Reid being Quizzed about Alex

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Q: Is he not seeing open receivers as much as in the past and is that because he’s hurried?

REID: “Like I said, I’m not going to tell you it’s one thing – it’s not one thing. Sometimes people see something and that might not be the primary receiver and so it might not even be in that part of the progression and read. There’s a lot of things that go into it. The thing I can do is stand before you and tell you that this isn’t an Alex Smith thing, it’s all of us. I know our players understand that and coaches. So we’re all going to do better and raise our game up.”

Q: How do they know this is not an Alex (Smith) thing – have you gone over that?

REID: “We all watch tape. Coaches coach, that’s what we do. And we’re around each other a lot so we all know all of our strengths, coaches and players, we all have strengths as human beings. We all know our strengths and our weaknesses. So I think we all understand that we can all do better. So that’s what we’re working on.”

Q: Do you think some of Alex (Smith’s) recent struggles are mental or how the team has played on the field?

REID: “I think it’s not just Alex. I think people do that, and I told you that I’ve got to get better at doing my part. Each position has got to do better. This is a team game and so everybody has a piece of the pie. You’re bringing it to Alex (Smith). I’m bringing it to all of us doing a better job. Alex is part of the team so he’s included in that. But it’s surely not just one person.”

If Smith shits the bed against the Jets it's over for him

[Dayze]

bunch of words.
it's pointless to interview Andy, or any coach for that matter, on any football related topic.

[ChiTown]

Yeah, I don't believe that for a minute. I think Man-Boob Andy doubles down on his Alex Stupid.

[Dave Lane]

If Smith shits the bed against the Jets it's over for him

If we lose to the Jets we need to just close up the franchise and call it a day.

[Sandy Vagina]

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said the offense's struggles are not "an Alex Smith thing."

"It’s all of us," Reid said. "I know our players understand that and coaches. So we’re all going to do better and raise our game up." The recent downturn has amplified calls for Smith to be benched in favor of first-round rookie Patrick Mahomes. Reid has consistently shot those down, however, and this comment is yet another vote of confidence for Smith. Still, if the offense continues to struggle, the coach may be forced to make a change.

[Hammock Parties]

It's not Alex.

That's why we gave up a shitload of draft capital to draft Patrick Mahomes, fellas.

Because it's not Alex.

Reid can deflect all day. All I ask of our media is that they force him to do it. I want one question after another trying to get down to why Alex sucks.

“Is his throwing arm injured?”
“Have you had his eyes examined recently?”
“Any thoughts on why Alex is playing worse with each passing week?”
“Would it even be possible for Mahomes to do worse than this?”

[Dayze]

basically its
"It's on all of us, coaches and players, to do everything we can with the hope that Alex elevates his play to an average level"

LMAO

I would love to hear that question at a PC.

[Sandy Vagina]

^ always been a lame excuse, Hammocks.

Draft picks are more for the future. Smith will be 34, far more expensive, and he's had multiple shoulder and concussion issues over a looooooong career.

Mahomes will have his time.. and soon. A little more pounding from Alex's peni to yo ass first though. :p

Forced by whom? Clark Hunt?

LMAO

No one in the organization has the power to make Reid do anything.

He's autonomous when it comes to the coaching staff and decisions.

I guess Veach could pull a Power Play and cut Alex Smith but that kind of a move wouldn't turn out well for anyone.

The players and fans are stuck with Smith until Andy decides he's seen enough, which will likely be after it's too late.

[Stryker]

Ok, so NOW that we've lost 5 of our last 6 games, with a 6th loss in our sights, "We’re all going to do better and raise our game up." Wow, good luck with that! :clap:

[Dayze]

our Media is horrible. asking dumb stuff like
"Coach, this week you guys go up against a team that has allowed only 13 yds rushing all season; is trying to figure out how to run the ball something you guys have been working on in practice"?

or
"Coach, you guys have only been fielding 4 guys on the field on Defense these past few weeks due to everyone having sprained labia and missing time. Now that they're healed up and will be returning......how important / how big is it to get those guys back and be able to field 11 guys on defense"?

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

I just think it's good the reporters are asking those questions.

[Sandy Vagina]

I just think it's good the reporters are asking those questions.

Definitely. Something's got to spark the offense. All of them.

[Hammock Parties]

A little more pounding from Alex's peni to yo ass first though. :p

Are you for real right now?

I've had my way with Alex for over a month now. His ass is NEVER going to recover.

Actions speak louder than words...Reid's words mean next to nothing, and Philly fans said as much when he was hired.

