Because he isn't this QB guru that he is portrayed to be... plus his talent evaluation at the QB position is seriously lacking in his judgment of Smith. he shouldn't get a free pass just because people are so desperate to make Smith the fall guy..

Let's be realistic. It's time for Reid to give up the play calling.

He has a HUGE coaching staff here, it's one of the things that I really appreciate about him. I don't think people realize what getting a new coaching staff actually means. Whether you like it or not, it means starting over again, and I don't think we should throw in the towel.

He's always extracted value from his qbs and gotten them to play at the highest level they can, nothing more nothing less.

Save for Alex smith.

The vast majority of throws in the nfl are around the line of scrimmage. This isn't some crazy and Reid phenomenon, it just doesn't work because the defense doesn't have to respect the deep or intermediate areas of the field.

When watching other teams offenses, it's normal to see 7 defensive players on the normal tv sideline feed. When it's an Alex smith offense, you see 9.

As for QB, Its time for Smith to get "injured" so we can see what we have behind him.

And again, he has flaws. He's terrible in game time situation.

But rebuilding the coaching staff from the ground up isn't always the answer.

I like what the Bengals have done. Just keep adding talent and developing it.

I don't see the issue. Crow is right. Very good defense in Carolina. Good coaching pedigree. Young but experienced. I don't have an opinion either way. Not understanding the strong reaction.

Agree, smith is regressing under Reid and Reid is failing to extract value out of his highly paid handpicked, two draft picks QB.

Reid is failing with smith. He won't make a change and will sink with his qb...
He's not a qb guru. Never has been. Never will be. he doesn't put his team in position to achieve success without a borderline HOF QB and a historically awesome DC.

Last time CP start wishing a their wb would get hurt. Charles ended his season in Detroit.

It starts with Reid. He either changes or we continue with this stupid BS on game days.

Ok, what's a qb guru then? He's always gotten this most out of his qbs, save for Alex smith.

McNabb is borderline hall material?

Can we please add a poll to this thread?!?

We will just have to disagree on this.

What Andy did to this franchise in the Denver game will last long after this season without major changes. That ended Andy for me. He can't be fixed and he won't win here in KC... proof is in the results.

Ready for a nerdy post? Here goes....
In the past 3 years, there have been 29 head coaching hires. Both offensive and defensive "new hire" head coaches have made 27 total 1st round picks:

• 12 QBs have been taken in the first 2 rounds. 10 of them were taken by a defensive head coach "new hire".
• 6 WRs drafted by defensive new hires vs. 4 for offensive coaches
• 1 out of 27 defensive HC new hire first rounders were OL. 7 out of 27 for offensive HCs. 7 out of 13 offensive HCs took an OL in their first draft

Don't fall into the trap that offensive HCs care more about QBs. Based on recent history, they love OL. It's the defensive HCs that are drafting the offensive skill players.

Joe Montana.

Could you please consider finding a way to decrease your signature's size? I'm about ready to turn the damn things off entirely.
