Al has thrown them both quite a few hidden touchdowns. Are you guys even watching the games?

They've been spreading the ball around a lot. I think they had catches by 9 different receivers last week. This is a good thing. It means we have a lot of weapons, and it keeps Ds on their toes. All of you complaining the last few years that we only had one good receiver should be happy. But of course you aren't.

McNabb had 2 seasons over 3,500 yards. A 3,800 and 3,900 yarders. Like I said.. it's on Reid more so than Smith. But individual stats aren't a big deal as long as we are producing points

Right.

Lots of weapons but not lots of yards or points.

.. Hmm..

Wonder why..

Because we drafted DJ over Aaron Rogers. Seriously, you suck as thread starter, like DeBerg did as a QB.

Thank goodness we have Ware and an opportunistic defense.

Why Not? 10-25-2016 08:31 PM

Can't bother Maclin that much. He knew what he was getting himself into

In 2004 and 2008 when McNabb did that, that was good for 8th and 7th in the league.

We all know Smith will NEVER crack the top 10.

Was Alex Smith just compared to McNabb? :|

Alex and Andy combination along with the line early on getting beat up for a few games. Now they got continuity and playing better. It's up to Andy to start opening up the deeper passes more and less of bubble screens. I mean, everyone knows what DAT does since he doesn't run deep routes and get the ball. Also need to see a lot less of Harris and Wilson targets and a lot more of Kelce and Maclin.


Maclin also had a good friend die, so I'm sure that has an impact on his play as well at least early on.

Yes. In fact I did compare their yard totals in Andy Reid's offense

He did a good job spreading the ball around in 2013 and 2014 too.

That's never been his problem. His problem is that a dynamic TE like Travis Kelce with his ability to make the tough catches isn't getting the damn ball. This is the same TE who has the nickname "mini-Gronk" due to his ability to run after the catch and maul tacklers.

One would think a TE like that would be every QB's best friend. So why isn't Alex throwing to him?

That's....not a good comparison.

From looking at their stats they're not really off their pace. I think it feels like they are not producing because we as fans thought we might get more out of them again this year.
