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 |

Me telling my boss to **** off tomorrow is a possibility.
Mac-Niners becoming halfway intelligent and/or interesting is also a possibility. The Universe is filled with possibilities!

Ive never understood this. Tony Romo has choked in EVERY SINGLE big time game he has been in. Yet people fawn over him. I would NOT take him over Alex Smith, in any game that matters. Never.

that's probably a much fairer comparison. I wouldn't trust Romo, in a must win, and I wouldn't trust Alex Smith if he had to carry the team.
Kudos.

Found a gif of Alex getting pumped-up for practice:

It's not completely out of the question for Alex Smith to get into the top ten, but it's highly unlikely.
I agree with Milk when he mentioned the confidence factor hurting Smith. If Alex can continue to pick teams apart on the short and intermediate routes while developing some confidence to "take what the defense gives you" in regards to passes that travel in the air 30 yards or more (once you have forced them to compensate to take away the short stuff) the guy can start to show the potential he showed when he came out as the top pick. I would also like to see him in the Pistol because that should take advantage of his mobility and decision making ability. Bowe is almost always open or commanding a double team Jamaal is gonna rape faces all year if be stays healthy. Moeaki and Fasano have shown to be able to get open and block well McCluster has been able to get open (though he lacks playmaking ability after the catch) This Kelce kid is huge and seems to have playmaking potential. Hopefully the guy hires a DD, though. That's a pretty good group of guys to be getting the ball to. |

Why not? They win 10 with Cassel, a buffoon head coach, and less talent. They won 7without Charles and berry with falco. guys are really not factoring in just how bad 40 turnovers sunk this team
