Alex Smith appreciation thread (end of an era edition)

[DaFace]

Yes, I know many around here couldn't stand his conservative style of play, but he dragged the team out of the basement and gave us something to hope for. He even gave us some exciting games here and there.

He's a great all-around guy, and I wish him the best.

(But let the Mahomes era begin!)

[Red Dawg]

Alex is all class. I have never called for his death but I am stoked about Mahomes.

[Randallflagg]

Yeah, I have nothing against the guy....just glad he is moving on. Best of luck to him.

[Marcellus]

Alex is a good guy who did all he could. He did make it interesting for 5 years.
Thanks and bye.

[Ming the Merciless]

Well without seeing the actual deal, but assuming it is a second round pick at least, and something else....I will say this turned out better than I hoped for. I was wrong. I will admit. I thought getting alex was going to be a set back and we would be starting back at square one...but I do believe we used his 5 years wisely....and for that I salute you ...

Thanks Alex, you helped this team..

ALso, you did win a playoff game against HOU...which may have actually broken the curse on us.

[Rasputin]

I appreciate he got trade to the Washington Forskins Now lets partey

[duncan_idaho]

I thnk Alex Smith is a great dude, and I'm sure he and I would get along fine, since we're both touchy-feely pinko commie libs...

But I have no appreciation for his time in KC. Glad it's over and we can move on.

[TribalElder]

Good guy best of luck


Do you think he will be back and honored by the chiefs someday?

[KC_Lee]

Did all he could, won a playoff game, hope he has sucess in Washington.

[MMXcalibur]

Good luck in Washington, Alex Smith.

Frustrating to watch play sometimes, but an awesome person and enjoyed cheering for him over the past couple seasons.

[Kman34]

Thanks for the memories.......

Mahomes 20-forever

[Rasputin]

I wish him the best when he plays against the Raiders & Broncos. (If that ever happens)

[SAUTO]

Thanks. Good luck

[Bearcat]

Remember that time he was traded to the Redskins?

[Eleazar]

Now watch Smith be QBing the NFC in the Bowl next year after Foles did it this year ROFL

Because Chiefs

[O.city]

He was always better than his critics said, but it is waht it is.

[Reerun_KC]

Thanks for the playoff memories.

K? Bye!

[Sassy Squatch]

As frustrating are you were at times, you got us 5 straight winning seasons and made Chiefs football bearable to watch. Here's to you Smith.

[DaFace]

Now watch Smith be QBing the NFC in the Bowl next year after Foles did it this year ROFL

Because Chiefs

Don't think it hasn't crossed my mind...

[Pablo]

Thanks for the blue balls and have a nice life fella.

[TimBone]

Yep, team was in the dumps for a few years before Andy and Alex arrived. I can appreciate what Alex has done here. Still, I'd like to see this team get over that playoff hump.

I don't k ow if Mahomes is the guy, but at least they're taking that chance.

Thanks for the lift up, Alex, and good luck in Washington.

[TimBone]

Remember that time he was traded to the Redskins?I DO!

[Rasputin]

I remember that one play where at the end of the half Alex Smith chucked the ball 15 yards to Tyreek Hill and Tyreek Hill ran and juked and around like 9 guys for 60 yards for a touchdown.

[duncan_idaho]

Now watch Smith be QBing the NFC in the Bowl next year after Foles did it this year ROFL

Because Chiefs

Are the Redskins going to roll out a historically elite defense and pair it with a dominant running game?

Other than that, have no fears whatsoever about Smith winning shit there.

[Graystoke]

Yeah I am in. Good professional ball player.
But Time for Chiefs to move on with some homegrown QB

[GloryDayz]

Take care Alex...

[NJChiefsFan]

Great guy. Great teammate. Gave it his all. Really enjoyed how he played at times this year. Helped stabilize the ship.

[rico]

I will never forget that moment I found out he was traded to the Redskins... and for you that, I am eternally grateful!!!

[SuperBowl4]

Another 49er QB who couldn't take the CHIEFS to the Super Bowl. See ya!

[jd1020]

I appreciate today. Thanks Alex. Bye Alex.

[Rain Man]

Thanks, Alex, and we here in the Rain Man households wish you the best going forward.

[O.city]

Dude is getting paid as well.

Good for him. Sets up his family for life.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

Dude is getting paid and now plays in a market the league actually gives a shit about. He signed up for this a long time ago given the extension he accepted.

Lol what? The dude already had the money to do that. Hell, he fucking had it when he signed his #1 overall deal.

