Why not win now? That's been said during DT time. That's what Dick Vermeil tried we are always in the win now mode never are we building for Championships.

I'm cool with that and I think we will if the opportunity arises. It's just really sad how Pioli rocked Chiefs Kingdom to its core. He's gone now and I think some don't really realize it. I don't know what else Clark needs to do. He got a new GM he is very blue collar and forthcoming, we have three new QBs, and a proven winner of a HC. Pioli sucked ass but, he is gone. Let's give these guys a chance.

Exactly. Kids and fantasy footballers can focus on the numbers like this, but all that ever really matters are the wins.

I would easily suspect Smith's completion % to be much better. At least in the 60's. The QBR would likely be in the upper 80's to low 90's. TD/INT ratio looks good enough. Yardage would obviously be higher unless people are wrong about Reid's planned aggression... or Smith misses a few games.

Overall, if he puts up your numbers and KC either goes to or just misses the playoffs at 9-7? Then, I'd say it was a decent and promising start... and to expect even better from the 2014 season.

So now, you think Smith is not good enough, and your money is on him getting booted? Do I have that right? Am I to understand that you have now flip-flopped already on Smith just for the sake of sucking CP's e-penis?

If so...

Good post and I agree. People are consumed by numbers.

I like the Alex Smith I saw the past two years.

I like the fact that Alex was very masterful at running the offense, the pre play adjustments, the giving the players a chance to make a play, the ability to be clutch when he needed to be, and not having to be THE GUY.

I have no idea how Andy Reid is going to use Alex Smith. Until I see that, I am skeptical.

Even you have to admit that Alex's strength is not pushing the ball down the field.

Until I see it done consistently, I even as big of a fan of Alex as I am, aint buying it. I will gladly eat crow when I see it. This doesn't mean im sucking anything. I am merely maintaining what I have said since I have been here.

Being realistic, makes me no less of an Alex Smith fan. I just have no problem admitting ive never seen him be asked to carry an offense, and be successful.

Expect around a 61% completion percentage, 2800 yards, a bottom 10 3rd down conversion rate, and 15-18 TD's.

This.

Or, restated in an easier way:

Are these Matt Cassel "Pro Bowl" numbers?

with Jamaal & DBOWE primary targets on the other end of those passes, I'm going to say you're off. 3500 yd area, 25 td's.

can't find stats for any of this so it can't be important /cp elite

too early to be feeding the TROLLS ace......:D

I'd say no; simply because of the price of two 2nds.

at least you think the chiefs will win 8 games.

Who cares about stats?

Because if you only focus on wins, those wins aren't sustainable. It's a sign of a football team getting away with more than they should, and eventually (next year or in the playoffs) that shit usually comes crashing down.

There are very few teams that can win in the playoffs year after year after year and not "look good" on paper.

We don't want 2010 again. 2010 can go **** itself in the eye.

I should've also stated that my view was based simply on the stats. If they make it to the AFC Championship game etc, then it's worth it. But, they won't.

I say they're 6-10 / 8-8 team.
