I am shocked at this take.

Alex Smith has been exactly what I expected. I wasn't thrilled when we traded for him, but I expected him to be able to not turn the ball over, and to lead a few drives a game. Wins are wins no matter how you get them so props to Alex for getting it done! 2-0!

I've been much more impressed with Alex than I anticipated.

and Cassel is a Franchise QB right, and you sir are quite eloquent. Damn right, a Alex is a sheer game manager like Bono and he'll be nothing more like Bono he'll flash some talent but Alex will never get us to a Super Bowl or even the AFCC.

Why?
When has Tony Romo ever proven to be consistently clutch? Alex Smith has proven to at the very least, to always give his team a CHANCE. That's not something that I have seen from Romo in the past decade. His chokes are frequent. The bobbled fg attempt, the choke against the jets, the choke against the saints last year, the choke against Washington.

There is so much suck in this thread...246 page of guys wanting to be right more than wanting the Chiefs to win.
Isn't it just easier to admit that Alex is better than you thought he'd be? Nobody claimed he'd be Dan Marino, but he's 2-0. |

The thing I like, no, LOVE about the guy is that he goes through his progressions, stands in the pocket and delivers the ball. Cassel never did that. He would stare guys down and throw it no matter what the coverage was, or instantly throw the checkdown.
I love that Smith is tough enough to take a sack rather than heave up a prayer that gets picked off. When watching him, you know that if he throws the ball, there's something there. The guy just refuses to force anything. That can be a double edged sword, but there are so many guys out there that cant stay patient and try to force the ball and they turn it over. So far, the guy's decision making has been on. I thought he was great in that Cowboys game because he was really getting the shit beat out of him for a stretch there. We couldn't block a damn soul. When this offense finds a way to get Jamaal Charles some damn carries, Alex is just going to be that much more dangerous when he's not being forced to be one dimensional by the playcalling.

Yesterday, while watching the game, I was getting a bit frustrated with the offense as a whole during the 3rd quarter.
Then it just hit me how much better Smith is than Cassel. I mean he's just light years ahead, despite his shortcomings. Sure, he's no Peyton, but we're stuck with him and he's not all that bad.
