Alexander Douglas Smith: 2016

[Mr. Flopnuts]

We wouldn't we want to roll out another Alex Smith thread?!?!? Listen, for the Clay haters, this will probably be the thread that gets him banned. He can't help himself, right? Let's go!!!

First off, as many of you know, I have been very critical of Alexander Douglas Smith. Wasn't happy with the trade, HATED the extension, and have burned him to the ground from the beginning. So ****ing sick of the retread QB's.

So, that said Alex Smith is my Daddy. I mean, I just have to own that at this point. Here's why. He's never had continuity in a system. That guy had a new offensive coordinator just about every year until Jim Harbaugh showed up. And he flashed a little bit. That said, it sure looks like San Fran traded their best QB to us in favor of some douche that's starting some thing all over the league, while riding the bench to a guy named Blaine Gabbert.

Alex is now in his 4th year of the same system and it's showing. He's getting better. Why is he my daddy now all of a sudden though? Because he proved that he's more than just a game manager. He made some ****ing incredible throws against the Chargers last week. The back shoulder Maclin throw, the Maclin throw where Jeremy was almost killed, The Spencer Ware throws. Twice he hit him downfield (like, way more than 8 yards!), and then finally the Kelce throws.

People can give Spencer Ware a lot of credit, he is deserving of it after the monster game he had. Make no mistake about it though, Alexander Douglas Smith personally put this team on his back and willed them to victory. 1 play at a time. 1 throw at a time. He's a leader, and it reflected in the locker room after that game. They trust Alex now. They trust that he has what it takes to will them to victory in any game.

Alex isn't just a game manager anymore. He's a game changer, and a leader. This team could go 6-10 this year and I'll say the same thing. He has the ability and he's proven it. Now let's see where they go with it. I'm officially a YUGE Alex fan. What do you think? I'll take your comments off air.

Since you went thru the trouble, create a chart of elway and aikmans stats and put them adjacent to Smith's so we can see if Alex is really a fraud like you claim

[Hammock Parties]

Sorry, I will not speak to you.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

Love how Clay cherry picks stats and highlights sacks but doesn't include turnovers...

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

I can accept that people aren't full supporters of Smith but this imbecile full on despises him and wants the Chiefs to lose to prove a point.

That's what I do not understand.

Charles - Bowe - McCluster - Avery - McGrath - Fasano

generates more TDs than

Maclin - Kelce - Charles/West/Ware - Thomas - Conley - Avant?

Pretty sure Alex isn't close to any of those.

This is just stupid.

All during times when you could hit people and there werent as many rules to help the WR

Jim Plunkett, Phil Simms, Jon Kitna, Jeff Blake, Chad Pennington, Bernie Kosar, Richard Todd, David Garrard, Matt Hasselbeck, Jake Delhomme, Doug Williams, Joe Flacco, Matt Schaub, Bill Nelsen, Marc Bulger.

That's the combined list of comparable QBs through 10 years and a career's worth of NFL play according to Pro Football Reference.

I think at least three of those names are valid comparisons and that's not meant to disparage any of the three or Alex.

Im starting to think you're right. Either this one or the GDT today. The good senator might go on a bender, especially if the Chiefs lose today... Which is entirely possible, maybe even probable.

We're still waiting for you to tell us about those 3 SBs that Terrell Davis led the Broncos to.

Simms, Pennington and Nelson?

Trent had a 3 year stretch where he was the most productive QB in the league, and that was during Manning's prime. Smith has never even had a single 4000 yard season. And Trent didn't pick up 90% of his yards throwing sideline to sideline. I can't believe we're even having this discussion. Other than Montana and Dawson Trent was the best QB this team has ever had.
