I laughed. And Sac, I get what you are saying. Yes, life is good because the team is 6-0. But, I have said this REPEATEDLY, you always have to keep improving, and right now, the offense is a work in progress, and just because you are 6-0, doesn't mean that Andy Reid and Alex Smith should be kicked up at Oklahoma Joe's Rib shack slurping down racks of ribs by the cow, sucking down milk shakes and thinking everything is hunky dory.
There is work to be done, and pointing that out, makes no one less of a fan, or unhappy with a teams success. If you aren't getting better, you are getting worse, you never stay the same. Its as true in live, as it is in sports.

I think we saw Alex Smith's ceiling against the Giants.

That ceiling, if done consistently is more than enough to win a super bowl with this chiefs team. That was a pretty high ceiling.

You don't have Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, or Peyton Manning. Most teams don't. There are very few of those to go around. That said, I think that you guys who want a franchise quarterback drafted are perfectly reasonable. You might win a superbowl with Alex, and I think he might be in the top 10, but he's never going to be that "elite" QB that all fans want. That doesn't mean that Alex won't do a good job for you in the mean time. |

The guy hasn't even come close to approaching his ceiling with this team. His ceiling is right around what he was doing in 2011 and 2012. And with this defense, that's gives you the capability of beating the shit out of just about anybody on a daily basis. However, this offensive line, wide receiver corps and tight end group need a rework or at least an epiphany before that happens. Alex Smith is not John Elway. He needs a little support, but if he gets it, he's more than capable of making sure an offense is humming right along. |

I don't need consoling. But I'll be kind to you when the Chiefs flame out in their first playoff game (while Alex Smith leads the offense to a terrible 3rd down percentage and generally plays like a pussy).

I say the Chiefs win their playoff game this year. You say they lose. Let's make this interesting, shall we? |

We have a qb that failed on several occasions to throw a catchable dumpoff pass. That's how capable he is right now.

His play in the Giants game obviously left a lot to be desired. On the other had, two ST screw ups were all that separated him from the Superbowl. Take either one away, and it's a completely different conversation. I see no reason to predict disaster in the playoffs. |

With our offense as it is now, I can't see us beating the Broncos or Patriots. |
