I wish he was that guy. We need more gunslinger

Go start another thread about drafting some linemen from Utah in the first.

Pussy.

I listed those guys because they are Super Bowl champions that we passed on...or are very talented young quarterbacks we weren't interested in.

I know you don't want to hear it, but Alex Smith is 31 and is coming off a bad year.

You upgrade just two positions on this offensive line and give this team just one WR who can break off his foot in a defenses ass when coming off the line and hitting his breaks, you will see that guy.

Three position upgrades and this team is in the Super Bowl.

9-7 and beating the best teams in the NFC (Seattle) and AFC (Patriots) isn't a bad year.

9-7 with the toughest schedule in the NFL isn't a bad year.

9-7 with the worst WR and youngest OL group in the NFL isn't a bad year.

I'm not sure how damaged your short term memory is, but if you look back on the ten years prior to Smith and Reid showing up, I don't have any clue as to how you could call the 2014 Chiefs season a "bad year."

The chiefs didn't have a bad year.

Alex smith didn't have a bad year. He had his normal year which proved to not be good enough.

A good quarterback in a pass first offense with a QB guru should never end up with the lowest rated passing game in the NFL.

Lets not act as if the skill position players are "worst in the NFL"

Bowe is a good receiver
Kelce is a top 5 tight end
Wilson and Thomas offer the offense lots of speed and playmaking ability.
Charles and Davis are probably the best running back duo in the NFL.

Teams stacked the box to shut down the run and flood the short zones to eliminate YAC and were literally giving us the deep routes and Alex didn't know what to do.

So, he ended with the leagues worst passing attack and set and NFL record for futility in an era where the rules are slanted to make it easier to throw the ball.

You know what? I've been "seeing that guy" for decades now.

**** that guy.

If Andy Reid really considered getting rid of Alex Smith he wouldn't have signed him to that contract, nor would he have sought out offensive players who do almost all of their damage horizontally.

He knows Smith's limitations and has actively embraced them. He's here until 2018 at the earliest.

What happened Boss? Did your Cheetos eating pals make fun of you 'cause your Madden team didn't put up passing TD's?

Dwayne Bowe is a good receiver in the right system. He's mediocre at best in this system because he runs shit routes, has bad hands and doesn't know where he's at on the field. Right now, he's the single biggest detriment to this team in terms of getting a better guy on the field and tying up massive monetary resources that could be better allocated.

Kelce has the potential to be a Top 3 TE in the NFL. Right now, he's lazy with his technique and lacks serious focus.

Wilson and Thomas are rookies. Thomas is too light in the ass to be anything other than a PR/KR and gadget offensive guy unless he figures out how to run routes like Jackson or Beckham. Wilson is a track guy from a small school. He didn't show dick last season.

Like I said, shit WR's and shit/young OL. However...

9-7 against the hardest schedule in the NFL in 2014 with wins over the two best teams in each division.

That's progress, significant progress, against what this team was and what it accomplished in a short two seasons ago.

No you haven't.

I'm with you. **** that guy. Croyle, Huard, Palko, et al.

Smith is not that guy.

Give this team those three positions and we, along with the Colts, are the team to beat in the AFC for the next three to five years. (And, frankly, I think we are better than the Colts.)

They tried to sign Desean Jackson and Emmanuel Sanders after signing Donnie Avery the year before.

They also signed Wilson who is a speed burner, too...as is Thomas.

I wish I knew how to move a video from my genie to the computer so I could play the video from after the hey last year with Andy talking about Alex and throwing deep and how important it is to his ability to keep his job as a starting NFL quarterback.

Iirc it's either the pregame or during halftime.

No.

Yes.

Smith is a scared, heaping bag of dicks. Defending him at this point is outright comical.

Sac can be very silly when talking about Utah players
