No receivers are ever open enough for Alex Smith.

No offensive line is ever good enough for Alex Smith.

And there are very few defenses that are stingy enough for him, too.

Alex averages taking one sack for every 11 pass attempts.

I wonder how that stacks up to other quarterbacks.

I'll have to find out...

He didn't seem to have a problem throwing to Avery, Kelce or Wilson.

Didn't read through the thread but when Smith lost Jenkins and avery it hamstrung him.

Give him some protection with the OL and some speed back at WR and yes he will be the QB we want.

Remember back to the 2nd half last year and the playoff game. He was hitting Wide receivers and still protecting the ball.

He has never proven this. The discrepancy in the WR numbers in SF during and after Smith and the WR numbers here before and during Smith illustrate that conclusively.

He's already been Neutered, no need to fix him.

They've picked up rookie QB's in each of the last two years and that's with Smith signing a new contract and bringing in Daniels.

Don't fall into the "But we gotta draft a QB in the first for it to count!!!!" bullshit that always gets thrown around here.

They are not sitting on their laurels. They'll pick a guy when the guy that they like is there and he's better than other guys on their board. That's about it. They aren't going to rush head long into the classic Chief's Planet philosophy of over drafting the QB position just to draft a guy at the QB position.

If this place was picking QB's, we'd have a roster of Jimmy Clausen, Mark Sanchez and Johnny Manziel.

"We shoulda drafted Bridgewater!!!! Oh noes!!! Because he was a QB on the board when we picked!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

This place goes into total epic meltdown when anything but a QB is picked in the first three rounds.

Here's what I don't understand with this whole thing.

Andy Reid has never been ok with or had a qb play as scared as Alec smith does. What changed? Is he now ok with it?

He's always put good to great passing teams on the field, one way or another.

He can't he happy with a bottom of the league passing game, no?

There's no amount of dysfunction elsewhere on the team that could divert some reeruns' eyes from their ridiculous obsession with QB grudges.

Alex is a young pup compared to Brady an Mannning and they made the playoffs. Alex can still be molded, formed and shaped like a piece of clay into the perfect QB.

That's bullshit and you know it.

When you pick up a guy like Jason Avant off the street in the middle of the season and he immediately looks like your best receiver on the team two days later, you know you got problems at the position.

When you insert Jeff Linkenbach into the starting lineup and he's immediately your best guard, you know you got problems at the position.

And I won't even get into the whole 11-5, 9-7 after the worst ten year stretch of football in the franchise's history.

Drew Brees instead of Trent Green?
Aaron Rodgers instead of DJ?
Joe Flacco over Glenn Dorsey or Brandon Albert?
Moving up a couple spots to draft Tanehill?
Taking Bridgewater over Dee Ford?

At one point, this team needs to grow some nuts and at least try.

If you played behind our OL wouldn't you play scared?

You wouldn't be fighting this fight if Alex didn't go to college in Utah.

At the time, I would still take dj.

Rodgers is Rodgers, but I don't think he'd have been what he is anywhere else. He had major overhauls in his game.

The others? Yeah, that sucks
