still about the 20th best QB in the league however IMO. I'd like to try to do better than that. I love being 9-0, but I'd like to keep looking for that guy that can be a top 10 qb in the league for 10 years for us. Now can you admit that Alex Smith is whole lot more Steve Bono than Trent Green? Because yes, as there were Cassell comparison on one end there were also Trent Green/Phillip Rivers/Rich Gannon comparisons being made on the other end.

Alex Smith is a huge upgrade over Cassel, and anyone that doesn't see that, is missing it. Does he have some of the same tendencies, hell yes, instead of going fetal he runs. Unlike Cassel, he doesn't give the ball away, and that is the main reason why has been an upgrade. IMO, he has actually gotten worse since the first exhibition game. He is missing wide open receivers even when he has time, that he was leading perfectly earlier in the season. Is it because of the OL, or because he has lost confidence in them? Maybe. My real problem with this whole thing is that it is the same ****ing thing they have been doing and I am convinced they will continue to do. I am not wrong about Alex Smith, he is who he is, the facts are out there. I would dearly love for him to prove me wrong, but he is just another name in a long line of names at the most important position on the team. I am enjoying the wins as much as anyone, and the win in Buffalo was almost like magic, or willed. Will things continue to fall the right way for the Chiefs? Hopefully and they will need to. |

I wasn't here during the Giants game so I can't speak to that. But I'll mention the last two games. All we have heard is how Alex sucks BLAH BLAH BLAH Well lets see Cleveland Alex was 24/36 225 yards 2 tds 0 int That sucks? The Bills all we here is "All they could get is field goals" well if the WRs would have caught the freaking ball then they would have had 2tds But all we here is Alex Sucks. But anyone talking about O line or Wr play is just what's the term you haters love to use "Alexcuses" If you can't see that hate then your head really needs to be removed from your ass |

The fact is, the men that have turned this franchise around, for whatever reason, liked the idea of giving up two first round picks for AS, over the idea of drafting a QB. Again, we will never know why. We will just know that they did. I trust them, and with the team at 9-0 after just 9 months "in office", I don't know how you can't. |

One of three things will need to happen between now and the start of next season: 1. The current offensive line improves drastically 2. Stephenson, Watkins, Schwartz, Kush or Johnson will supplant a starter and play better than the starters. 3. The Chiefs are right back to square one regarding the offensive line and will need to draft and sign average players. There isn't a single person watching Chiefs games that doesn't believe that the WR and TE position needs an upgrade, regardless of Alex Smith. The WR's and TE's have all been below average this season, and that's not even debatable. Quote:
If Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady were available in free agency and the draft each year, that wouldn't be an issue. FINDING a future Hall of Fame QB is extremely difficult. Your supposition is hilarious at best and stupid at worst. |

No, those guys don't grow on trees. However, if you aren't looking at drafting because you are locked into a contract with you're "guy" or don't want to bring in someone that might threaten him then it doesn't really matter. Obviously we'll have a better direction after the season since I doubt they let Alex go into his last year without a contract if they are going to make him the guy. |
