This thread is a great example. As is the Geno Smith vs Alex Smith thread. As are the claims that a team victory is suspect because we didn't throw the ball downfield enough. Anyways, I think the problem with both sides is they overvalue the QB. |

I don't buy the thought that seems to be floated around right now that this little stretch by Alex is a fluke. The guy is clearly ascending and with a coach like Andy Reid, I EXPECT that trend to continue.
Especially if we can bring in some receivers that can get open and catch the ball and the rest of the team grows together and continues to play as one unit, the future is bright. All I care about is what Alex has done the last 3 years, not what happened 4+ years ago. What matters is how well he is playing under a coach that wanted him bad enough to be bent over a barrel to get him. |

I don't think he's Trent Green/Rich Gannon 30+ years old lightning in the bottle high level of play yet, might take another good season, but he's really close now.

CC and I are taking jabs at those folks who want it both ways. Example from earlier: Quote:
QB's all over the league put up numbers. Foles and McCown have been ridiculous lately, but if I tried to use, "Foles threw for 7 TD's in a game!" to "prove" he's a good QB, I'd get ****ing abused. These ****wits are too dumb to realize how ridiculous they look. |

So lets get back to that discussion about arguing posters instead of the content they post...

Right now, Alex has career highs in attempts, completions, passing yards, rushing yards and touchdowns.
Andy saw something in Alex that is in the process of coming to fruition. |

That's exactly who I'm/we're referring to, Zilla - though there are a handful of regulars it applies to as well.

As a smart man once said, "better than bad does not equal good". His previous "career highs" in some areas weren't exactly setting the bar real high. You know where I stand on him anyway, I'm not sure why you're trying to "sell me". |
