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 |

Take away the QB's and the Chiefs are of equal or slightly better talent overall.
The difference is Manning.

So, last year it was Cassel's fault that kc sucked. The year before it was Haley's fault. The year before the blind squirrel found a nut. The year before it was another coaching staff problem. On and on...
But this year, with a whole new front office, coaching staff, new QB and many new players, this year it's all gonna gell and you are gonna reign supreme in the AFCW, right?

But this is a new offense with a new QB. You can't seriously look back 3 years ago draw any kind of conclusion from that kc team to this one.

With Kyle Orton as you QB. I think Orton knew the Broncos pretty well. Oh, btw, how'd Orton work out for you all?

I'm saying there's been a huge amount of change and it's hard to say anything conclusively about this new kc team. The Broncos have the same coaching staff, along with the same defensive coordinator (the Broncos have gone though 7 defensive coordinators is 7 years). That's pretty important stuff.

Why don't you read what I'm about to show you and understand it since you apparently know football... 8 TD's, 20 INT's and 10 fumbles Now try to use that smart football knowledge and tell me any team in the NFL that can win when their QB provides that kind of production. Heren't a hint:
Spoiler!
