Good article Breakdown of Chiefs Offense Problems
Sorry if repost. This article may already be located deep in some other thread.
I think it deserves it's own thread though. And since I am awesome, you are going to let it slide. Discuss more Alex Smith/ Andy Reid/ and OL hate here. http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2014/1...ense-right-now |

When it comes to Alex being too timid to throw beyond 10 yards... that's not Reid nor is it design as much as some want to pretend. Alex has taken his timid QB play to the next level of timidity. No other QB under Reid has been so timid throwing the ball. I'm not sure I've seen many QB's who seem scared to throw over 15 yards even when the guy is wide open. KC brought in bizarro Marty, and we're going to reap marty like results. |

Reid's playcalling has been suspect in some games (Titans and 49ers) but I think it's looking even worse right now because of the QB's inability to throw the ball and make the correct reads....and then Reid's inability or unwillingness to pull players like McGlynn from the starting lineup. |

What I find strange is with how much teams key on Charles throughout a game, he's still wide open on several plays per game.
That's not even Smith's fault as we know Jamaal is always his first read The line needs to do a better job of keeping Smith in the pocket for that extra second so he can check it down. |

You cant ask for someone to change when you keep giving them the option to take the easy way out. Its not rocket science. IF Reid wants Alex to throw to open receivers then Reid needs to take away his safe outlets. |

The receivers aren't going to be able to break free every single play. You don't just leave your QB hanging out to to dry no matter how badly you want to force him to throw downfield. THAT is a recipe for disaster.

Should have contracted Alex year by year performance. Would have kept a fire under his butt

I get why he would be gunshy in the pocket, but he's gonna have to get over it.
Improve the ol, get 1 wr and go. I actually like albert wilson as a wr. Might have something there |

So you want him to throw downfield continuously but don't want to force him to make that change..
Got it, makes sense. As long as there is a check down available, Smiths shitty ass will take it. Proof is in the pictures and breakdowns. Smith sucks ass and is always gonna take the easy way out. |

With Reid we KNOW he can build and coach a high-octane offense. He's proven it. Smith has proven dick aside from being a scared check down captain. Receivers are breaking wide the **** open down field and the throws aren't being made. Now, judging by their history, it's pretty damn obvious it's a Smith problem.

Yeah....Smith has to make those throws and I ****ing despise him for it, but Reid also has to know what's working and stick with it. |

Exactly, so take away his pacifier and force him to throw down the field. That's all I am saying. don't give him the option to bail out and take the safe easy route. |
