Welp, it should be. There is a crying need for the word "welp" to be a real word.

Smith is only slightly better than Cassel, and that is generous.

I trust the tweet that I saw that said the percentage that the Chiefs would be drafting a qb in the first round to be 90%. Just let Alex Smith baby the offense this year, don't screw it up, and keep building the team.

I could say he has thrown more TDs this pre-season than Kaepernick has. Doesn't mean much either way. Yawn. |

Alex did not throw a TD in Week 1.
He's not a guy who enjoys that sort of thing, judging by his career.

Again, this is pre-season. Although the steelers game will still be vanilla, they'll be playing it a bit more like a real game. Should be fun to see. But it's s till pre-season. Doesn't mean a whole lot. |

Oh, but Charles didn't get it in on that pass... so no TD for you, Alex! One yard shy of getting a TD pass due to the receiver slipping.... AND converting that 3rd down. Too bad! ( as if that really matters.. or does converting the 3rd down with a pass to the goal-line for an easy 1 yd TD run right after just take away from the QB ) SMDH .. |

As the Casselitis sets in, the butthurt will feed my darkside power.
Can't wait!

But did you see the part about the 90% sure of the chiefs drafting a qb in the first round next year? Now, second, the Chiefs won 2 games last year, no team has gone from having the number one overall pick in the draft to winning the super bowl the very next season. To go from 2 wins to the playoffs, is a successful season. I understood as an Alex Smith guy, and I said this from the moment I got here, that Alex Smith was a place holder. That's all he is. He is a guy that is under contract for two years. If they draft a qb in the first round next year, I expect for him to at some point to take over for Alex Smith and then Alex Smith will leave after his contract is up. But before he goes, he will give the rookie qb time to adjust, time to learn with no pressure, and take over. Who ever is drafted is going to have a much higher ceiling than Alex Smith has. Sure, Alex Smith can maybe this year get close to 4k yards, maybe 25 tds, and that's his max potential. To build a winning team, you have to build a winning culture. Alex Smith can help build that, and then be given the Kaepernick treatment, and move on to another team. Im fully aware of that being the most realistic scenario, and its the right one. At the end of the day, this is a business, and the business is winning. And that's coming from the side of me that watched Ted Thompson, and John Dorsey trade a legend like Brett Favre. I have no doubt that they will cut the cord when the time is right. Alex Smith is what was needed this season for the Chiefs to start that road back to being a successful franchise. He is not like Matt Cassel. Matt Cassel was a flash in the pan who had his major flaws masked by superior offensive talent. Alex Smith was a limited qb with limited offensive weapons and thrived on not turning the ball over, and taking the safe play. He is in the same exact situation here with the Chiefs. Outside of Bowe, and Charles, this team has no playmakers....... I never had a delusion that Alex Smith is going to be the savior of the Chiefs. But he can be a helper in the rebuild of the Chiefs.

While I am not certain that Alex will win it all with KC, I believe that he can... that he can be more than just some serviceable place-holder. ... but even if that's all he can be (serviceable)? Then KC will gain back respectability... for the fans and players. That's important... and in doing even this, I don't think bringing in Alex cripples KC from being able to draft +/or develop their "true" QBotF franchise guy. |
