Gross incompetence in shoring up the QB position at this point, with a final grade to be determined by next weekend. |

I disagree. With the WCO, you need an accurate, smart QB that can read defenses and distribute the ball. You don't need a guy that throws for 350 yards a week in order to win. |

Steve Young was playing at a high level for the 49ers WELL BEFORE then. Quote:
Now guess how many 300-yard games Joe Flacco had last year: hint, more than Alex Smith's ENTIRE CAREER. We are at a huge disadvantage if Alex Smith doesn't make a huge leap forward.

And why in the ****ing world do you believe that any of the draft eligible QB's are worth a ****ing shit? Because it's a "lottery" and someone just has to be good? |

As for options, I'm just fine with acquiring Smith, but not at the price the Chiefs surrendered. And not without acquiring a legit QBOTF, which Daniel is not. |

At least Alex has won a playoff game. That's at least better than giving up a 2nd for Matty boy who won 11 games with the greatest offense ever and didn't make the playoffs.

That's true. Although if the defense doesn't shit the bed, those games should be infrequent. Quote:
I think the Chiefs are at a huge disadvantage if Alex Smith doesn't play to the level he's displayed the past two seasons. I don't think he has to make a huge leap forward nearly as much as he needs to remain consistent. |

I'd argue that both McCarthy and Reid's version requires much more 3/4vert concepts than most. Additionally, McCarthy's incorporates a ton of back-shoulder/stop fade throws that are 10-20yds down the field. Hitting those from either the center or far hash requires some solid arm strength and anticipation/timing. Now, I don't think the last part is going to be a part of our offense. I do think as far as comparisons go, Reid's WCO (typically) uses a lot more 3/4vert concepts than say, Heckert's or even Holmgren. I do think that this will probably be adjusted for Smith and anticipate that there will be some changes on progressions (For example, in a trips RT set with the PC being a 3Verts concept, Alex Smith's 1 is going to be the X on the left and the 2 (which could/probably will be a hot adjust) will be Fasano/Moeaki on the cross (not quite a skinny post, think same route depth but not as hard of a break). It would require me to go through a lot of film from Alex and a lot from Reid (to compare how PCs changed with different QBs, as Kolb might be more physically comparable to Alex) to really get a solid idea on how route designs, personnel groupings, and playcalling would change. |

So if we play the Ravens, and Flacco throws for 350 yards, we should be satisfied with Alex Smith throwing for 200? Because the reason the Ravens won the SB is because Flacco threw for 331 yards in a playoff game.

Well, he'll get that chance in KC when Smith is out with injury.

Agree with that. The "unknown" always provides a bit of optimism.

Coaching wasn't the whole problem. Norv and Martz are good coaches.
