Alex Smith will be the Chiefs’ QB in 2017, but he knows the pressure is on

His first read is Maclin.

He looks at Maclin and then the corner (to see if Hill took the corner with him) and once he sees the corner stay home and coming down to try to make a play on the ball, he moves to the other side of the field and panicked.

Even after missing Hill, he also misses the deep route at the top of the screen while moving right. He splits a double team and is gone for a TD, too ...he's even got his arm up trying to get Smiths attention.

Alex was a dumpster fire that game.

“If I were running a team, of course you would continue to bring in young talent — are you kidding me, the quarterback touches the ball every single play,” Smith said. “It’s hard to develop guys, it’s hard to find guys. Every year, you want to be taking a shot — that’s just smart football.”

This comment and Reid's comment about winning it with Alex are telling comments.

Alex is the starter for 2017 (health permitting) but this team is going to draft a future starter.

I think so too.

I don't expect him to not be our quarterback next year. Without a high pick at QB or without a huge trade (which I don't want) it's hard to totally replace a QB in one year without already having someone waiting in the wing. I do ****ing expect these ****heads running this franchise to finally pull their pathetic heads out of their asses and work on finding the next guy up. Alex will be here this next year, and that's fine. But if we go too much longer without finally addressing the QB position then Dorsey/Reid/Hunt will have finally been proven as certifiable reeruns.

“For both of us, I think you realize the opportunities are less and less. You can't take them all for granted. We all felt like we had an awesome opportunity and we didn’t get it done. So even more so, let’s press on the gas and let’s go.”

This part really stuck out to me. It pretty much says "you blew an amazing opportunity and you get next year which could be your last."

They are going to draft a QB early and sit him...and Alex knows it.

They are going to move up in the first for somebody, I bet.

Get the 5th year option and let the kid sit for a year or 2 before taking over a very talented team.

I doubt they are able to sit at 27 and wait...somebody will trade up in front of us.

Again.

The problem is that you are thinking rationally. The Chiefs have never thought rationally at QB. Whatever plan they have they will find a way to **** it up. We're going to either take the wrong guy or someone will trade in front of us and take the guy we want. It will happen because, Chiefs.

at 27 you will be drafting a fourth round qb in the first round.

Be prepared to b disappointed. They'll sit on their asses and watch every QB come off the board.

Pretty much common sense that this would be the way.

Smith would have had to play amazing football to get some extension this offseason... and that didn't happen. He would have had to be absolutely miserable to get booted this offseason.. and that also didn't happen.

Every year, jobs are up for grabs.. just ask Tony Romo.

There is going to be nothing at QB2 once Foles is shown the door. Of course KC will draft a top rookie or bring in a decent vet. Of course Alex will have to earn more years from his 2017 play.. and that's if he even wants to at that point.

Like, he wasn't even part of the progression?

What kind of high school passing offense is this shit?

Missing Tyreek is egregious but any capable QB can throw West open for probably a 40+ yarder there as well.

QB lacks any type of anticipation.

Alex Smith is out of excuses, and he needs to deliver the best season of his career

If Smith does not have the best year of his career, something has gone wrong. If Smith does not have the best year of his career, and Jeremy Maclin has not suffered an injury and the offensive line is better than a year ago, then something has gone wrong with Smith.

A huge chunk of the Chiefs’ success depends on that not happening.

A huge chunk of their success depends on Smith proving he is more than a guy good enough to almost win with.

Assuming the offensive line is improved, there is more than enough around Smith for him to shake the notion that he is holding back the bigger cause. Those of us on his side of Kansas City’s biggest sports debate are counting on that.

If it doesn’t happen this year, we’re all out of excuses.

No more ****ing chances. This dillweed either blows up next season or blows the **** OUT.
