You know Andy Reid was going to stand by Alex Smith and that’s what he did on Monday when facing the press. Reid has been doing this for a loooong time so he let reporters have their fun for a few minutes and then he shut down any talk of Nick Foles playing in front of a healthy Alex Smith. Will it work? I guess it depends on how well Foles plays this weekend ... if he plays this weekend since the Chiefs doctors contend Alex actually doesn’t have a concussion.

Check out this exchange between Reid and reporters this afternoon.

Q: You were asked whether you had to cut back the game plan when Foles came in and you said no. Did he allow you to expand the game plan, maybe do some things that you couldn’t do with Smith?

Reid: No. Alex, I’m not sure we realize how good he is. We’ve opened this thing up further than maybe we’ve ever opened it up. He does a tremendous job. It’s a shame he didn’t have a chance to finish off the game plan because he would’ve had a ton of success with it. Not to take anything away from Nick. We didn’t have to cut a thing out for Nick coming in. That was a win-win for both guys. To think one would’ve done better than the other, I don’t believe that. If Alex would’ve been in, we would’ve done the same thing.

Q: You guys his four passes of 30 yards down the field. That’s unusual for you guys. Was that because the way the game was going or because of who was at quarterback?

Reid: I think it was part of the plan. That was all in the game plan. They would’ve been called. They were right on the first 15. They were coming up so whether it was Alex in there or Nick they were coming up. A couple of them formation wise, there was a little confusion on the formation and guys popped open.

Q: Does Foles give you more capability in that area?

Reid: No, I’m not even sure I like the way you’re going with this. Alex can do all the things that need to be done in this offense and do them at a Pro Bowl-caliber level.

Q: Is he your quarterback when he’s healthy then?

All you have is a partial game against one of the worst defenses in the league.

By all means though, turn what's left of this successful season over to an unknown.

Smiff wasn't making them look like one of the worst defenses in the league though. Foles did.

Does anyone REALLY think this offense will be worse than 23rd with Foles starting?

REALLY?

He would have to be really ****ing bad for that to happen.

Better to suck with what you know then take a chance on a unknown QB that's to risky for 75% chiefs fan base.

Smith has really underperformed given the talent that's around him. Foles performance gave us a glimpse of what this offense could be.

except for the 12 years of tape and stats of alex smith and the 5 years of tape and stats of foles....

is it concrete evidence? no. Is everyone saying to start Foles now? no.

People are saying his ceiling is higher and his floor is lower..and that the safest best bet this season is to roll with ALex...

What would you like as 'proof' ? Math? A thesis?

Sannyasi · 11-01-2016, 06:15 PM

The 16-3 in the last 19 games stat is so misleading. Why not say we are 17-8 since the beginning of last season. That's still a good record and its more honest.

If you collect a player's first handful of awful years stats on 1 team... and then add them to his next handful of good stats on another team... when discussing how good the player is now.. That, I get as being dishonest or misleading.

.. but I'm curious to know why one of these sets of stats in your post would be any less honest than another...

Looking at Foles' last 20 games, yes.

Pffft. Foles came off the bench against a shit defense and one that didn't plan for him. Ergo, Foles is bestest.
