Problem is, that with Smith here, the Chiefs are not going to draft an early round QB. This I believe, is the main reason why most of us do not want AS around. That and well, he is not a winner to begin with. |

He's an OK upgrade from Smith (12-15 QB in the league rather than 16-20ish) but not a major one. If you could do it for $2 million more a year or so, it would be worth it. Of course, since Cutler is a 2014 FA and Smith is under contract for another year, it's all just discussion.

But there's some red flags based on the stories and I doubt the guy I know would actually call him out on it. He hasn't done a good job hiding his temper against teammates and coaches. Including a public feud with Tice. And there's plenty of smoke including public comments from teammates that lead you to believe he's not really that well liked in the locker room. |

Additionally, I wouldn't hold the comments about Tice against him. I suspect that's just a bad personality mesh + Jay being bitter about Martz.

His first year he finished, but he was given the job when the starter wasn't winning. He finished his 2nd year out.
so going for 3/9. 07 and 08 are lost to the same injury..it was pretty major. 09 he was coming back from injury and took his job back halfway into the season. 10 he had an injury and Troy Smith took the job for a couple of games until defenses figured him out and they went back to Alex. 11 the concussion injury would not have kept him out except for the rule change...otherwise he probably would have finished that year out...and maybe Kaep would be playing for KC and no one would have followed because we wouldn't know what Kaep could do. But yes, he does seem to get injured often. |

The dude is known for tapping out at 21-22 PPG his whole career. So, not surprised we only scored 21 against Denver. Or in any game.

or the endzone INT and failing on the deciding series near the goalline at the end of the game.

If the Chiefs D has come out from under the covers, they could learn a lot from this game.

We should have scored in the 40s against Denver and SD. |

No one is kidding themselves here in thinking Alex is ever going to be one to shoulder an elite offense by himself like a Manning or Brady will. I know that, you know that. But (and this gets skewed because the same argument was made for Matt cassel, when it's just not the same in this instance) if you put elite or near elite players around smith, who's to say he isn't a top 12-15 ish qb? If you believe he can, that 2 million could make a difference in who you can bring in. Obviously you'd love to have Aaron Rodgers who you can pay top dollar and take the hit of surrounding talent cause he's that good. But those guys aren't growing on trees (I know I know gotta try etc) and I don't know if you read the articles that the nflphilosophy guy wrote, but unless you have a guy who's gonna carry you're team, I dunno that I'd invest heavily in said qb. Alex smith included for that matter. |

Only on CP does Alex Smith get a pass because his receivers drop them.

They did? Did smith go into a shell when our guys dropped balls? No, he kept throwing it. It was encouraging
