Alex might have done a bit better than our expectations for one year, but that still doesn't take away what his trade represented-- a castration of Chiefs fans' hopes and dreams.

We said, "Not this time! We've done this shit too ****ing often. Time to roll the dice on a franchise QB! Take your backup QB trade and shove it right back up your own ass, Fate."

Fate said, "No. It's you who will take your dreams and shove those right back up YOUR own asses. You will not only trade for Alex Smith, but you will pay out the ass for him. And you will LIKE it. And as an added bonus, he'll give you hope only to shit it away in the most brutal way possible in the playoffs."

The trade is still a complete tragedy in terms of the emotional turmoil it caused.

Anyone who thinks it was Smith who 'shit away' the playoff game against the Colts is seriously brain damaged.

He scored more points than any Chiefs QB ever has in the playoffs.

Injuries and a lack of depth on D shit that game away, end of story.

You're spot on with your "brain damage" take. I prefer to call them IDIOTS. They blame Alex for the terms of the trade the same way they blamed Dex for where he was drafted...

I don't blame Smith the way I blame Cassel for the playoff losses, but let's not act like Smith played perfectly. He was partly at fault for that loss. Again, if he could manage a sustained drive of longer than 3 lousy minutes in the 3rd and 4th quarters, the Colts run out of time and we win the game. One or two first downs would have done it.

If you want to point to a Chiefs QB who's 100% not at fault for his playoff loss, then you want Trent Green in 2003. Alex Smith could have done a few things to seal the victory that he failed at.

Yes, injuries and defense. That's 80% of the reason why we lost, but it's pretty ****ing digusting how our offense just completely shut the **** down in the 2nd half. We did EVERYTHING the Colts needed us to do (bad time management and all) in order to give them a shot at getting back into the game. And that's through all those 3-and-outs. It's an offensive failure coupled with RB injuries and a Knile Davis fumble, but SOMEBODY is at the helm of that offensive shutdown. Guess who that is?

Do you also not blame Alex Smith at all for the Giants loss when he was in San Francisco? There were a SHIT TON of things he could have done differently to win that game. Like convert a 3rd down. That would have helped. Same story here. I'm not even ****ing asking for more points. I'm asking for a single goddamn first down at ANY point in about a 25-minute period of regulation.

Can't muster that up? Then sorry, but you're partly to blame for the loss.

Did not put team on back.

Did not put points on board when needed.

The end.

He absolutly put the team on his back in the playoffs.

He is what I thought he was.

That said, I'll chalk up "guys dropping like flies" for the loss and move on.
