1. Gray slowed down. Not Smith's fault.

2. The fumble was his fault, but also a great play by the defender.

3. The grounding call made absolutely no difference to the game. If he had taken a sack we would have still had the loss of down and loss of yards. Meaningless penalty, nothing to bitch about at all.

4. The throw to Bowe was good, Bowe didn't get his foot in because he was pushed out.

No you don't. You assign blame to those that deserve it. Alex Smith did not lose that game yesterday, and doesn't deserve blame.

44 points, 380 yards passing, 57 yards rushing, 4 TDs and no interceptions. What more should a QB have to do?

Now that the 2-2nd round picks are already spent, and you are drafting well in the back half of the draft, you might as well sign Alex for a few years until you can find and groom your franchise QB. It is unlikely to be Bray, but who knows at this point. You could do a lot worse than Alex, and it is not like it costs you draft picks going forward.

Kaep > Rodgers?

Sure.

LMAO

Some people are never going to be satisfied, and you're crazy if the idea that he didn't step up and have his best in our most meaningful game of this year and the last couple years for the Chiefs organization.

Ya, he's to blame! ? :banghead:

Time to build around him. Nice win for the 49ers today. Congrats!

Just wait until he signs the 5-year, $70M deal in late January….

Yep, thats how I see it too. I think at worst, Alex Smith is roughly average, and could be a little above average. He's worth extending at a reasonable price, but we should still look for a good QB prospect to watch, hold the clipboard, and learn. If not this draft, then certainly the draft after that.

I think he deserves to be the Chiefs QB for the foreseeable future, 3 year deal most likely.

I think he's good enough to get them to a SB and win

Hard to argue. Lock him up.

Yeah, I can definitely see 3 years. And if he starts to become ineffective or suck, cut him after 2.

He really needs to amp up his game in my opinion to where he is throwing 30 td's a year for us to really become a championship threat.

My guess is that we'll see a 5 year extention for the average of top 15 to top 10 QBs.

Right now he's earning something like 9 Mil APY and he's middle of the pack.

So 10-15 with a 5 year contract wouldn't surprise me. He could probably get more, but I think Alex isn't after the $ but the respect and wants to be shown a long term commitment.

If we get a legit #2 wr and our injured rookie TE or someone else who would be considered a legitimate NFL WR & TE, I think he can do 30 tds next year.

Isn't Thomas (TE, Denver) a free agent? I thought I heard that, and that he may not be back with them as they think they have 2 young (& cheap) guys behind him that they can do fine with. I'm sure they'll want to devote as much as they can to improve their defense.

Absolutely. Finding a QB prospect with elite potential is the NFL Holy Grail. It is the most important position and the place where you would like your best player.
