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

Um, no.

Get ready for checkdowns. Lots of checkdowns.

I'm not a homer and you know it. I'm just arguing that poor decision making leads to more turnover than throwing down field a couple of more times a game. It's all about opportunity. How many picks have we seen thrown on short routes because EVERY reciever was within the same areas?

I'm ok with checkdowns if they work. Wasn't the biggest play of the Ravens regular season a checkdown? 4th and 29. Without that conversion wouldn't they have missed the playoffs? Could be wrong.

I said the Broncos are deeper at TE and then I proved this by pointing out an article from Williamson who has one of the Broncos TEs listed but not Maoeki. Your only defense is to claim Williamson sucks. Which is typical of a tard like yourself when you've just been handed your ass in an argument.

Keep ****ing that chicken, loser.

never said Moeaki was a great TE you stupid idiot. He's basically the same or better than the one you're pimping.

Broncos TE's are not better.

And no Dreessen does not have better hands than Moeaki. Moeaki's hands have always been good. He even made a one handed amazing catch.

Here's his original post on the subject:

Sorry, but the Broncos are better at the TE position with Tamme and Dreesen, and the young guys like Green and Thomas.

Here's what he said when I pointed out that Dreesen is nice depth:

So RunTard uses our second best TE to somehow prove how great TE Moeaki is? Who the **** cares if Moeaki is better than our second best TE?

Williamson's article does not point out Moeaki as being a anything special but it does say Tamme is one of the top 40 talents in the AFCW.

I don't see where I'm saying Moeaki is a great TE like you're saying. He's just as good as Dreessen.

His hands are good, but the rest of him needs augmentation and/or implants:

Most sensible post on this whole thread.

What ya talking about Willis?

There are only 4 elite quarterbacks in the league and Alex Smith ain't one of them.

It's Brady, Brees, Rodgers and P Manning.

Then everyone else.

Why don't you tell us what you expect out of Alex by using examples of a similar skill level? Examples could include Freeman, Palmer, Ponder, etc.

Smith is definitely in the group of Schaub, etc.

He's today's Trent Dilfer.

First sentence is accurate. Second sentence is headed back to stoopit.