He's approaching the point of sucking money from teams like Matt Cassel does. Overpaid piece of crap.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

I think Smith did the classy thing by not complaining or stirring controversy. KC was not the final destination from him, when you live in California/San Francisco you don't to keep living in a fly over state

He got a destination that he wanted evident by the big extension.

Makes you wonder if Vernon Davis played a part in recruiting him.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

Lol what? The dude already had the money to do that. Hell, he ****ing had it when he signed his #1 overall deal.

He's approaching the point of sucking money from teams like Matt Cassel does. Overpaid piece of crap.

The #1 overall deal he originally signed is just a fraction compared to the $100 million he is about to get. Idiot.

funnily thats not what you were saying yesterday about him

he was gonna retire

no sense in playing more

kc was gonna keep him

they would be dumb to trade him

he would play another year on his contract

etc.....

[RealSNR]

Why?

Because ChiefsPAguy, Sandy, Tigger, and company, that's why.

They're the ones who did this to him.

[Fish]

Swell guy. well paid. Glad he's over there now.

[RealSNR]

The #1 overall deal he originally signed is just a fraction compared to the $100 million he is about to get. Idiot.

The #1 overall deal set his family up for life.

The 2nd contract secured it.

The extension with KC just... I don't know what it did, exactly. Bought him a bigger mansion?

This new contract is just money he's going to shove up his ass. He has no use for it at all.

[Sanka]

Good guy best of luck


Do you think he will be back and honored by the chiefs someday?

Honored for what exactly?

[Chiefspants]

While Tiger is right about the market, Alex will also have to face the press that comes with that market.

I do wish him nothing but the best. A guy that's taken that many hits both physically and mentally deserves to ride off in the sunset.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

Agent and union fees plus taxes.

They're a tough/jaded market but it's nothing he didn't experience in San Fran. Coaching staff is perfect for him offensively. He's got an impressive receiver committee with Vernon Davis, Jordan Reed, Doctson, J Crowder, terrelle Pryor, Grant and dual threat RB Thompson. He and his agent went after this deal hard. It was this or Jacksonville.

[RunKC]

So now Tiger is so triggered he’s attacking the city of Kansas City.

[JohnnyHammersticks]

Not a fan of his football ability, just my opinion, but the guy picked one of the best causes to beat the drum for in terms of working with kids who age out of foster care. Considering how tough life can be even under the best of circumstances, I can't even imagine what it would be like spending 18 years in a foster home and never getting chosen for adoption. That's got to really **** with one's self-confidence and sense of belonging. The fact that Alex recognized that and chose that as his charity says a lot about his character and compassion. He's a great dude, I just don't want him quarterbacking the Chiefs anymore.

[Fish]

Pryor was awful last year and poor Reed can't stay healthy.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

Pryor was awful last year and poor Reed can't stay healthy.

True. But when healthy he's an amazing addition to Vernon Davis who Smith already knows well. This trade was calculated for some time. He has more depth than we ever gave him in KC

Plus the Skins have a damn good offensive line

[RealSNR]

Skins have a good offensive line? Aren't they the team that played a MNF game earlier this season with like 4 injured starters or some shit like that?

Sounds reeeeeal consistent and exactly what Alex needs. A place where he can find success but blame his shortcomings on injuries and bad luck.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

LOL. Yeah, Chris Thompson, always injured Jordan Reed, and crowder are better than hunt, kelce, and tyreek. Get over yourself. Smith had a ton of talent on offense.

You continue to prove how you know nothing about the NFL. Skins have one of the best pair of tackles in the league and a young Guard that just made the Pro bowl. This is why their organization has been skeptical about Cousins: top ten protection with a handful of weapons and he still couldn't elevate himself to the top.

Dumb shit.

Half way through the 2018 season you are going to be telling all the Redskins fans on their forums about how the OL is terrible and he doesn't have a single WR.

[Sannyasi]

I don't mind giving Alex his props. Even in his worst times, he was never a Cassel. He was a great fit for Reid's style of offense and the way he protected the ball was underrated. He also played much better than I ever expected he could this last season, and its possible we would have never drafted Mahomes if he had performed that well a year earlier.

That being said, it didn't make sense to keep him on the roster when we have a QBOTF that needs to get some game time. Still, I'm glad he balled out last season so we could get a nice return for him :thumb: thanks Alex. Good luck in Washington, except when you are playing the Chiefs.

He wasn't elite, but he was good enough to win important games with a roster a competent franchise should be able to assemble. The talent was there in spurts, but we had a bad run of health fortunes at inopportune and important times.
We were very fortunate that Mahomes arrived at a time when we could acquire him and he is the first QB entering the NFL in a while that looks truly capable of what the fanbase expects a QB to execute.
We/re doubly fortunate that Smith left quietly for a team that wanted him sufficient to satisfy both him and us to acquire him.

