8 wins in 3 years vs 3 wins for Alex's entire career.

Alex Smith just got PAID... and is the Chiefs' QB.

I win... you lose.

Pretty meaningless stat I guess since guys who subjectively are better than Smith suck at it too

Just means that guys who are "subjectively better than Smith" are actually better than Smith.

But lets not get technical about it.

To use an old phrase "better than bad does not equal good"

This applies here just as much here as on the other thread I posted it to.

The 24 point barrier is not a meaningless number picked at random.

The 2013 season was the highest scoring season in NFL history. Take a look at the average points per game for professional teams (including the AAFC and AFL) since 1940:

Champions have to be able to score more than 25 points by and large, to navigate the playoffs and win it all. There are exceptions to the rule, but by and large, if you are 1 for 35 when opponents score at least 24 points, your playoff run will be brief. By and large. Don't go all 2000 Ravens on me.

The Chiefs as a team scored more than 25 per game last year. I also showed in another thread where we gave up 34 points per game in our losses last year. Go away with your stupid shit.

It is OK that you don't get it and you never will. The stat will continue to be a telling indicator with or without you.

Giving up more than 24 points to an opponent is a real indicator and it neither meaningless or arbitrary. You are just being hard-headed and refusing to see it because you have already made your call and now you can't back down.

The laughable thing is that you even admit the Chiefs scored more than 25 points per game in an 11-5 year. Which is what you would expect -- something north of 8-8 if you are scoring more than 25 points a game and/or holding opponents to under 24 points. You are making my case.

What part of we gave up 34 points per game avg in the losses do you not understand?

Alex Smith would take that Lions team to the playoffs. Stafford would be a 3-13 qb in KC

Cant wait for Geno to get his ACL torn by Dontari Poe. Then Clay will bitch about how we need to take Marcus Mariota

Also Here is how Alex Smith Contract Breaks down

Signing bonus: $18 million

2014: $1 million
2015: $11.9 million
2016: $14.1 million
2017: $10.2 million (+ $2 million roster bonus)
2018: $14.5 million (+ $2 million roster bonus)

The $18 million signing bonus and $1 million 2014 salary is fully guaranteed.

If he is on the roster on the third day of the 2015 league year (next March - very likely), his 2015 and 2016 salaries totaling $26 million become fully guaranteed, according to La Canfora's report.

Those figures total the reported $45 million guaranteed and his three-year pay-out. You hear people talk about the three year pay-out because NFL contracts aren't real contracts and teams will just cut players with few penalties in the back end of contracts.

Smith's previous cap number was $8 million. If the signing bonus pro-rates over the life of the deal ($3.6 million per year) and you add in his 2014 salary ($1 million) that comes out to a $4.6 million cap hit this year, which actually saves the Chiefs money against the cap. Funny how contracts work, huh?
