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 |

And no one is remotely concerned about hearing your opinions. You are unwanted. An abortion thrown in to a trash can. GTFO.

For a guy who isn't concerned if anyone agrees or disagrees, you sure spend a lot of time trolling this thread.

Harbaugh didn't get the quarterback he really wanted (Peyton Manning). He then bought time for the quarterback he drafted to develop so he could replace Alex Smith. Also we were told the same things about Pioli & Matt Cassel. We were told not to question the "exec of the decade" How'd that work out for us?

Good news is, you will be seeing much less of me when August comes around. That's when the preseason action gets started up... the intelligent discussions begins on other KC forums. All of this 12 year old mud-slinging here is good for a chuckle or two, but yeah... it gets boring quickly and greatly pales once activity builds where it counts.

Scott Pioli Dayton Moore Carl Peterson Allard Baird Pioli and Moore especially are great examples of highly touted guys coming in who have either completely failed on an epic level (Pioli) or shown significant inadequacies in judgment when it comes to individual players and roster management (Moore). John Dorsey and Andy Reid probably would have STILL gotten the benefit of the doubt from everyone if they hadn't immediately done the EXACT same thing Pioli did (and the EXACT same thing Chiefs leadership has been doing for 3 decades).

Seems a few spots too high. He has an arm like cassel. We do not have the te's he had. Only have bowe. If he or the chiefs want to do good jc needs 2500 total yards and the dline has to get push and sacks without blitzing.
This team needs to stretch the field. We do not have a qb for it. I dont see teams playing us any different than last year.there is a reason cassel and smiths career stats mirror. |

This. Also Andy Reid loses points with me because frankly Mike Vick was a turn over machine and did a bad job imo with the Eagles. That was a vet QB that was suppose to start being more efficient passing the ball. I don't see that Andy Reid is that much of a QB guru people are claiming he is. I like Andy Reid but I'm not "in like" with Andy Reid.