But thats right, you're also the guy who claimed Brady wins because of talent while poor Alex has to suffer playing with hunt, tyreek, and kelce.

Jordan Reed is never healthy. Vernon Davis is old and was never elite in the first place.
Terrelle Pryor is a complete head case and no way do they bring him back

Crowder is average. These guys aren't #1 receivers
Chris Thompson is average, and the rest of the RBs are hot garbage

Depth my ass. And considering that this supposedly all world ol was never healthy, then shame on Washington for blaming cousins' problems on being surrounded with talent. I don't think cousins is that good. But good lord you're overrating the living hell out of this supporting cast.

Alex is going from a team with the leading rusher, best tight end in the game, a rising star WR, and a good pass blocking O-line to a team that is questionable at every offensive skill position.

I think it is safe to say he takes a big step back to lower middle teir QB this year.

"But they are way better and not in a flyover state and look at the money they are paying him." -Tigger

[temper11]

He wasn't elite, but he was good enough to win important games with a roster a competent franchise should be able to assemble. The talent was there in spurts, but we had a bad run of health fortunes at inopportune and important times.
We were very fortunate that Mahomes arrived at a time when we could acquire him and he is the first QB entering the NFL in a while that looks truly capable of what the fanbase expects a QB to execute.
We/re doubly fortunate that Smith left quietly for a team that wanted him sufficient to satisfy both him and us to acquire him.

Good rational post.

[temper11]

The dumbasses who said he was going to the Browns. Like I said to you dumbshits... He has more say in it than you want to believe.

I thought he actually might have wanted to go to the Browns (until I heard his comments today). Unlike the Chiefs, the Browns have drafted a damned 1st round QB in every draft for the last 100 years. They are the exact polor opposites of the Chiefs. Browns fan wants a retread proven QB. And they are 1 and 31! Smith could go there, win 8 games with his eyes closed and be considered a God without all the butt hurt that comes from a fan base frothing at the mouth to play their first drafted QB in a millennia. Anyway, thought there might be at least some appeal there for Smith, but apparently not. :D

Crowder, Doctson, Grant, Pryor, Davis, Reed and Thompson make for an awesome committee. Ask the Patriots what it's like to have a deep offensive roster

Alex....a true class act!

[PAChiefsGuy]

Thanks for everything Alex 'Class Act' Smith! Good luck in Washington (expect for when you play the Chiefs)!!!

[BlackHelicopters]

Another Alex thread. Great way to greet a new day.

[rico]

You have the balls to accuse me of bad behavior?

Oh, and aren't you the one who cried like a little BITCH when I threw this kind of shit back in your face.

Keep showing your ass.

Calm down, gutter slut. It's not like he wrote anything about having a "Baby Lee bereavement" or anything lame like that.

[Chiefs=Champions]

I liked Alex. Good person, above average qb. But im glad he's gone and the Mahomes era can begin. I never wanted to trade for him in the first place. But thanks for the winning seasons Alex.

[brucey_72]

I'm glad he is no longer the QB for a team I watch. I am a 49ers fan and my wife is a Chiefs fan so I have had to watch him for the past 13 years. I am glad I NEVER have to deal with his fanboys again, they are the ones who make the Alex experience awful. I think he is underrated and good QB but his fans make me hate the guy. I can't believe a QB of his level has such a cult following.

That being said thank you Alex for being a class act and also for playing ok football for the last 7 seasons. Thank God it is finally over. Really looking forward to Garoppolo and Mahomes every Sunday. Good luck Chiefs, you have been my 2nd team for a very long time. Hopefully your board gets back to normal. First thing my wife asked is "Can they take Andy with him?"

[Sandy Vagina]

This new contract is just money he's going to shove up his ass. He has no use for it at all.

Alex allocates large portions of his money straight into his non-profit Youth Foundation. He spends much on helping today's disadvantaged kids.

Everyone should be able to find some appreciation for that, at least. :)

[Sandy Vagina]

I thought it would be the cardinals, like it ****ing matters.


I was feeling sure it would be Cardinals as well. I think that would have been the better spot for him, but oh well. Glad he is getting well paid... and they get some strong players back from injury. :)

[notorious]

He made some Wow throws and some excellent scrambles. He constantly showed that he had the ability to be an elite QB, but he couldn’t do it when it mattered the most.

Thanks Alex. I hope you succeed in Washington.

[Shaid]

Good luck Alex. Thanks for taking us from embarrassing to respectable.

