Figured this would be a good place for this.
Remember Avery's catch where he kinda stumbled and went down? Look at this picture: Avery's hands have betrayed him so many times that he refused to reach for the ball there. He's no longer willing to hand-catch a pass because he doesn't trust himself to actually secure it. Instead he turned, took a bad step and cradled it into his mid-section. In so doing, he just fell the hell down and cost us a HUGE YAC play. This is a display in how a QB can set up a WR extremely well for YAC yards and how a WR can give/take those yards. Smith put that ball in a perfect spot for Avery to reach out and grab it in stride, make a cut upfield (which was clearly the design given the downfield blocker) and perhaps take that thing all the way across the field for a score as Avery has outstanding jets. Sometimes blaming the WRs or the O-Line really is appropriate.

Think about it. Crucified in SF, and then resurrected in KC.

Throw out the stats for a moment, even his good ones... the quarterback gets most of the credit for losses and wins both in this game, so when a guy comes onto a historically bad 2-14 franchise and manages to turn them into a playoff team in just one season, that's worth a lot of credit to many of us. Did the defense carry the load early on, theres no question about it, but if Alex was out there slapdicking it up, even that defensive performance would have been for naught, you know as well as i that the QB makes or breaks modern teams, to be where we are he had to have been an excellent, steady decision maker and leader, someone the guys were confident in rallying around. Its just seems like enough credit isn't given to what he's done here, its all been mentioned a thousand times before, but in brief... seventh offensive system in eight years, brand new team and brand new coach to gel with... those are three major obstacles to any kind of efficiency at a position that requires extreme precision. Perosnally, i went into this year demanding playoffs, so i'm content there... but now that he's heating up, i'm starting to expect atleast one win like yourself... though i wont be irate if we don't because we've made such a huge leap in a short time. Lets just cross our fingers and hope for atleast one playoff win and then we'll all be satisfied with 2013. |

Asking Chiefsplanet if Alex Smith is a franchise QB is pointless for the very definition starts with the QB being a first round pick by the Chiefs and would be extremely iffy if not a top ten pick. Therefore by this definition alone, no, Alex is not a franchise QB. Just a journeyman scrub. A

Did you honestly think, at this point in the season, the Chiefs would be 11-3?
Honestly? I can honestly say that I was not expecting a 11-3 at this point.

This team isn't 11-3 with Matt Stafford at QB. He wouldn't have won us any of the games we lost and he'd have absolutely lost us the Buffalo and Dallas games at least. Flip the QBs in the Giants game and you flip the outcomes. In a league where half the QBs are going out there and appear to be actively sabotoging their teams chance to win, how can people not appreciate Smith's steady play?

I basically meant even if we win a playoff game there will still be plenty of wounded vaginas here when it comes to Smith. |

This team is good enough to beat anyone IMO.
I wont be satisfied with anything other than a championship but after 2-14, 1 PO win I and will feel like this has been a successful season. I do not believe that the Smith detractors will back off of Smith after only 1 PO win no matter how he plays they will say he is not good enough to win us a title. |
