More shit for you to eat bass.

Telegraphed that endzone INT.

You really could see the second he hiked it that he was going there no matter what.

Mellinger on Alex Smith


His underperformance is the single biggest thing holding the Chiefs back. He's always been a small-margin-for-error guy, and missing touchdown throws like he did last week in Carolina, throwing the pick at the goal line today, and allowing his running threat to evaporate without making up for it somewhere else has ruined his effectiveness.

I've always been higher than most on Smith, seeing him as good enough to win with if you have the right pieces around him. But he's regressed so far this season, which is troubling because this was always set up to be the best statistical season of his career.

The interception in the end zone was horrendous. The pass was tipped, but at least on first look it's not clear if that's what caused the interception. Either way, Smith never considered a different option, staring Conley down immediately after the play-action fake. The safety didn't bite, which Smith must not have seen, because that was too easy of an interception and return.

Well I'm tired of Alex Smith throwing passes for the KC Chiefs, because he sucks.

I was pissed we traded for him. I was pissed we extended him. I'm pissed they are still playing him. He's exactly what I thought he was.

His lack of speed this year is glaring. He no longer has that burst that made his scrambling so effective.

Yep, I was burnt too. Another hand-me-down that everybody thought was the next Joe Montana.

I don't think the trade was the problem. Not having a replacement brewing has been the failure. I actually think Reid and Dorsey have intended to do so. They just haven't been aggressive enough.

So it isn't rigged?

Maybe it is rigged. It would explain why they keep that shitty mother****er on the field instead of the bench.

I don't understand why people thought he was so ****ing good in the first place. The dude was bench by Shaun Hill and was traded away for a reason. Chiefs are frustrating.

If it's not, then Reid is ****ing stupid and is a liability as a head football coach.

You pick.

To be fair, nothing looks good in SF.

He was right, the problem wasn't trading for Smith...it was in not preparing for this day, TODAY, when the entire team is stacked and ready for a playoff run...except the coaching is atrocious and there's no QB. All except that.

There are legitimate criticisms of Reid. He doesn't manage the clock well, he doesn't run the ball when we have 1st and goal inside the 5, etc., but lets not forget we were 2-14 and flying banners above arrowhead before he came here. He has consistently fielded competitive teams for more than 15 years. We are better off with him than we have been in a long, long time.
