Has a set of balls.

Can build around him and have a 10+ year window.

Is the type of player this fanbase would LOVE.

This board wanted absolutely nothing to do with Foles coming out of college.

Now you can build a franchise around him? Gotta love CP.

The ReidSmith combo is a useless waste of time.

In other words, business as usual in Chiefs Kingdumb.

I'm not sure what they mean by "Accuracy", but I imagine there is a shit ton of variables one could figure into that stat. Like a guy only throwing down field when a guy is wide open.

We had a bottom 7 OL this year. See my bet with Rausch.

And one, literally ONE player was responsible for that awful ranking, otherwise they'd be an adequate OL.

And if Smith can't win with that, he's AIDS and needs to die.

The Reidcuses flow with great flowing.

Not nice.

We saw flashes in 2013 of him testing defenses downfield and being a lot more than a game manager.

Then his OL got severely downgraded through 3 big losses in free agency (all 3 got overpaid) and his 2 guards weren't even nfl quality, let alone starter quality.

His receivers needed a major upgrade last offseason (they were an obvious team weakness) and other than adding Jason Avant late in the year and developing a promising rookie in Albert Wilson...not a whole lot was done to help provide Alex Smith with adequate weapons. Losing Avery to injury further weakened an already subpar unit.

Here's my question:

If they improve the OL and receivers...will we see Alex Smith come out of his shell again (like we saw flashes of in the second half of 2013)?

If he does, how far can this team go if the defense plays like it has and Dee Ford steps into Hali's shoes adequately?

We shall see. This is his last chance...or should be.

Smith is the starter for the next three seasons.

Only if he earns it.

There is really nothing to "fix" with Alex Smith at this juncture in his career.

But to answer the question. Assemble an overall top 5 defense, particularly great at points allowed. Build a much better Oline at pass protection and run blocking then what they have now. Acquire or develop an old school, security blanket, pass catching TE (ie Gonzalez,Whitten), and greatly improve at the WR position. Andy Reid can also help by sticking with a run first scheme, passing off play action. Alex is a play action QB and could advance a team deep into the playoffs with the above improvements.

Surprised by the numbers of Matt Ryan. Roddy White, Julio Jones, etc.

He doesn't have to earn it. He just can't **** it up. As long as he is not making mistakes and costing this team he will be allowed to continue as the starter.

He isn't great. During this graph time-frame he was leaning hard on Tony G. to bail him out on 3rd downs and the redzone specifically.
