I think such rankings are pretty much fan horseshit. All of these guys shit the bed at times... and other, lesser QBs step up and step back... all shit. Much has to do with good/great QBs being privileged with consistent schemes, great coaches and players around them.. being developed very well in their early years to handle when later things around said QB are less than great.

Pardon me, Pedersen was on 610 today, not 810.

Overall though, mixing in different eras, I think it's a much more complicated question... it was more of a team game back in the day, so there were guys like Marino who put up the stats, but didn't get a ring, and guys who coasted (relative to other QBs) to a championship with an elite defense or simply an overall better team game that wasn't focused on the QB.

So far he looks like the same exact QB he did the last 2 seasons. He's not a world-beater but he'll show up in the clutch when you need him the most. Even in this last game, yeah it wasn't a perfect game (I'm pretty sure no QB in the league throws a perfect game every single week--just look at Kaepernick) but when we needed a TD the most he came through, got the TD and the W. Also not sure why you're discrediting his win against the Saints. No other QB in NFL history won a playoff game with 4 lead changes in the last 5 minutes. |

He's fine. Adequate. The post you quoted was me responding to talks of a long-term extension for him. The guy has been so far this year about what he has been the past two years: Somewhere between the 15th and 20th-best QB in the NFL. Not a star QB, but not a guy who hurts you. I have higher aspirations for the QB position for KC than that over the rest of the decade. Andy Reid seems to believe Alex Smith CAN be better than he has been, and I hope he's right. If he's not... I would hope they keep trying to find the star QB, which gives you the best chance to win consistently. I would think a "clutch" QB would perform better on third down than Alex Smith has. And the Saints game... yes, he played well late. But the Saints were: 1) Not elite that year; 2) sporting one of the 2-3 worst defenses in the league. I included that because that's not the type of playoff win I'm talking about.
