Read post 74 and why Reid doesn't want to get his QB killed.

this team looks better than what?

2-14?

We never got Charles going. That should help the pass and the offense in general. We clearly Aren't gonna light it up on offense though. And I wouldn't worry about Hali and Houston. I truly believe the D will be fine.

Why don't you look at it this way: Packers fans and Patriots fans have way more this preseason to be afraid of and put SIGNIFICANTLY worse performances than the Chiefs did. The Packers got lit up by the CARDINALS and the Pats got destroyed by the Lions 40-9. Abysmal.

Both of those teams can win the Superbowl.

I think we're about to see big things from this defense, special teams and running game and I agree with others that this looks like the best of Martyball coming back and I couldn't be happier.

We even have reason to hope with a young quarterback and a young receiver (Junior Hemingway). Lighten up.

24 attempts.

Just a sign of a QB throwing a lot, nothing else.

Mork Castille could rack up 3hundy on 48 attempts.

barring no major injuries:thumb:

No, because those teams are established.

Clearly, anyone thinking that they can use the preseason as a precursor as a reason to panic about the defense, should stop posting.

Bob Sutton is a blitzing whore.

Did you see any exotic blitzes?

I didn't. I saw some basic blitzes, but nothing exotic.

The Chiefs are going to unload against the Jags, and then certain turds on this board will be all "YAYZ WE AREZ DA AWESOMEZ!!!!"

Which is fine. I expect the Chiefs defense to be a complete menace.

You know what turds im referring to. I don't mention bitches by name though.

Against the steelers? Ok.


More excuses. Now he has too many attempts.

What can't be ignored is that the team is run like a professional organization is supposed to be run. It is obvious that the players are responding to the coaching staff. They are well organized, disciplined, and motivated. Proof is in the low penalties and lack of stupid moves by the players. I see an 8-8 season as a realistic objective for a team that only won 2 games last year. The future looks good for this team.

It's a passing league remember? And no, Mark couldn't. 48 x 2 = 96. Math fail.

There are some major concerns, such as the interior OL and #3 and #4 CB's, but there was also a lot to like about this preseason.

-ST's will be a top 10 unit.
-Poe looks like a force
-Avery looked solid
-Hemingway looks like he'll be a nice little weapon and ST's player
-DeVito is gonna be a rock on the DL
-Abdullah looked solid in the slot
-Nico Johnson looks awesome
-Bray looks like he has real potential

All the people whining about our secondary and other shit need to realize that Reid is in his first year. He can't fix this shit in one offseason. Dunta Robinson was about the best he could do for right now.

Quit treating this team like they're a finished product.

I'm not making excuses.

Alex threw a lot of passes. That's why he had a lot of yards.

It wasn't particularly impressive. You know?

60 seconds of it was nice, though. The rest, meh.

I agree, the D looks nasty.

knile davis was so damn close to 1.0 yards per carry too

another .25 yard /carry and he was RIGHT there

The only difference is you've seen a lot of those players with that coaching staff in the regular season and you haven't with ours. You're being purposefully pessimistic, ignoring all the good signs and exaggerating all the bad. I understand that this organization has beaten our brains in for like ten years but ignoring the extremely positive signs because you refuse to believe is burying your head in the sand.

Cassel has more 300-yard games than Alex.

Let's not forget the facts, people...

60 seconds is extremely positive?

I like McDougald as a potential CB

Absolutely not.

If thats a fact its a fact that blows my mind

Oh boy. Some really good quarterbacks have lots of yards. You know who also has tons of 300 yard games? Shitty quarterbacks on shitty teams. This is a west coast offense and you measure west coast offense by touchdowns, turnover margin and wins. Not 300 yard games.

Aaron Rodgers called, and couldn't stop laughing.

Alex doesn't throw for a lot of yards. Never has, never will.

Winning lol

Against the best defense in the league last year, our offense had 2 bad drives in a half (2 3 and outs). 2 drives flipped field position, 2 scoring drives.

Got to be able to finish drives though, that was concerning.

Hyperbole much.

Tony Romo throws for a shit ton of yards. He has the same amount of playoff wins as Alex Smith.

Do I win the Internets?

If he converts 3rd downs and we score I can live with it. Yeah I want the type of QB you desire too, but for now...it isn't so bad.

the Fg drive.....I don't expect to see that bland of play calling during the season. They clearly were working on the run game.

not to mention that staggering 17 td per season average

you mean a qb that can look off targets come back and throw tds? Or one that can roll to his right and make impossible throws that his guy catches? or one that can locate a matchup, and deliver a perfect lob for a td?

I want that too. Luckily the Chiefs have one developing. His name....


BRAY

Aaron Rodgers is my favorite quarterback in the league and if we could get him I'd do it in a second. But they have a shitty running game. He has to throw that many yards.

The last time the Chiefs won a playoff game was in 1993 and Joe Montana threw for 2144 yards. Before you say oh the game has changed Joe Flacco has never thrown for 4000 yards. Trent Green did and didn't win a playoff game.

I don't care about total yards.

Facts are facts. When has he ever thrown for a lot of yards?

Much? It's his whole mantra.

Facts are facts: He was 6-2 last year with the highest QBR in the league.

