That could very well be true, I don't think so since he missed by quite a bit, but it'd still be Smith's fault even it it were true.

What I don't understand is the 100 pages crucifying the guy over that play.

You have the option to not come into a Smith thread. Lots of other threads.

LMAO. You OBVIOUSLY haven't been here long. Every thread turns into an Alex Smith thread.

Holy Christ.

We're a whopping 3% above the league average.

THREE.

PERCENT.

I knew you guys had lost a marble or two, but you're honestly going to try to make the argument that this 3% makes a huge difference?

At Smith's current average of 31 attempts per game, that's not even a FULL DROP per game difference from the league average.

Yep. 9/10ths of a drop is what's causing Alex Smith to be an average QB and keeping him from being an elite QB.

Unless you're a "new" KC fan - then it's ALL the WR's fault.

This place has become a ****ing joke.

These two statements to me seem conflicting. I happen to think he is one of the better QB's you can have, if you have a crappy line, because of his football IQ and his scrambling ability.

Bengals lead the league in drops.....yet Andy Dalton sucks. Chiefs are 2nd....it's not Alex Smith's fault!

Which is why he shits his pants with a clean pocket....right?

Maybe... don't know why that would be either, but you specifically came into a thread titled "let's do the Alex Smith thing again"... and then stated you don't ever want to speak about Alex Smith again.

Because we have bad route runners and slow WR's.

It means he won't THROW THE BALL DEEP without time.

He can avoid the rush. He can move. He can NOT get sacked.

That isn't the same thing as being able the make the throws he needs to make. Keep in mind his best season ever SF had an absolutely tits O line. He had time...

I don't think he does... I know you like saying that a lot...

Andy Dalton isn't responsible for his receivers dropped passes either. Who said that?

So who can make those throws with a shit o line, bad route runners and slow WR's?

No one.

AND I MADE THIS POINT BEFORE THE SEASON STARTED.

I don't think it's even fair to judge the guy after Dorsey ****ed him in the offseason and Phat Andy has multiple-coordinator-personality-disease...

It was determined that 9.6% of Smith's throws are dropped so far. May not seem like much to you, but that is the worst in the league. Some drops are more brutal than others.. just ask Hemingway and Bowe about last week's game.

This place is not a joke.. it just has some people that can't discuss things without getting all childish and straying from the topic discussion.

You are always free to go back to wherever it is you go during most weeks.

Everyone knows what these Alex threads consist of... pages of people whining over a play here or there... to the point where others have to come in and point out how QBs are not perfect.. and there are plays that are underwhelming for all of them.

Funny how all we hear at CP is that the WR's are slow and can't get open, yet when wr see footage of said wrs or articles about it or from guys at the game, we have WR's running open.

Weird
