Efficiency above Fantasy Football hoopla.

:facepalm:

Again, if a top end performance from Alex Smith is 232 yards, I'm not impressed.

232 yards should be an AVERAGE game for a top 10 QB.

that was "good game" for him and he still took FOUR sacks

so even when he plays a great game hes still taking sacks like Damon ****ing Huard cause he holds the ball unless the guy is for sure wide open.

and that was behind a top 3 offensive line in the NFL. We have a rookie at RT that's going to have growing pains. Not to mention a first timer at LG (or a journeyman that hasnt played a full season since like 2010) as well and a Center that has yet to play a full 16 game season.

Dude might take 50 sacks this season

I'm not sure he will survive a 50 sack season

he wont he usually gets hurt by the 25-30+ sack mark, except that good 2011 when he took 40+ sacks in a full season

unless Andy Reid's offense has him dinking and dunking the whole time, his biggest flaw will be taking sacks/hits and hes injury prone the way it is. A bad potential combo.

But hey we got butt chin as our #2 QB so our season will be fine.

I don't understand why you are focusing so much on yards thrown?

There's a shit ton of QBs that very well may have been great if they fell into the right circumstances. How does that saying go? Something like "opportunity is when circumstances meet with timing". Something like that anyway. </break> What if Steve Young was drafted by the Chiefs under Marty? He'd be a blip on the radar that NFL fans barely remember at this point as opposed to a great QB. Coming out of college Jake Plummer was one of the most highly touted QBs but he wound up being drafted by the Arizona Cardinals. That's the same death sentence for a QB as being drafted by the Chiefs. </break> Seriously be honest with yourself, the Chiefs have the foresight of the evolution of the NFL the equivilent of what my grandfather had with first person shooters and MMO video games. They're just clueless. Maybe Reid and Dorsey can change that, I hope they do but I don't I'm not getting my hopes up anymore. </break> This is the same team and ownership that had Joe ****ing Montana and didn't draft a QB for him to mentor. You might as well be working for Atari if you want to compare the NFL and game evolution.

It means he usually finishes off his drives, rather than stalling at the 20 or 30 and allowing his kicker to set the club record for most points scored in a season.

Because Alex Smith sucks at throwing for a lot of yards.

That wins games, son.

This isn't 1995.

You don't need your QB to air the ball down the field all the time in today's NFL. That's a misconception.

The quarterbacks who pile up the yards are the ones winning games today.

Most of those yards are yards after the catch, which is the same thing Alex Smith is gonna be doing here.

Puppy dogs and rainbow farts for everyone!

Big Ben threw 20 TD's and 2,869 yards in passes thrown from the LOS to 20 yards.

Tom Brady threw 26 TD's and 4,101 yards in passes thrown from the LOS to 20 yards.

Hell Brady threw 21 TD's alone on passes either behind the LOS or 1-10 yards out.

Not sure why we are comparing Alex Smith to QBs who throw for more 300 yard games per season than he does for his whole career.
