Did Alex Smith change your mind.

[Lprechaun]

I like many others wasnt ecstatic about the acquisition.
I didnt hate it as some on this board and understood it may have been the best available and we got him.
A season later and Im happy to have him as QB but still want to go after that drafter franchise QB in every single draft somehow someway.

I dont dread going into next season with him like I did the last few season with Piolis golden boy.

Did he change your mind on him?

Dude's had like 8 or 9 offensive coordinators in the same amount of years. Imagine actually being able to expand the same playbook with the same guy. Could make HUGE improvements!

Maybe he actually is a perfect fit for Andy Reid's offense?

Man, if only Jamal wasn't hurt.....

It's a start, but nope same opinion

I think Alex Smith is a great QB, he played out of his mind yesterday. He was scrambling and making things happen. The sack strip that he took was Fasanos fault, he stepped out of Mathis' way and gave him a free lane to Alex.

He needs a top tier receiver and a better tight end (not sure why the beard wasn't playing yesterday). If he had a couple more weapons he would put up big numbers.

If Alex Smith can do this with a marginally talented offense (without its best player most of the game), it is encouraging to think what he'll do after an offseason where the Chiefs hopefully upgrade the WR/TE position on offense.

Think TOP might be a tad overrated?

They didn't score points because TOP is overrated. It wasn't because we didn't rotate players. They scored points because our scheme was terrible in the second half. So no, I don't think TOP is overrated. I think hurry-up is overrated. There is still a lot to be said for a QB who is remarkably efficient on offense.

The only thing the Colts' 35 second half points proves is how remarkably terrible our defense was.

At least you're consistently stupid.

He absolutely gained my full trust and confidence moving forward. He played a great game. When you score 44 points, you absolutely should win in the playoffs every damned time.

That throw to Avery was perfect. He balled yesterday. Unfortunately because of the defense, I bawled.

I am so glad to be going into an off season not wanting the first thing on my wish list being a ****ing quarterback. Thank You Clark, Dorsey, and Reid.

I thought Smith was awesome, but you know the devil's advocates out there are still going to put the loss on his shoulders.

The Chiefs likely win if he doesn't cough up the football on the sack which led to a TD drive for the Colts.

The Chiefs likely win if he hits Cyrus Gray running wide open down the sideline for an easy TD.

The Chiefs still have a good chance to take the lead if he doesn't lose his composure and draw an intentional grounding penalty while knocking on the door of FG position.



Instead of focusing on the team aspect, and holding that horrific _efense accountable for giving up 35 points in one half of football, they will simply say that Alex Smith didn't do what was needed to win the game.

He coughed up the football, missed a wide open TD pass, and then drew a penalty that made getting FG position nearly impossible.


If the Chiefs get Alex Smith some legitimate receiving weapons, the sky is the limit for this guy. 387 yards and four TDs with this laughing stock receiving corps we fielded, and without the threat of Jamaal Charles was amazing.

QB was not the reason we lost the game, which is what everyone opposed to Alex Smith was just sure was going to be the reason we lost if we did lose. Its always one or the other. Elite play on one side of the ball and absolute ****ing dumpster fire on the other. Had even a middle of the pack defense taken the field we win that game by 3 scores.

[okcchief]

I would still rather wait and see, but I'll be ok if they extend him. He's a solid QB that can win if you give him the tools.

QB's left in the playoffs -

Rivers - 1st round

Kapernick - 2nd round

Brees - 2nd round

Manning - 1st round

Brady - 6th round

Luck - 1st round

Newton - 1st round

Wilson - 3rd round

You flat out DO NOT need to draft someone in the first round anymore to have a shot.

And with that said, Smith was the #1 overall. So shut the **** up, dumbshits. I mean really. The guy carried the god damn team in the playoff game and some of you are still talking about how he didn't make a play here or there. I swear to Christ I wish you bitches would get ****ing komodo dragon AIDS.

I remember him putting his body on the line multiple times trying to pick up yardage and first downs. Every other QB since Trent and Montana would have either checked it down to a really bad HB option behind the line of scrimmage or gone into a fetal position. What was semi scary about it was any other Chiefs player that got a little hit and fell on what in the hell that surface was, was getting concussions and having to leave the game.

He had 3 bad decisions but those should not have been even brought up if the Defense could have done 1 or 2 stops.

Sign him to a cap friendly deal and flush some of the turds on defense down the toilet so other better players can be brought in. Also let Sutton go coach some other team. Hell let him go be the head coach at Penn State. He obviously likes to see rape happen.