[GloryDayz]

I think Smith did the classy thing by not complaining or stirring controversy. KC was not the final destination from him, when you live in California/San Francisco you don't to keep living in a fly over state

He got a destination that he wanted evident by the big extension.

Makes you wonder if Vernon Davis played a part in recruiting him.

He definitely kept his mouth shut when he needed to be a vocal leader. Nobody knows that better than Chiefs fans. I suppose the Redskins will learn about it very soon. That and just how many times a QB can check down in one game.

[GloryDayz]

funnily thats not what you were saying yesterday about him

he was gonna retire

no sense in playing more

kc was gonna keep him

they would be dumb to trade him

he would play another year on his contract

etc.....

Tigger's just mad because Clay kicked his butt (again).

[GloryDayz]

So now Tiger is so triggered he’s attacking the city of Kansas City.

Yyyyyyyyyup....

[Beef Supreme]

I love that Kelce has been in Smith's corner. Smith has been an excellent teammate and a hell of a good guy and Kelce has had his back at all times. It speaks highly of Kelce.

Now get behind the new guy and have his back, and set some records while doing it.

[GloryDayz]

Not a fan of his football ability, just my opinion, but the guy picked one of the best causes to beat the drum for in terms of working with kids who age out of foster care. Considering how tough life can be even under the best of circumstances, I can't even imagine what it would be like spending 18 years in a foster home and never getting chosen for adoption. That's got to really **** with one's self-confidence and sense of belonging. The fact that Alex recognized that and chose that as his charity says a lot about his character and compassion. He's a great dude, I just don't want him quarterbacking the Chiefs anymore.

I tend to agree, and I hope he and his wife keep it going no matter where they live. :thumb:

Clay actually has value to this board. Tigger is just a jackass.

[GloryDayz]

And what will be your excuse when smith fails to elevate them to 'the top'?

To be honest, I'm not sure he won't. Juxtaposing the Redskins owner to ours, I don't think it'll take long for Snyder to let his employees know that Alex isn't allowed to check-down now that he's a Redskin. IOW, he might make sure that his employees know that, if needed, they'll take away the horizontal check-down/bubble screen options, and demand that he take shot vertically.

Remember, Snyder isn't a dead-weight owner like we suffer.

[Sandy Vagina]

Alex Smith is held in much higher regard in the football community than what you hear and read in the wake of pending trade to Washington.

That's extremely unlikely to ever happen.

[Priest31kc]

Again #1 rated QB despite a suspect offensive line and no depth at receiver

You keep bringing up the same stats over and over again.

Again, it was an outlying statistical career high season for Alex. And there were several factors which made that so.

We got really good QB PRODUCTION, more so than really good QB PLAY.

Our receivers led the league in separation per completion. Alex was 40th out of 41 QBs in percentage of throws into tight windows. He was also bottom 10 in air yards per attempt again.

He finally threw for over 3500 yards & 23 TDs (barely, wow 3 more TDs for an amazing 26 TDs!) mainly because Tyreek Hill is the best deep threat this league has seen in awhile now (Which is why Alex led the league in passer rating on deep balls...because Tyreek was WIDE open nearly every time), he had the best TE in the game, he had an elite running game, he had an above average OL, he had the new wrinkles of the RPO, and he had that hot 5 game start that skewed his numbers for the whole season.

And again, fuck your overrated, outdated passer rating statistic. If Alex was #1 or near the top in passer rating every year than that would be different...but he's not. It was an outlying year. And he still only finished 9-7 and was 0-5 in game winning drives. Shitty on 3rd downs. Shitty in the redzone. Shitty in the intermediate part of the field. Shitty when it mattered.

Also, Nick Foles led the league in passer rating one year...Plus he has more playoff wins this year than Alex Smith has as a Chief in 5 and just made a Super Bowl. FOLES >>>> ALEX

[FloridaMan88]

Thank you for winning the September Super Bowl this year, and your first half performances in the Indy and Tennessee playoff games.

That's about it.

[YayMike]

Thank you Alex for restoring us to a level of respect from the NFL. You took us as far as you possibly could and made us relevant again. But now its time to move on!

Your trade (checks #2, 1 and 5) is the beginning of this team going to the next level in the playoffs. A good corner to go opposite of Peters, $15m savings, and a draft pick.

If the other moves that we know need to occur happen, and we get more money from the release of DJ, Hali, Ford, et all, we can sign a LG, a Safety, and draft a few pass rushers, we could IMMEDIATELY contend again next year.

Again -- Thank you Alex for the last 5 years.

Yay Mike

[chiefzilla1501]

Never formally thanked alex Smith for helping us save a shit load of cap money on Revis' playoff bonus.

