This has turned into a shitty Kape / Alex debate thread. Some people just love reliving that moment again and again and again...

I am still working on who your writing style resembles, I just hope you don't home school.

Allow me to me help you out;

You, Sandy and cooper Barrett don't only share identical opinions regarding your Smitty, but you also have similar writing styles.


Should be:

You, Sandy, and Cooper Barrett don't only share identical opinions regarding your Smitty, but you also have similar writing styles.

I could go further but I really see no reason to exert the energy.

I hope the other two parties chime in also....:loser::loser:

IMHO Alex11 needs a little less efficiency and a lot more effectiveness and that's what coaches are working with him on. Some play makers are loose cannons and Alex11 is being trained to loosen his cannon up in able to be a "play maker" Alex11 needs to not let it get loose but to get it out and have some fun with it. I think Alex11 may be fun to watch this year!!!!!!

I have never said Alex11 has played the last few years as a solid dependable lackluster QB, but he has been exactly that: Boring yet a highly rated QBs in the NFL. Oh and a real playoff game appearance ( I don't count wild cards)

As I recall SF drafted him as a 1st round #1 overall pic.
If you look at his stats he never had 1 season in SF that was better than at KC
He only played an average of 10 games a season with only 2 16 game seasons out of 8.
In KC he averages 15 1\2 games a season for 4 years
His passing is yardage and ratings overall are higher than ever at SF and his INT % are lower.

KC got more than they expected as he has preformed better for us than at SF.

This year the Chiefs are hitting Alex!! with a double down approach. " Do what we want. open up the field, use your weapons, and make plays, and win games." and "Oh and by the way, meet PMll, he wants your job, badly!"

I personally think that Alex 11 is not only going to play better because of the new approach to his passing game but for the simple reason that he is fighting for the quality of the remainder of his career.

I think that this is our year to win a SB for the first time since 1969. If Alex brings us 6-12 more points every game we should at least get past where we have been in the last 47 years. Getting a chance to play for the AFC title.

IMHO Alex11 will fight to get us there and if need be, we have PMll to take over. When the season is over we better hope that our #10 overall pic learns all he can so when he does step up he plays up to the hype for the next 10-15 years. I will certainly say looking at Alex11's stats at SF they didn't get from Smith what they paid for. Let's hope PMll is a better deal.

Scroll down the link mid-way to see the first half/second half stats I mention. He was inaccurate and ineffective in so many 2nd halves.. but the numbers won't reflect that as much since they get blurred into the whole of the games.

I don't hate Kaep at all. I never blamed him for the decisions of the coaching/FO. I think he evolved into quite an idiot from the once humble person he was. I don't typically care for backyard baller types that refuse to improve on their weaknesses. But I don't hate, resent, or think of Kaep at all. I actually feel a little bad for him. He got over-hyped early on.. let it get to his sponge-head, and easily fell victim to some strong influences surrounding him. When he started out, it was easy to see the natural talent. Great arm, very fast straight-line speed.. moxie.

He's not a terrible QB.. but he's not good enough to look beyond all the off-field crap that comes with him.. and it's easy to doubt that his football dedication will ever reach an acceptable level.

Calling plays, using correct technique, finding the mike LB, adapting to changes by the defense (zone, blitz, etc) and utilizing the playbook.This is the biggest reason Alex is the unquestioned starter right now, and it's all learned through experience.

Pat has grown so much since his first OTA practice in May 3 months ago. It would be ideal to give him another 3 months of practice before Andy even thinks about this kid being ready to play.
