Chiefs Harrison of NFL.com ranks his top 10 QB's of '15 and Alex.... - Page 10

You can read the full list and see video here

Here's a small excerpt

Competition was fierce at the 10-spot, coming down to Cam Newton, Matt Ryan, Eli Manning, Joe Flacco and Matthew Stafford. If we were talking overall careers, Manning would be the choice. Flacco presents an interesting argument, because he tends to light it up in nationally televised games. At the same time, there's no question he's been inconsistent since winning Super Bowl XLVII. Stafford's inaccuracy in key spots has driven Lions fans crazy. Newton's calling card has never included on-the-mark throws, but his overall game can be a nightmare for defenses. Ryan, meanwhile, has been the most consistent, and was ultimately the toughest to leave off.

So why Smith?

How much of their low rankings is on Alex's shoulders?

When coming to KC, who would have said that Dwayne Bowe was the best receiver Alex had ever played with?

If the OL is decent to good, and somehow he underperforms week to week? Not even I will give him support.

So as long as the offensive line is in the top 23....you're good?

You're right. Mike McGlynn, Eric Fisher (who you say sucks all the time), a 6th Rd pick G, AJ Jenkins and an off the street RT are stars!

What a great supporting cast!

Eric Fisher does suck. Mike McGlynn does sucks. AJ Jenkins does suck. A 6th Rd pick G does suck. A RT off the street does suck. And so does Alex Smith.

49ers were favorite odds to win the super bowl when Smith last played.

And Smith was the QB week 1 when the 49ers beat the Packers on the road.

It's impossible to say what would of happened.

So what you're saying is that Alex Smith has to be surrounded by Pro Bowlers.

Alex Smith is a "Pro Bowler." He needs people that are better than him. He needs HOFers and All-Pros.

That would be nice but honestly I would settle for solid reliable players.

You have to have an elite QB or an elite caliber team to get to a SB.

There really are no excuses for AS anymore.

He needs to lead us to the playoffs and win a game once we get in.

Last year his line and receivers were really bad.

That's not the case anymore.

Or how long before the nearly entire rookie WR corp besides Maclin and a garbage Avant doesn't play up to expectations are you back making the excuse that he doesn't have WRs?

Jesus, you're just trying to create arguments out of nothing. Kindly go **** yourself, dipshit reerun.

The line will get better and better as the year goes on. I don't expect them to be really good right away, but by years end they will be very solid. More realistic fans should expect some early struggles and for Alex (and the gameplan) to adjust accordingly.

Guys WILL be open and Alex will need to find them and get the ball out quickly because we can't afford to go into a big hole again.

Shall I take that as your concession that you'll be back here making excuses?
