Chiefs Alexander Douglas Smith: 2016 - Page 19

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 09-17-2016, 10:44 AM

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.

The Chiefs had won 10 games straight.

The Chiefs aren't running into Johnny Manziel, Jimmy Clausen or Landry Jones this year.

Landry, Stafford, Manning/Osweiler, Rivers, Tyrod Taylor, Carr, Rivers again, Clausen, Manziel Carr again and Hoyer.

Rivers is about the only QB on that list that KC played in that 10 game stretch that's objectively better than Alex. Stafford is what he is. Carr and Taylor have shown promise. Landry is a career backup at best. Hoyer is Matt Schaub without the talent.

Manziel and Clausen aren't even in the league and Manning was a shell of his former self.

You'd expect a game manager to beat JAG QBs.

Alex Smith isn't playing against Troy Aikman.

Got flamed for this in the Spring, but I said that last season was the ceiling with the coaching and personnel. The defense and running game can put away JAG QBs and the ho-hum 7-9/8-8 type of teams but when you play New England and Green Bay with great QBs or a more complete team in Cincinnati.. They're not winning and it's no going to be close.

KC didn't upgrade on offense outside of Schwartz (which doesn't look like much of an upgrade) and only have two receivers worth a spit in Maclin and Kelce. The defense is worse without Houston who might not even come back this year.

Finishing in the top half of the AFC West will be a struggle unless Conley takes a quantum leap and becomes a #2 WR guy that flashes #1 upside and the defense plays out of their minds.

Looks to me like Alex is going to sabotage Conley's career development. He can't get targets because he doesn't run the kind of routes Alex likes.

You're gonna have to back up that claim with some evidence.

Anyone who suggested anything other than "all is well, depth, Denver is toast, Super Bowl!!!!!" Got flamed.

3-yard out routes?

Maybe it was just a hangover from last weeks win but I dare say, Alex Smith started showing his age a bit today. He looked slow. He couldn't get away from anyone and his bread and butter in the spread offense is his ability to be sneaky fast. If he loses his legs I think he loses part of his game that makes him who he is. Because he's not a guy that can stand in the pocket all game and drop dimes.

wasn't decisive and seemed unusually unwilling to take off running..

maybe he is hiding an injury, because he did not look right.

I know.. I know... "excuses", right?

Just trying to make sense of it, because it is rare to see him play that poorly. He may rarely be an exciting QB, but he is usually steady solid. Not today.

Red Dawg · 09-18-2016, 05:08 PM

He does not have the magic nor the arm strength to try and produce it.

In58men · 09-18-2016, 05:11 PM

I think he could provide more for us if Reid wasn't such a scared bitch.

MTG#10 · 09-18-2016, 05:12 PM

Im not an Alex hater but anyone who thinks this guy is or ever was even close to the QB that Trent Green was is a damn fool.
