Chiefs Rap Sheet: Talks With Alex Smith Not Progressing Well - Page 124

Team that will consider a 1st-round QB: The #Chiefs. Negotiations with Alex Smith aren’t progressing well. Must keep long-term options open

Just saying maybe Smith was not the catalyst for their success
Whereas without Romo the Cowboys are probably a 5 win team

Clearly Kap doesn't suck. It's a flawed argument. Kap is going to be a big time QB for many years to come - assuming he doesn't take off on a run and get absolutely skull-crushed.

I like DQ, but no way would I have given him that much...I'd have drafted his replacement.

Silly that they are drafting expensive players replacements (Albert replaced by Fisher, Flowers replaced by Gaines, Hali replaced by Ford) but at the same time are squandering the savings on guys like Fasano, Daniel and kickers and punters.

Fasano, Colquitt, Succop and Daniel have a combined cap number of 20 million in 2015.

That's 5 steps past stupid.

I would say Alex had little to no influence on their SB run

Alex led niners won 6 out of the 11 regular season wins. No influence on the SB run?

The Dee Ford Clause. Draft and replace. Mmm, I thought it would be Hali exiting stage left, but it looks like it'll be the other guy. More market value I suppose.

If they plan on letting Houston walk and replacing him with Dee Ford, they deserve to get raped by a cactus.

Not saying it's right, but...."contract, please"(grabby hands).

"I don't think I would be at this point so quickly if (Alex Smith) hadn't been such a great mentor to me and helped me along." Colin Kaepernick post mega-contract

For all of you out there hopeful that Murray is the QOTF, I really think the Smith/Murray transition makes a whole hell of a lot more sense than did Smith/Manziel.

Has everyone seen this poll over at Arrowhead pride?

Good lawd, please don't let Houston go... God bless Tamba Hali but he's never been the athlete Houston is and is just plain getting old, the hard working diesel engine that used to make up for his lack of athleticism and speed is getting too many miles on it.

I mean, I don't wanna have to choose, Hali is a guy who DESERVES to retire a Chief... but in a recurring theme for me tonight, its a hardball world... and I want to see a championship.

Sanity leads, but too close for comfort.

Alex Smith is not a HOF-level QB. We can all agree on that. How does he compare with against other guys who have recently signed big deals or will be soon...such as Cutler, Flacco, Romo, and Dalton? In my view, Romo is the only guy that really jumps out as being obviously better than Alex Smith. Who would I prefer out of the remaining guys over Alex Smith? I dunno. Tough call.

I don't know how much Smith is worth, but assuming he gets extended, what's far more important than how much we pay him is how well he plays. For example, Baltimore's problem last year was not how much they paid Joe Flacco, but how poorly he played.

It's hard to know what to do with slightly above average QBs.

Aaron Murray will replace Chase Daniel.

And Succop's replacement is likely to be Cairo Santos. If Kelce stays healthy and plays like expected, then Fasano might be on the chopping block.
