Jaworski rates Chiefs QB at No. 20 among NFL starters
Jaworski rates Chiefs QB at No. 20 among NFL starters
The Kansas City Star Former NFL quarterback-turned-broadcaster Ron Jaworski ranks new Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith No. 20 among the NFL's 32 starting quarterbacks. That's according to Jaworski's ratings on ESPN's MediaZone site, transcribed from his three-minute daily segments dubbed "Jaws' QB Countdown" on SportsCenter and NFL Live. Smith, of course, was acquired in a trade from San Francisco this offseason, and has yet to throw a pass in Kansas City (aside from OTAs, that is). Here are some excerpts from Jaworski's evaluation of Smith: “A year ago, Smith was coming off his best season in the NFL, having led the 49ers to the NFC Championship. This year, he’s the starting quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs. It was a great move by (Chiefs coach) Andy Reid to acquire Smith. “The defining element of Smith’s play is efficiency. He executes the offense the way it’s designed, and he makes very few mistakes. Last season – for the second year in a row – he was exceptional on first down. In 2012 he led the NFL in first-down passing, with a quarterback rating of 119. Much of it came off play-action, or in the case of the 49ers, hard run-action out of base personnel. There was no better play-action quarterback last season than Smith. He had a quarterback rating of over 132. “Smith has been outstanding out of multiple tight end personnel over the last couple of seasons. No quarterback has thrown the ball more with three tight ends on the field. You don’t see that very often in today’s NFL. “This play was beautifully designed with all three tight ends to the same side. First, look at the impact of the run-action on the two linebackers and the safety. This was hard run-action. Then you see that Delanie Walker’s vertical route occupied the corner. That left Vernon Davis matched on a safety, a safety that initially reacted to run. He had no chance on Davis’ wheel route. “One area Smith improved in 2012 was in the pre-snap phase of the game. He was much better at the line of scrimmage checking and audibling. “It will be interesting to see what Andy Reid does in Kansas City. Don’t be surprised if he turns Smith loose a little bit and features an up-tempo offense with an emphasis on quick throws. Remember, Alex Smith played for Urban Meyer at Utah.” Other QB's that Jaworski has analyzed so far: No. 32 Matt Flynn No. 31 Jake Locker No. 30 Kevin Kolb No. 29 Chad Henne No. 28 Mark Sanchez No. 27 Christian Ponder No. 26 Brandon Weeden No. 25 Michael Vick No. 24 Ryan Tannehill No. 23 Carson Palmer No. 22 Sam Bradford No. 21 Josh Freeman |

He got the Best Coach and staff available. Best GM available. Best draft pick available. Best and second best QB's available. Best Corners available. Cleaned house and apologized to the fans. We have a damm good team. When you focus on putting some expectations on a team- you will be disapointed every time. It starts by changing the Losing culture that cloaked Arrowhead. Stop living in the past and embrace the Now. Lets go Chiefs!! Going to be an exciting year. |

Its a much better idea to bitch about everything, forget the upside and focus on the negatives. That's what real smart fans do. |

Have you posted anything that wasn't bitching and whining in recent history? JFC you have become a ****ing turd among turds. Alex Smith is the QB, you cant change that and all your bitching won't make 1 iota of difference in whether he succeeds or not. All you do is ****ing complain and bitch. It must suck to live in your world at this point. |

I wonder if there is a QB that wants to win more than Alex this year? Is there? Yes they all want to win but..
He gets screwed over by his coach he trusted and the unwritten rule that you dont lose your spot after an injury. Has to sit on the bench and listen to how great the new guy is and how bad he is. Never once complaining mind you. Then shopped around, drug through the mud until he is the worst QB to ever play. His new team fans welcome him like the aids tree. Even though he is leaving a Loaded 49ers team and coming to the Worst team in the NFL last year in the middle of a rebuilding year. Noone wants him, believes in him and have called him every name in the book. Yet he stays positive and praises the city, the team and the fans. Pretty classy- and shows True Leadership- something this sorry ass team needed in the worst way. He is not just some slub on his last leg trying to get one more payday- he wants to win and let his talking be done on the field. He wants to prove everyone wrong and shove it the 9ers face for ditching him. Until he proves me wrong on the field I think he deserves a chance. Personally I think he will have a big year!! |

I liked him for about 2 seconds too. Your goddamned, mother****ing point? Include an actual showing in a playoff game and not a Casselian ass-whipping, and I'll be inclined to agree with you. Make no ****ing mistake: This team sees some post-season, or these moves were GIANT FAIL.

If you're a Browns fan, why the interest in either team?

Come on now, its been well known that I like the 49ers, since I was a kid, and became a browns fan when my grandpa died in 91. That was his favorite team. Ive loved em both. Always have, always will.
