Yep, Alex Smith is here to stay.

Hard to swallow.


What a horrible draft. Glad I didn't stick around for the whole thing. I would have wasted valuable time. Reid is a complete moron. Never go all in on a guy like Alex Smith. Your offseason is a complete joke.

That's all

Uh-Oh.

According to PFF, in 2011, Alex Smith had a 114.4 passer rating on passes that traveled 20+ yards through the air. That was with Vernon and basically nothing else in terms of targets. Perspective:
- Tom Brady had a 87.7 passer rating. Even Brees and Eli had a lower passer rating, though they did throw more TDs (more INTs also)

The guy can hit his targets perfect, the only problem is he's never had someone to throw it deep other than Vernon Davis. Unless you can call Joshua Morgan, Arnaz Battle, Antonio Bryant, or Jason Hill "deep threats".

He's here to stay based on one draft? Are they cancelling the 2014 and 2015 drafts?

Cool analysis, bro.

I get kind of tired of hearing how all Alex Smith had to throw to was Vernon Davis.

I cant imagine he's going anywhere soon.

He's going to win enough games to plant us in the middle of draft rounds. And with Tyler Bray being the only legit thing behind him? Gonna be a bit.

We don't have a deep threat, either.

The tea leaves say that Reid will go more to a spread. Maybe that's the rationale behind Chase Daniel -- I'm not crazy about this move either, but to fork over that kind of contract, there's something they're seeing that maybe we're missing.

Reid has a losing record with every QB not named Donovan McNabb, dipshit.

They gave Daniel 3 years 10m tell me again why they would draft a QB?

Ya didn't need to when they can sign Tyler Bray, who has the ability of any QB in this draft.

Donnie Avery can stretch a defense.

He's basically under a 2 year contract. Chiefs have shown zero desire to extend that so far.

Hopefully he's fully over his knee injury. Because he can be good deep down the field.

Have you heard anything about Bray. How much they like him? Hopefully you hear something about that in the coming days. Let me know. I'd appreciate it.

Am still perplexed how Andy Reid can sit there and tell us we are going to pass attack with this football team and then turn around and have Alex Smith as starting quaterback. This is what we get true fans can rejoyce. Alex Smith best attribute is much like Matt Cassel in that they both could hand the ball off to running backs to find success.
