... and if true, you sign up to a KC forum to bang your head some more instead of smiling that that the QB is gone from your team and the head-banging is over? Me thinks you banged your head too much and have now gone full potato.
( only reg. season stats ) Dilfer had a 59% completion percentage... 1,500 yds.. 12 TD / 11 INT and a 76.6 passer rating in his SB winning year. Grossman's only good season, he had a 54.6 % comp percentage... 3,193 yds.. 23 TD /20 INTs and a 73.9 passer rating. Smith's last 2 yrs - 65.7 % (comp average) .... 4,881 yds .. 30 TDs / 10 INTs ... and a 97.4 (av) passer rating. ^^^^ Now compare those numbers to what Smith has been doing for the last 2 years... You, sir... have colossally FAILED...

I was particularly pointing out that just because they get to the playoffs, does not necessarily mean Smith carried them. Also, it would be more pertinent to use 1 year for Smith's stats since that is what you used for the other two.

There are many different ways a QB can "carry" his team. Sometimes, it can be found in the dazzling 400 yard games that so many get obsessed with. Other times, it can be from simply being efficient when you need to be, and minimizing turnovers. Other times, it is driving your team to regain a lead in the 4th quarter, when the game is on the line. The stats show to me that, for the most part, Dilfer and Grossman were "carried by their team" to achieve their very brief success. Whereas, for the last 2 seasons, Alex has done far more in his role to be able to say that he was NOT "carried" by his team. In other words, if over each of the last 2 seasons, Smith had these numbers? Quote:

Some people, I'm not saying you, want to blame him for team failures, but won't give him credit for team successes.

KC is ranked 12th right now in offensive efficiency... and that is including the reality that Smith is averaging 198 yds per game... Jamaal Charles is averaging a mere 66 yds per game on the ground... and that KC is in the top 10 for dropped passes... and our D is stopping opponents to a 9 pts per game average... so how often has Alex needed to pitch the ball up for big yardage?

I think the whole thing got out of hand. I was referring to the post that said if they make the playoffs, then he was carrying the team. I was just pointing out that the poster left out all other variables, and I was simply stating two shitty QB's who made it through the playoffs based on the team around them. I wasn't actually trying to start another Alex Smith debate.

Oh yes... the other games couldn't possibly matter.

I have always wanted to see Smith make a handful or so of deep post or fly throws. As per usual, his pass protection and game circumstances tend to keep those attempts down. Maybe it IS part of his unwillingness too... but again, the combination of poor pass pro + underwhelming deep threats + lack of deep shots can't be dismissed. They have surrounded Alex for years now.

It matters that he doesn't piss down his leg and screw it up and of course he still need to show up and be competent... but, in the big picture, talking about what's required to win in the playoffs, being efficient against teams like Jacksonville and Dallas doesn't really mean anything. That's why that 21-5 stat (or whatever) is kind of pointless when looking at needs to be done to win hardware... you could have plugged in at least half the starting quarterbacks in the league on that team and they would have put up that kind of record.
