Westbrook was the best example of the way Charles should and hopefully will be used.


And I'm not a fan at all of having Alex Smith run the spread option. I'm not a fan of having my QB do that unless he's built like Cam Newton.

Listening to Alex Smith's interview, I think Reid is just going to "tweek" his offense to the strengths of his players. That would include the QB position, and putting in a passing offense that fits the strengths of what Smith can do, instead of trying to force Smith into making plays that don't fit within his skill set just because those plays maybe worked for McNabb or Favre.

I'll bet we still throw it though. Probably a lot.

Dude has 153,000+ posts. No way he can survive being away from here for a year. He will not honor the bet, break it at some point, or post under a mult. You are hoping for something that won't happen.

I have read where the next big thing in the pistol is going to be the play action pass. That should play right into Smith's strengths.

I understand that. I would prefer the chiefs use like the Patriots model with the Spread. Get the ball out quick. Bowe is deadly in the open field. Charles is deadly in the open field. Those would be great things to do for the Chiefs.

It's irrelevant, because there's no way this team is winning more than 8 games.

We're going to see alot of (planned) dump offs to Charles and screens I bet. Something that Cassel still failed at. Every time I saw him MISS a screen pass or a simple dump off I wanted to kill him.

Which, coincidently, is going to make Smith have better numbers than most people expect, imo.

all of the above is true. And, I have told him on multiple accounts, that he doesn't have to leave, I will if I lose. But he can stay. And if he stays, I will shove that shit down his throat every single day of the year. An Alex Smith HOMER, came onto your board, and pushed your shit in. That would be harder for me to take, than just leaving.

I hope he does.

But if thats the case, why didn't he do it for Michael Vick? Or Foles?

I'm not a huge fan of going out and giving up what we gave up for a QB who we have to "tweek" the system we want to run in order for him to run it.

I think physically, Smith can run the same system Reid's always ran, he just has to have the confidence to do it.

Them's fightin' words around these parts!!!!

At least you are hoping right? I mean within the last week you said the first honest thing that most have ever heard you say. You hope Alex Smith fails. So you will be praying that the Chiefs lose. Shrugs. LOL. That to me is comical......

my bad lol.

Smith isn't going to have to pump it downfield ala Flacco.

He just needs to be precise in Reid's WCO and take it downfield enough to keep teams honest.

He is 'tweeking' it to his players strengths. Isn't that would a good coach should do?

You yourself said you hope Kaepernick fails, thus hoping the 9ers lose.