[Eleazar]

Chunt isn't going to make Reid do anything. He handed Reid the keys to the franchise by choosing him as the winner in his little power struggle with Dorsey this past offseason. Andy is King. If Veach ever dared cross him, who's going to win in that circumstance?

Reid is not accountable to anyone but Chunt, who seems to be deeply in love with him.

Not the fans, not the players, not the general manager. Only to the president of his fan club.

Reid won't make a QB change unless he decides to try to save a playoff appearance this year, or after we are mathematically eliminated.

[carcosa]

Man, I sure hate the "It's not one person" argument. It's such a strawman. No sane person would think that success in a team sport is entirely dependent on one player. Nobody ever actually argues that. What they do argue is that the QB is the most important position in the sport, and so if the QB is failing, it has a much bigger effect on the team than failure at other positions.

FUCK you , ANDY!!!!!! ADDRESS THE FACT THAT ALEX SMITH IS FUCKING FAILING AND THAT HIS FAILURE IS A MAJOR FACTOR IN THE TEAM LOSING1!!!!!!

[HemiEd]

How did Romeo Crennel say it? "We just gotta play good football!"

[Reerun_KC]

This....

[siberian khatru]

Reid trying to spread the blame, which is understandable. And there is some truth to that -- Smith isn't the only one struggling.

But the follow-up question should be something like: OK, it's not just an Alex problem. But how much of the problem is Alex? Or are you saying that all blame is shared equally?

As Mellinger wrote the other day, all players are a piece, but not all pieces are equal in size and importance.

Not that Reid would suddenly break and say, "Ah, ya got me. Alright, it's mostly on Alex, and everyone knows it, he's really stunk it up lately and he's on thin ice." But I would want to keep Reid squirming and have to come up with different answers.

[The Franchise]

And I'll say it again.

Refuse to bench Smith and you deserve to lose every game from here on out.

Did anyone really think Andy was going to say anything specific at this point?

I don't even have to visit this forum anymore:

Alex Sucks!
Start Pat!

Well get to it!

[TLO]

And I'll say it again.

I hope the refusal to bench Smith is Andy's misguided loyalty to Alex rather than they don't think they'd do any better with Mahomes.

Imagine how awful it's going to if they start Mahomes and he looks like shit.. :shake:

Maybe Andy doesn't feel like Mahomes is ready yet.

Idk, frankly. It's all speculation anyway since Andy won't tell us anything of any meaning.

[BlackHelicopters]

Will someone please PM me when Smiff is no longer the QB so I can tune in. My boycott is real.

I'm on the other end of things. Imagine how much of a fool he's going to look like if Pat comes in and we're able to run a real offence and put up points. Then people will be wondering "WTF did Andy stick with Alex so long"

if Andy keeps Alex in and he still stinks up the joint for the rest of the season and they move on to Pat this offseason, any success Pat has will be attributed to 'another offseason' to prepare him. So Andy won't have to face questions about why he didn't move on to Pat when Alex was sucking so bad.

[lcarus]

The only way we're winning ANY of the games left on our schedule is if the defense and special teams can figure out how to put points on the board every game. Otherwise we're gonna keep losing like 13-10 and 27-17 type of games.

And that's assuming our defense doesn't gas out, allowing teams to put up 30+ on us.

[ThaVirus]

Sounds like Reid's feeling the pressure about a QB change

No no... this one's on him. He's gotta do a better job getting the players in a position to make plays.

That's another angle that needs to be explored.

With responsibility comes accountability. You can't keep accepting responsibility for failure without paying a price. Just saying "it's on me" over and over is meaningless if you aren't held accountable for that.

Andy is full of shit like all coaches in press conferences. He will not say the truth. There is no chance when they look at film Smith is not standing out as the major problem.

Andy sounds like an abused wife who keeps protecting the husband that is beating her.

Not sure about the Jets. We've beaten the Jets in NY, not sure if we ever beat the Jets in East Rutherford.

[tooge]

It's funny that the fans and press give the NFL coaches so much power. They are treated like genius men that must know more than everyone else. Fact is, these guys, most of them, are former players, at least at the college level, that got some lame degree while playing football. They aren't any smarter than anyone else. They just have 20 hours a day to watch football tape and make game plans and design plays off of what they see.

Point is, when trouble arises, we all expect them to have some magic answer. They don't. They aren't that smart. What is he gonna say? "Alex sucks. We gave up two very high draft picks to get him, but in the end, he's the same POS he's always been. I thought I was smarter than the last coach, but it turns out I'm not." No, he's not going to say that. He's going to speak coach speak and tell you nothing until they make a decision. THen he's going to say something like "we just felt the team needed a spark" or some BS.

Let see, which group do I give more credence too? tough choice really after reading all the in depth analysis going on in here. Wr's are open everywhere, yeah after the pocket has collapsed or is collapsing or like Andy said maybe that wr is the 2nd or 3rd in the progression and Alex didn't have the time to look his way. Its soo freaking stupid to really think Alex wont throw to a wide open wr. Every dam qb misses open wr's due to a ton a factors every dam game people. They are not looking down from a sky cam viewing the entire field you idiots.

Oh wait, forget all that, Alex sucks, everything will be a okay of Pat takes over.

What the hell are all you cry babies gonna do when we (no Alex) we make the playoffs? Which sorry ass bitch in here is gonna be rooting against Alex (and thus or team) to make themselves feel better/vindicated? Freaking sad.

[11Chiefs]

The only follow up question that seems relevant... "These past few week and multiple times in the past following a lose your go to statement is it all comes back to you, the head coach. How long should a GM or in our case the owner take that as an acceptable answer? After starting 5-0 is it 6 out of the following 7 games?"

Clark Hunt loves you, and that's exactly the attitude that's made the Chiefs a loser franchise - no accountability, no demand for excellence, no premium placed on winning in the postseason.

IF KC makes the playoffs, and that's a huge if at this point, we aren't going to draw Brian fucking Hoyer again. KC will get curb stomped by whoever they play. Then the Mahomes era can finally begin, and maybe decades of failure and retreads can be put behind us.

Shut up

[ForeverChiefs58]

If Andy and coaches watch tape and sees the struggles are someone else’s fault (like O-line), why not just call them out to the fans?

It would be much easier to find a new lineman and would get fans off his beloved QB

If not, then he should understand fans blame QB’s, and if it’s someone else’s fault, then a new QB would struggle as well.

And that his new QB’s start could get off on the wrong foot and lose fans early.


Of course no one believes this shit. Smith has the same struggles with a different team, different coaches, and different players all with the same result...he needed to be replaced before fans revolted. Much the way it ended with Cassel

Alex Smith is Matt Cassel part duex

I disagree. There are games that we lost over the last 6 weeks that arguably we would have won with Patrick as our QB. Not saying we don't have other issues. However, I think a change at QB would wake up the offense.

Few are guaranteeing Mahomes will save the day. The whole point is that Smith is who he is, he's not going to lead this team anywhere, and Mahomes was brought in to take over the team. The team is in a tailspin, with no signs of being able to escape. It's time to see the kid, get him some game experience, and start the process of figuring out what exactly we have in Mahomes. If you wait until he has the perfect situation to step into, he'll never play in KC.

Chickenshit fans like you are trying to turn this into something it's not.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

The point of this thread isn't about what Andy says because he says what he's supposed to say and no coach is going to dump on one player.

The point is that people are making sure Andy knows we ALL see that Smith is the problem

[Easy 6]

He is absolutely on the defensive, but what can Andy really say here?

Letting the mob demand that he throw his handpicked starter under the bus for everyones amusement, isnt something any good leader would do... he is only trying to maintain team dignity with all of the terse coachspeak

The team is in a tailspin, with no signs of being able to escape. It's time to see the kid, get him some game experience, and start the process of figuring out what exactly we have in Mahomes. If you wait until he has the perfect situation to step into, he'll never play in KC.

Chickenshit fans like you are trying to turn this into something it's not.

:clap:

You win, he loses.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

LOL did you just compare a rookie who hasn't played a snap to AR? ROFL

Yep, as well as Peyton Manning!

John Gruden has compared PM2 to Favre .

[Marcellus]

Owners have benched and played players.

RGIII, Eli, Manziel (owner’s choice), etc.

This is nothing new.

RGIII was forced on the coaches I agree.

I heard an interview with Mara, he had no idea they were benching Eli before hand, it was not his call, that was Reese and Macadoo.

I have never heard anywhere where Manziel was forced on the field by ownership of the Browns.

Ill give you RGIII but thats not even remotely close to this situation.

[Marcellus]

Al Davis setting Marcus Allen which worked out great for us.:D

True but I believe Al Davis was also the GM of the Raiders. Also a perfect example of why owners shouldn't be involved in game day personnel decisions.

[Marcellus]

Per some local sources at the time, it really wasn't Marty who benched Peterson's adopted son after the "Monday Night Meltdown". (Despite what the Chiefs may have said at the time.)

Disciplinary benching, not on field performance based. Not the same. See Larry Johnson for further example.

