The Chiefs Defense is playing good enough right now where almost any QB in this league would be put in a good enough situation to take advantage for a win. Alex Smith has come through when it really matters (4th quarter drives), but the rest of the time him and the entire offense has been garbage. Alex Smith is the leader of this offense, therefor he gets the blame. When someone states that Eric Fisher sucks, I don't see everyone coming to his defense claiming "3-0!!!!". Shouldn't be the same for Alex Smith either. Winning is a TEAM goal, and the Defense is pulling most of the weight. Alex Smith can Surely play much better and I hope he does, but just because this team is 3-0 doesn't relieve ANYONE on this team of criticism if they deserve it. Does anyone think Andy Reid is at the facilities right now saying to his offense, "it's okay guys, we are 3-0... no need to stop sucking ass." |

I need to see more moments like the pivotal 3rd down throw from the shadow of his end zone on Thursday night to believe getting to the playoffs with Alex Smith at the helm means KC has a realistic chance to make some noise.

Did you see what the Cowboys did to the Rams today? The Chiefs defense is really good, and defense travels well. The run game will eventually will come around, and the passing game will improve. Its silly to predict after 3 weeks that the Chiefs would roll over dead. It wont happen. Defenses usually don't slump.

Compare that with (who else?) Kaepernick: At best, 400+ yards passing 3 TDs (week 1 win). At worst, 6 turnovers, 0 TDs 139 YPG passing average (week 2+3 losses) Alex may not ever have that high of a game but he won't have that low of a low. |

Today yes. But that's assuming that the offense doesn't get better. I don't think that is possible.

How much is Alex Smith going to improve from this year to next year? Is he going to take the step - at age 30 - that makes him a QB who can CARRY an offense against elite teams? Or is he going to continue being an efficient guy who doesn't make mistakes but has to rely on his defense and run game to be successful? As long as he's not the lock-stock-and-two-smoking-barrels "answer," and is replaced by the 2015 season, that isn't an issue (other than overpayment for him in the first place). As long as a 2013 QB class guy isn't a "Star" type QB by the end of the 2014 season, I wouldn't even say it was an issue. But if Geno Smith or Manuel or Matt Barkley, etc., is a star by that time? Yikes.

This offense produces an effect I can best describe as "nail-biting constipation", but Special Teams and Defense are ****ing spectacular this year. A deep threat QB and another high-talent receiver put the Chiefs in contention for a Championship every year. Ny is freaking me out though. They're due, and we've got extra time off. Not a good combination IMO.
