Keep in mind that he only played a half season.

Alex Smith was on his way to throwing 24 TD's last year in a run first conservative offense.
Now he's in a pass first aggressive offense with a solid surrounding cast. No reason to think he can't throw 23 to 25 TD's this year unless he gets hurt.

You could say that the reason he threw the TD's he did was because of the offense and that teams geared for the run.

people around here will bitch no matter what, so that's a given Nationally it will be about 2 things: Does Joeckel/Fisher suck? Was there a stud QBotF available @1.1 It can't really even be a surprise stud QB draft pick either because if all the teams pass on that draft pick then the Chiefs aren't any dumber than everyone else. ala Tom brady in round 6 or whatever. If another team selects a QB in the top 10 that turns out to be a stud then the Chiefs are going to look really stupid unless Alex Smith plays really well.

Trent Green, the ringleader of the Greatest Show on Earth that set a record for points scored in a season. That Trent Green. Never threw for 30 TDs in a season. Closest he ever got was 27. Yeah, I'm inclined to agree that Alex ****ing Smith will never break 30 either. He doesn't have to, no, but for the purposes of this conversation, there's a .002% chance that he ever does. |

Same type of situation here. Our offense is designed to attack and throw and teams will most definitely be in the box trying to stop Charles.

No, it's just logic. More aggressive passing is virtually guaranteed to mean more turnovers. I don't think anybody should expect 13/5 TD/INT ratio if he's being asked to do more than ride the running game with the occasional play action and dump offs to backs and ends thrown in. He's never played with anyone here, he's never played for Andy Reid and he's never thrown 450 passes in a season, much less 500 or 550. I don't think it makes much sense at this point to expect him to turn into Drew Brees.

Maybe it's just me, but I think setting the bar at 30 TD's is a bit...irrational.

That makes no sense. "Our offense is designed to attack and throw". So if we are going to throw, why are teams going to load the box? |

I guess teams like KC, Buffallo, Jacksonville etc...should start looking for coaches and GM's who want to win and boom they will become winners. |

Like I said before, I don't really care about Albert. I think Joeckel or Fisher have more upside potentially, but I can see why some would disagree. We just don't know what is going on behind closed doors. If he's wanting to be paid that much, it's not my money so I don't care, but if it's causing them not to be able to re up Houston or Berry etc, move on. |