Guys, a friend of mine said if the Chiefs had this record with Mahomes starting no one would want him benched. So I said there's a difference in a 21 year old rookie and a dude that's 34 and is what he is. The exact quote I got back was.. "No there isn't" Then I tried to explain upside and trajectory vs no upside and only decline and all I got back was "there's no difference it's the same record"

To which I said you are fucking obtuse and hung up my phone.

If Mahomes was starting all year and we were 6-5 I'd be thrilled.

If Mahomes started 5-0 in God mode and then looked like Alex Smith over the last 6 games I'd be worried. And he's only 21. When you're 34 and look like that you're fucking done.

The uphill battle Mahomes will have with this fanbase will be staggering. Winning or not. He isn’t proven and we didn’t trade for him.

I wouldn't be too worried. Wentz started off hot last year and came back to Earth. This year he is a top 3 NFL QB.

If Mahomes started the year we'd be 10-1 just like the Eagles and Carson Wentz

[Dayze]

maybe this isn't the year where everything starts to Click for Alex - as I've actually read on this site.

maybe it Clicks NEXT year. fingers crossed.

If Smith shits the bed against the Jets it's over for him

Unfortunately I doubt it will be. :(

I guess you missed the preseason.

If we could go back through each of the 5 games we lost and change 2 or 3 plays where Smith shit the bed we'd be 10-1 right now.AND:

Mahomes >Smith

So tell me what Mahomes numbers would be right now? Obviously if he is better and we'd be 10-1 he'd have better numbers. Alex 'All I Do Is Win' Smith has 19 TDs 4 INTs, 68 compl%, 2,873 yds, 250 rush yds...

I'll be interested to see what numbers you think Mahomes would be putting up as a rookie.

He'd be at 27 TDs 6 Int's 68% 3500 yards

and we'd be 10-1

I'd personally compare Mahomes to Smith as a rookie. Tell me how you think that comparison would look? I'll put it this way. Mahomes could have 10 touchdowns and 13 interceptions and he'd look like a pro bowler compared to Alex Smith as a rookie.

All he does is win.

Except for the 5 times in the last 6 games when he didn't.

But sure, let's ignore that and just focus on the few good games he had 2 months ago that are inflating his statistics.

Fuck off, troll.

[OKchiefs]

I'm still waiting for PAchiefs to look at Smith's rookie numbers.

[RippedmyFlesh]

The real problem.

He is not a gunslinger, not a charismatic spokesperson and not a social guy who takes his linemen out for beers.

and have no clue, i was arguign with some turd on the chiefs reddit, he said that Tom Brady would be Alex Smith without Bill Bellichick as his coach! lol Dudes 40 years old still putting on fucking QB clinics.

Also this entire fan base thinks that it has nothing to do with the QB, they always blame everything else especially the line.

In Kansas City the offensive line is more important than the QB to a shit ton of fans.

Look at our old gal Liz Merrill go, talk about a lengthy expose... very well done, but wow it should've been a 3 part story

Had no idea she was at ESPN, mostly because I never go to ESPN... but I like her style

[chiefzilla1501]

Andy Reid will not say things to the media to rock the boat with his players.

I think Andy Reid knows mahomes has a much higher ceiling. I don't think Andy Reid makes a qb change this year and it has more to do with waiting on mahomes than it is a vote of confidence with Alex Smith. And I'm perfectly OK with that painful as it may be. After so many years of shitty qb play I've never been more content and satisfied with it because for the first time, we are very very close to doing the right thing. Patience, folks.

She wasn't the right person to cover one team. But I respect her work. Better niche for her to have a wider range of stories to tell. She does a ton of homework on her stories and she's a good storyteller.

Also... Interesting tidbit about Mccarthy. I never put two and two together that Alex Smith had a strong green Bay connection. Wonder how much that played into Reid and Dorsey going after him.

I don' know why you would be 'content and satisfied' with sh** QB play. If you think we can't win the SB with him, that's fine. However you should at the very least want Smith to play well so we can get maximum trade value for him in the upcoming offseason.

[chiefzilla1501]

I don' know why you would be 'content and satisfied' with sh** QB play. At the very least you should want Smith to play well so we can get maximum trade value for him.

My main concern is that we don't make the qb switch in 2018 and a smooth transition out. A draft pick is just icing on the cake. Maybe we lost a round in value if Alex continues to play like shit but it's going to be a third rounder or lower anyway... In the grand scheme of things, how much is that really. But it makes it that much easier for Reid and veach to make the decision and for Alex lovers to recognize that the move had to be made.

I like Alex, am appreciative that he brought us stability, and actually feel bad that he's going out like this. But his time is up and I care a lot more about that than I care about a draft pick.
