A great QB can overcome the deficiencies of a less-than-great LT. But a great LT can do little to overcome the deficiencies of a less-than-great QB. If you don't have a great QB, the best LT in the world isn't going to make much difference in the overall production of the offense. Teams do whatever possible to find that great QB. The QB is the engine. The LT is simply one of the tires. It's the most important tire, but still only a tire. Why buy the best tires in the world to put on a car with a 2 cylinder engine? In today's NFL, it's proven to be much easier to replace LTs than QBs.

I don't know that they're all casual fans. I mean if you have season tickets are you a casual fan? Alot of people are just busy and don't have the time or realize what a waste it is 'for them' to spend their precious time playing internet GM.

And no, a great LT doesn't make an average QB look great. Willie Roaf was one of the best in history, and Green was average/above average. And we still couldn't sniff a playoff victory.

Change is scary. It is better to keep doing what keeps you average. Take out on pork chop night just sets everything else off.

I really wanted this regime to be different, and so far they aren't when it comes to QB. They are still fine with taking QB's that weren't good enough on other teams and that really irks me. Maybe things with Alex Smith will be different, but for now I'm going to make Reid/Dorsey earn my respect before I straight up give it to them. It's a trust issue I guess. If I kept loaning money to my friends and none of them ever paid me back... I'd be a fool to keep loaning friends money. I think Geno Smith not only has the talent, but the WORK ETHIC and DRIVE to want to be a great QB in this league. He is NOT Jamarcus Russel who was a lazy bastard wanting a big payday. If you study Geno Smith, he loves football and he wants to be great, along with being humble about it. I just hope he gets drafted by a franchise that will support him and give him what he needs to succeed instead of pigeonholding him into doing things that may not work to his strengths. I hope the Eagles get him tbh... Chip Kelley with Geno would be fun to watch. I dread Geno going to Buffalo or Oakland. |

Exactly.
Spending 2 hours a day on gardening, home improvement, or watching crap TV doesn't mean you have no life. That's just how you spend your free time.

While I understand your point.... that playoff loss was on the Chiefs lack of defense... not Trent Green. Our Offense was nearly unstoppable in a couple of those seasons.

Yeah well we had no D and Trent didn't finish the home opener without big Willie.

If you're excited about the prospect of Alex Smith coming here, you are a casual fan. I like alex smith, I don't think he is terrible, but you have to be some kind of special dumbass to think that the QB situation is settled based on that. And there are tons of people thinking/saying that.
