That same all-world defense got lit up by the Saints. It was Alex Smith passing the ball down the field, making clutch play after clutch play to win that game late for them, not the defense which gave up 500+ yards passing to Drew Brees.

And yet, taking your team all the way down the field, not once but twice, late in the game, making the plays to win the game, is a tremendous accomplishment in the NFL. The Saints defense didn't get this "horrible" reputation until they got torched by Alex Smith. Before then they were considered to be a decent, middle of the road defense.

That wasn't the argument slappy.

I wanted us to draft Geno too but the over the top comparisons of Smith and Cassel are ****ing ridiculous.


One minute CP is all about stats, look at the stats, the next its all about playoff victories.

Now we use stats to discredit playoff wins.


We didn't get what we want, and no we didn't, so now its time to punch holes in the walls and piss on the carpet.

Awesome we got ourselves a Super Bowl winning QB based on a one game performance.


Go **** yourself dumbass

The only hope that you can have when referring to that stat is that Gannon had four 300 yard games pre-Gruden career, and nineteen 300 yard games after he got into the Gruden offense.

Like I said, Alex Smith better be the next Gannon and Reid better be his Gruden for this trade to be anything other than a fail...

[Deberg_1990]

I think their main difference is:

Alex is ascending
Matt is descending

Matt was ascending when we got him.

LOLOL at the irony of Gannon being the measure of success for a KC Chiefs QB.

But you claim that those were garbage stats...so, which is it?

[Mr. Kotter]

In fairness, we should only compare the last 3 years or so--in the NFL, that's certainly most relevant..

From that perspective, Smith looks like an improvement. However, I really do hope they have some competition in mind for him. If not Geno, then someone else legit to push Alex and keep him honest and hard-working. I want to trust Reid and Dorsey on this, but it's really hard. They must not think much of Geno.

Well, it sure would be nice to have the 34th pick to snag Barkley, Wilson, or Manuel.

Now we're stuck in all likelihood with Landry Jones as competition. Hooray.
