Apparently tied to the arrest last year.

Mother ****er. Wouldn't that mean Sean Smith is going to be suspended a game or 2?

Critical thinking skills..

Alex Smith is a different case. He's hyper conservative and has historically been known to favor RBs/TEs in the passing game. Even if you just go back 3 years, like most Alex Smith ball washers do, he's played with some pretty good WRs and none have sniffed 1,000 yards.

I mean, is this shit hard for people to understand?

What's hard to understand is how everyone ignores multiple reports by guys who watch game film for a living that Bowe was slower than a TE last year, and instead blame Alex Smith.

Teicher: No sign yet that Bowe will bounce back
 

I never read any of those reports. I did read posts from jackasses on this site screaming that none of our guys get open. Then I open a new thread to see some random ass gif of our guys clearly getting open..

Anyway, chiefnj or whatever his name is just posted the "Offensive Identity" thread in the Lounge. Go check that out. We targeted our RBs more than our WRs. No team in the league even came close to the percentage of passing plays targeting RBs as opposed to WRs that we had.

"Ahh, but Andy Reid's West Coast offense!" Shuuuuuut the **** up.

% of targets to WR/RB is a function of many variables, including the ability of WRs to get open.

Right, but when you've doubled the percentage of damn near every other team in the league, you have a pretty strong case for saying the QB needs to look down field more often.

I find it hard to believe the Titans, Rams, Jets, Raiders, Panthers, etc have WR corps that much better than ours. None of those teams even eclipsed the 20% of total targets to RBs mark. We eclipsed 45!

I mean, shit. With that "Offensive Identity" thread and Clay and Saphojunkie's posts highlighting the extremely lopsided down field passing chart, is it really ****ing hard to grasp why a guy that averaged over 1,000 yards per season would come in and only go for 600?

After the bye week, the Chiefs offense played well. Whether Bowe rebounds this year or not, if the O-line blocks as well as they did post-bye, I think we'll have a good passing offense, regardless of the defined position of the receiving targets. I know I am in the minority, but I thought Alex Smith played well last year, and expect him to play better this year, if the line can block.

Well, the good news is that he won't drop any balls against Tennessee. The bad news is that it was actually one of the few games where he might have put up some decent stats because he would have been going against an average corner.

Alex Smith isn't terrible. I would never make that claim. What he gives you makes him just about average- anywhere from 12-18 in the league to most people, I'd guess. It's just that he's so hyper conservative that it makes him hard to gauge. We really haven't seen anything like him in the NFL.

Drew Brees and Peyton Manning throw to their RBs and short routes all the time, but those guys also sling the rock all over the yard and lead the league in passing in almost every major statistical category while propelling their offenses to top 3 territory year aftet year..

One thing is certain, he's going to have to play better this season than he did last year if we want to have a prayer of making the playoffs. All of those games with 185 passing yards and no TDs have to go. After 9 years in the league, or whatever he's got under his belt, he shouldn't have so much trouble moving the chains.

You just don't get it. Alex Smith isn't going to win those games. If he scored 34 the opponent would score 37.

He doesn't have what it takes to win shootouts.

You just don't get it. Alex is going to be our quarterback for the next 3-4 years whether you like it or not. If you don't think he's going to win, or if you don't want him to win, then why hang around? Why be a Chiefs fan?

You really really really really really really need to stop posting these kinds of statistics. They mean less than nothing. Less than nothing.

:facepalm:


I think I know what you're trying to say here, but that statement makes no ****ing sense.