He was QB of a team that was an OT victory from the Super Bowl.

In preseason, he looks to be the same exact guy as he was last year when leading said team to 6-2.

Bob Griese won a Super Bowl throwing for 112 yards.

You need to shut the **** up.

You better change your tampon before you succumb to toxic shock.

This is genius.

in 11 games you ****ing retawd

Hes never played in an Andy Reid pass happy offense either.

If he can bring his accuracy and efficiency into it, it wil be successful. I hope he does, it will be fun to watch if he does.

I'm skeptical, but hopeful.

Which is an average of 194 yards a game you genius.

No, idiot.

It's already been explained to you why Tony Romo > Alex Smith, but you are a shit-for-brains blockhead who doesn't understand logic and team strengths so you will never get it.

Team strengths? I lol'd

Trent Dilfer, too!

We should shoot for this.

way to change the subject....you said 2100 yards in a SEASON

Welp personal insults time already that's when the debate goes sour, time to hit the ol' dusty trail.

This thread is so full of ass hurt. Its hilarious.

Btw. The preseason is over. One week till the real thing. Midol, have a drink, and get excited bitches...........


:LOL:

Yep. Romo is his team's strength.

Alex was his team's weakness.

Yeah, Flowers arm was not in there and he did not rip it out. :rolleyes:

LOL, did he really just say that????

i dont mind 3200 yards per season.....in the right system...with a qb like joe

try NOT comparing alex smith to joe if you dont want to be laughed at

Like I said, I lol'd

LMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAO

That's impressive.

Still doesn't change the fact that there were wide open receivers all ****ing half.

Your reading comprehension is abysmal. I used Joe and Flacco to illustrate that you don't need high yardage to win. That is NOT comparing Alex Smith to Joe Montana buddy.

SF strengths:

1. 49ers defense.

2. 49ers running game

3. Alex


Dallas strengths:

1. Romo

2. Cowboys running game

3. Cowboys defense


These points CANNOT be refuted.

I called that one

That's still only 194 yards per game.

Russell Smith averaged 198 per game last year.

Why is this even up for debate?

The Cowboys would be one of the worst teams in football without Romo.

Without Alex, well...the 49ers are just fine.

Wins and losses, Goatboy

Again, change that bloody plug before you go septic.

Kaepernick or romo?

sorry....

:deevee:

The 49ers have a dominant run game, a dominant run blocking oline, a dominant defense, and a head coach who loves running the ball.

yeahhhh, they should definitely chuck it all over.....

That's what id do too.

:banghead:

You could say this about most teams in the NFL with a half competent starting QB. Take Brees out and the Saints suck, Brady out and the Patriots are a sub .500 ball club. Very few teams are like the 49ers where they are going to be half-way decent no matter who is throwing the rock due to the 49ers being a very 'complete' team.

Take Peyton from the Broncos and that is a 3 win team there.

Its a given that Tony Romo is a better qb than Alex Smith.

What is missed here is that even with Kaepernick, who is a much better qb than Alex Smith, the 49ers are still going to run the ball, MORE than they pass this year.

And at the end of the year, I will post the number of rushes, and passes. Jim Harbaugh ran 58 percent of the time in college. That's with Andrew Luck.

That's who he is. That's the strength of the 49ers.....

It's not changing the subject, jackass.

If you extrapolate his per game average out for the other five games, he still has 3,000 yards. The fact is you are making a ****ing stupid argument.

Total yards are interesting but are not NECESSARY to win Super Bowls, which was his only point.

Romo and Smith are very similar in my opinion. They are both serviceable, but neither is championship caliber. Dallas won't win a championship with Romo, and the Chiefs I don't think will with Smith. Whatever else happens is just stats.

The 49ers won despite Alex.

The Cowboys won despite their awful defense and awful running game.

The 49ers are trash without Alex Smith if they didn't happen to draft an awesome quarterback in Kaepernick. And look if Alex Smith gets injured in the future and Bray comes in and leads us to a Superbowl I'm all in on trading him away just like the 49ers did.

In the meantime, you've got to admit it's getting better.

It's getting better all the time.

I prefer to be optimistic again for once because I prefer that to being a Ravens fan, bitching and moaning and finding faults in your team all the while winning. They are miserable again already and I'd rather bring back the optimism in Arrowhead because that's who we really are as a fanbase.

Mostly because we don't have to live in freaking Baltimore but whatever.

Hey Clay,

Alex Smith threw for 158 passing yards, a TD (no INT's) and had a 71% completion percentage vs the Steelers.

Oh and he had about 40 yards rushing, too.

So...he was on pace to throw for more than 300 yards, 2 TD's and a high completion % against the best statistical defense in the entire league last year.

Ha! LMAO

Anyone can do that when they throw it that many times

No they can't. Clay told me so. :)

Don't let facts get in the way of a good Clay argument. He learned at the feet of Nick Athan after all.

Like I said...you throw 48 passes...you're probably gonna have close to 300 yards.

Your arrogance is only surpassed by your ignorance.

Strike Geno because that turd stinks. Who would you be running out at qb against Jacksonville?

Did the Cowboys have a good defense or something?
