Alex Smith the last few years has been if nothing else a WINNER. Higher winning % then just about everyone.

Isn't wins what counts

Hell they would have gone to the superbowl if they had a kick returner who could catch the ball.

the nerve of using the RB...if only it could be the center and the QB..THEN those game winning drives would have merit.

What you say is true.. but how long was Alex left alone in a scheme over his career? 2 years... well, 1.5 really.

When a QB starts a new scheme with a perceived strong defense and STs... it makes sense that the offense will walk before the run. You leave everything roughly the same going into yr 2, and then you can toy around with more aggression... yr 3... more aggression and interesting wrinkles added... and so on.

Like it or hate it... Alex really makes a lot of sense for the Chiefs to evolve that new offense. Now whether Alex takes the pass game to the next level needed? Hey, that's fair to guess on... but not fair to condemn the chances of.

Yes but there's also Smith who has had to make plays on those drives like the long strike to Avery last game Charles gets credit to but Smith also gets credit he has done his fair share on those drives as well It's a team game every one pitches in on those drives

This is actually false.

Against Dallas, when they jumped up to a 14-13 lead in the 3rd Q, the drive that led us back...

Now to the other game where we needed the lead back... Titans

When the Titans scored their 4th quarter TD, they led 17-13.

The next TD drive that put us back on top?

Now that is 7 passes and 3 runs... plus another Alex run, which was a huge conversion due to penalty.

Thoughts on that?



You ready to eat your words and apologize for getting that shit wrong, Snapplez? Man up!

As others pointed out it's not taking other QB's that long.. Rivers and Cutler for example tearing it up this year.

What I think Alex makes sense as is a stop gap QB while they search for/develop that guy that can take the offense to the next level.

Watch out you showed facts that don't support the geno lovers you're clearly stupid for showing those facts LMAO

Rivers and Cutler are both also not getting in tune with a brand new team that also is pointed out.

If Alex doesn't improve Then I would say he's a stop gap. That's something that will depend on how the offense grows or doesn't grow

Yeah man... both mentioned QBs are doing much better than they had been prior. Good on them... though IIRC, both have been turning the ball over at critical times that cost their teams. Would you agree to that?

I get it. Flashier QBs that make big plays... but there is a con there that can really hurt a team.

LMAO

LMAO Disingenuous.

Have you ever posted more than just a line or two to insult some poster or player? Have you any real use at all here? :hmmm:

And that's the key for those guys.....Limit the turnovers while still racking up yards and points.

Insults are all they have. Throw facts that show them they're wrong and you're stupid. It's sad really

Alex Smith does for the most part Limit the turnovers

He has got to start putting up some more points but in some ways the amount of time his type of offense runs off the clock is also something that has helped the defense. And that's going to be the type of offense that beats Peyton. Peyton can't be throwing tds while sitting on the sideline there's some use in an offense like that

It's not just about limiting turnovers... it's knowing when to take the risks and when to play it safe. I think it just as important to restrain aggression as it is to cut loose and take some shots. Some very talented QBs just can not take some of the gunslinger out of their game... and that often hurts their team at really bad times. Whereas, Alex needs to add some gunslinger at times... but it can be hard to question him when he is the #1 win % QB of the last 3 seasons. :hmmm:
