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 |

Then your dumbass brought up a shitty Bill Williamson article which said you had ONE more top player, being Manning, so you proved MY point. JFC you're a stupid Donkey troll. You shouldn't call anyone's football IQ out when you're the one using a Bill ****ing Williamson article to prove a point.

duncan_idaho,
To expand a little on my last post, I am in agreement with what Sac has said best in regards to what Smith is going to do for our defense this season. By keeping them fresh and not giving them a short field to defend, I expect our defense to be better. Much better in fact. And if we actually start playing with a lead in the 2nd half, I expect this team to be able to pin their ears back and get after QB's... something we didn't have the luxury of being able to do last season. Again, this is my opinion. |

The donk OL, WRs and TEs were looking bad until Peyton got there.
Alex Smith isnt some savior, but he is a sizable upgrade to what we had in Cassel/Quinn and I can see the team playing much better with him at QB. Anyone that thinks going from Crennel to Reid and Cassel/Quinn to Smith isnt gonna raise the level of play, across the board on this team, is joking themselves. I expect a better version of the 2010 Chiefs. |

I'm watching the 1980 Oakland Raiders story on NFLNetwork's America's Game right now. It's the Jim Plunkett story. In some ways, I expect we could duplicate here this season what the 1980 Raiders did behind Plunkett.

It wasn't that long ago that the offense was going to be SO much better under Haley, instead of the RRPP of Herm. That the QB's were going to really benefit from a QB guru such as Jim Zorn. Christ, every offseason some of you all said "no, THIS is the year we have a Top 5 defense - RAC is the best DC around." It amazes me how the coaching went from top-notch to complete shit to the scapegoat for winning 29 games in 6 years. |

I appreciate your point of view even if I disagree with it. You're reasonable and logical and have made me think about some things I otherwise would have.

I said the Broncos are deeper at TE and then I proved this by pointing out an article from Williamson who has one of the Broncos TEs listed but not Maoeki. Your only defense is to claim Williamson sucks. Which is typical of a tard like yourself when you've just been handed your ass in an argument. Keep ****ing that chicken, loser.

Enough to get into the playoffs. Not really enough to do anything once you get there, when you examine Smith's performances against strong, playoff-caliber defenses. The defense still won't be as good as San Francisco's has been the past two seasons. I also think it's a little unreasonable to expect Smith to be as efficient while throwing more often and being asked to be more aggressive as he was in San Francisco.

A 2-14 team (that has won 29 games in 6 years) has more talent than a 13-3 team.
I've officially seen everything. |