[gblowfish]

I appreciate him leaving for Washington.

[crayzkirk]

Thanks for the regular season wins, Alex. I know it wasn't all your fault that the team couldn't win in the playoffs. Seems like he was a nice guy, didn't make waves, was a team player, stayed out of trouble and did the best he was capable of.

I'm just concerned that the director of the movie is still here...

[oldman]

He and Reid brought back respectability back to our team and for that I will thank both of them. But there's a big difference in respectability and being a powerhouse and Smith was just never going to take us there.

[ptlyon]

Wonder if he has cleaned out his locker yet?

If so, thanks Alex.

Looks like Kelce is due for a bit of conversion this offseason.

At the moment the trade was 'not news he was trying to hear' and he's taking until March to let the reality settle in for him.

Guess we'll have the same opportunity to decide whether he's an elite weapon or an immature distraction, depending on his acclimation.

And before people attack me for taking a stand, please note that I'm only reporting his words.

Now that Alex is out of the picture, I'd love nothing more than Kelce to pull off a mask 'scooby villian' style and say 'psyche! we've been so hamstrung by Alex, let the Mahomes era begin.' But it is what it is.

Can't even show respect after he's gone? He arguably brought back as much in trade as we spent on him. He helped pulls us out of the gutter and transition to our QBOTF. Sad.

[Baby Lee]

I think he is underrated and good QB but his fans make me hate the guy.

I'm basically the same, except his detractors ruined not only 'the guy' but the entire franchise experience.

Alex's fans would be a lot more irritating, as much as they were for you, if they weren't 'delusionally rooting' for the guy who was, you know, the actual starter for the actual team on the field.

Almost no transitional guys work out in the NFL but Smith did. It would have been nice if it would have been a year earlier but that's hardly Smith's fault. All this Alex Smith rage is hard to understand.

[Buehler445]

I think people forget how much of a shitshoe this franchise was when he came. Squirmin Herman Motherfucking Sack of Cunt Edwards took us from contender to absolute joke and Pioli made it fucking miserable.

Dorsey, Reid and Smith took us from fucking joke to contending again and that is no small feat. I’ll always appreciate their work. I fully acknowledge it isn’t good enough but I won’t lose the perspective Squirmin Herman Motherucking Sack of Cunt Edwards provided me with.

[JakeF]

It's only hard to understand for the people with no knowledge of the Chiefs history.The Chiefs have traded for several San Franciso quarterbacks instead of drafting one. I get it but that rage should be at the Hunt family. It has little to do with Alex Smith, other than he used to be a 49er.

Alex Smith help pull the team out of the gutter, won games, made the playoffs, help teach his replacement(which is rare), arguably brought back as much in trade as it cost to get him. He did all of this without causing a single bit of trouble despite taking shit from many of the fans. Productive transitional quarterbacks like this are rare.

[JakeF]

Watch the GIANTS game again.
What the hell does any single game have to do with anything?

When Dorsey,Reid,Smith showed up we were in the gutter. Now we aren't and Smith just netted us a decent trade on the way out of town. Dorsey drafted Mahomes and Smith helped train him. People love Mahomes but hate Dorsey and Smith for it. Talk about being ungrateful. Pretty sure that's the very definition of it.

[jd1020]

It has to do with both.

I don't know Alex Smith personally so I couldn't care ****ing less about how nice of a guy he is or appears to be.

Alex Smith is made to look good on a team which has had a tremendous amount of talent. The defense has been top 7 in points every year except this last year (15th). The rushing offense has been top 10 all but one year as well (2016 - 15th). On the other hand, the passing offense was GARBAGE every single year except last year and it still ended with the same inevitable shit down the pants full half of football with 0 points and 30 something god damn yards.

Alex has been getting worse every year in the RZ. Luckily for him he had the best HR hitter in the game to elevate his numbers to his first 4k season ever, but still only throwing 26 TDs.

The Chiefs turn around has more to do with Andy Reid having some level of competency compared to the HC's of recent past. The team had the talent before Reid and the defensive core is still around but they lacked any kind of direction.

One minute people are attacking Dorsey because of a lack of talent. The next they are using tons of talent as a reason to be critical Alex Smith for not winning a super bowl. Make up your mind.

I look forward to similar posts from you any year that Mahomes doesn't win a super bowl while in Kansas City.

I've never attacked Dorsey for a lack of talent, but a lot of the talent carried over from the previous regime. Pay attention.

But I've said from the beginning that Dorsey was fucking awful at negotiating contracts or trades, which Pioli was actually good at.
