And I've already said a million times, anybody who says he is a middle of the road QB because that's what he's always been for a long time has by far the stronger argument right now. I only said that because his last 7 games were mostly strong, that's reason to at least wonder if he's turned a corner. If he was great the first 7, then fizzled the last 9 that would be a different story.

They where not mostly strong. over the last 8 games including the play off game he was an average/decent QB 4 times, a pretty good one once, and 3 games he threw less than 155 yards. DUring that time we went 3-5 as well.

Hell, take out JCs legendary YAC performance in the raiders game, and the guy only throws 1 TD per game, and ya'll want to give the man Tom Brady money.

Crazy.

Im still firmly on the "Alex Smith is JAG" fence post. Hes not utter dogshit like Cassel, but he isn't someone I want to see the Chiefs latch onto for long term. Period. Settling for mediocrity at the QB position has been KC'S MO since Green left. Im tired of the shit, but if the fanbase gobbles it up, why would they do anything more?

Smith will NEVER be a guy who can elevate the talent around him. He will NEVER be a guy that you can put the game on his back and tell him to go win it. Best you get with him is "Meh, dont screw it up"
