Repeating this ignorance doesn't make it true.

Nothing else to say. The only question is whether we waste 4 or 5 years on him.

Expect max time. We love our average QB's in KC.

No way.

I guarantee that Andy isn't gonna sit back and put Alex on cruise control like Pioli did with Cassel.

If they out pieces around Alex and he doesn't step up, he will be gone.

Oh, you are absolutely correct. I know that. The replacement for AS will be someone that looks and plays like him. Rinse and repeat. That was more my point.

LMAO

Alex runs a "3 yards and a cloud of checkdowns" offense.

Based on what?

IMO Alex needs to be "Donovan McNabb" to keep the job long term.

I think Andy is gonna give Alex a pass this year because the line was so bad, but if he hasn't stepped up after next year...the end will be near for him.

That's the age Andy moved on from McNabb.

We will know a lot more on this subject if they restructure Alex's contract this offseason.

I guess because pro football focus said so, it must be true. It's refreshing to know Alex Smith is middle of the pack considering the guy almost never throws deep and considering the number of times he has a 3 step drop by playcall design.

I didn't watch much of them this year, but when I did, Bridgewater just seemed meh to me.

What am I missing with him?

The point is that I was told by a lot of Chiefs fans not to worry about the Alex Smith trade. Andy Reid wants to draft and develop his own QB just as much as we do, and at the first opportunity to take a quality QB that he can work with, that's exactly what would be done.

"Don't blame Andy Reid for this franchise's past failures in the QB realm."

"There wasn't anything good in 2013. You can't just draft a QB just to draft one."

Well there sat Bridgewater. And we passed on him just like King Carl would have done.

Dorsey/Reid are probably going to approach their next few drafts that way. "We don't need Rodgers, we have Green. We don't need any QB from the 2012 draft, we have Cassel." Rinse and ****ing repeat.

Middle of the pack? "To Throw" means total time behind the LOS.
When you are a mobile QB who runs 3 times a game it is going to be higher. Even so it is lower than mostly all run threat QBs at the top of the list.

Look at Avg Time to Attempt. Quick, as expected with the offense KC schemed.

Look at the Sack Time. Lower and sometimes a lot lower than most of the scramble/run QBs.

Stop making up crap and educate yourself.

Andy Reid has NEVER held on to a quarterback too long.

While that's true, at some point here in KC, they're gonna have to show me.

So far they've done a great job at investing in the qb position with more total talent than we've had there in a while.

But it's all for naught if they don't find "the guy". Maybe they think they already have, I don't know

LOL

You were spouting the same bullshit in the offseason.

Then Alex got sacked another 45 times.

LOL LOL LOL

He has been an oft-sacked QB ever since Harbaugh "fixed" him. And I bet he takes another 40+ sacks next year!

LOL LOL LOL

I bet if you look at his sacks per pass attempt over the last 4 seasons he's probably in the top 5.

Dude...they are not going to restructure Smith's contract this off-season. He just signed the ****ing thing.

To quote Dane...

Jesus.
