Geno will have good days and he will have bad days. So will Alex Smith. And the stupid ****ing arguments from mental midgets will continue. Meanwhile this is a Chiefs forum and the Chiefs are 3-0. Some of you seem more excited that Geno Smith had a good day than that the Chiefs are 3-0. Odd.

Go watch the gifs of those throws, o.

Geno made 6 or 7 throws today that were special.

So go root for the Jets? And stop reminding the 75% of us on this board you're delusional if you think Geno Smith is going to win more games than Alex Smith?

Excited about Geno.

Surprised by the Chiefs.

Is what it is.

I didn't say it was because of Alex...Team effort!!!
But the fact remains...we are 3-0, with a great defense and a good offense( with issues that are need to be addressed).

Go again with BCD and the "he doesn't play for the Chiefs, so why should I care."

Minutes after saying he watches other NFL teams and enjoys watching football.

Can't some of us be fans of players that don't play for KC?

Oh I saw the gifs.

Looked like the threw the deep ball well today, which was cool to see him improve on it after the Pats game.

Be honest, you would be crying your eyes out if Alex had a 2 TD 2 INT day.

Fan? Sure. This right here is an obsession.

Or trolling...

Alex is not allowed to throw picks.

He's a veteran who never goes down the field.

0 margin for error

As usual, you don't understand the conversation.

Yeah, it's much tougher to just "throw it deeeeeep"

This. No picks allowed for short-chuck Axl.

listen to yourself dude.

:rolleyes:

hilarious hindsight:

1-1: sheldon richardson
2-2: geno smith

and the brilliant thing about this? it improves our defense EVEN MORE, our offensive line IS ABOUT THE ****ING SAME, and we actually have our second round pick next year

When you are incapable of Unleashing The Dragon, different standards apply.:harumph:

I'd love to have Alex Smith and Sheldon Richardson. Not poop mouth Fisher.

This makes no sense.

Me enjoying other games has nothing to do with what I'm talking about.

You guys are obsessing over one player.

Axl keeps defenses somewhat honest, but not as honest as Geno can, has, and will.

no.

coulda woulda shoulda

Eh...

Jackson is playing pretty good right now as is DeVito.

They were already looking to trade Albert heading into the NFL Draft and he's playing under a single year Franchise tag.

They had to take the offensive tackle and by all accounts Fisher was the best of the bunch.

It was a solid pick. Not sexy, but solid. And I think that while Fisher is getting his ass kicked right now, he's got the tools to eventually be a pretty good OT. He isn't getting much help from Asamoah at this point either and not having Fasano hurts him as well.

He also had a nice rushing TD, fwiw.

Richardson would greatly increase our ability to not only rush the passer out of base sets, but Poe and Richardson in nickel and dime sets would be fantastic.

Alex Smith is a 29 year old vet quarterback that should make less mistakes than a rookie playing his third NFL game.

Even with that taken into account, I'd take:

331 yards
2td passes (both deep balls)
1 rushing td
2 ints

Anyone that would be mad with a game like that in a quarterbacks third start in his rookie year is a ****ing idiot.

He blew up the Bills last season against largely the same core defense with a number of 9 route throws.

18/24 303 YDs 3TDs 0INT 49 YDs (rushing)

Does saying Geno had a good outing and looked good today make me less of a Chiefs fan? To some fans in this thread, it seems taht way.

Good lord. The guy had a good game today. It's ok to see other players in the NFL play well and acknowledge it.

What's wrong with talking about other angles besides what actually happened?

This is a message board, isn't it?

This is a Alex Smith/Gwno Smith thread, isn't it?

It's a good thing nobody EVER discussed that Blackledge pick.

ya, I can't stop talking about the girl I didn't marry to my current wife.

gets me laid every time.


you just want to bitch about something that didn't happen.

nothing could be more stale..

Most of his deeper passes against NE were solid, too. Outside of 3 or 4 bad throws, of course.

I don't think I've ever watched an NFL game with that many drops before.

In fact, the Jets players were calling each other out during practice all week about it and when players weren't giving max effort...that alone seems to have fixed the problem, even if it's only temporarily fixed.

That should have been another game that Geno threw for big yardage IMO.

ROFL

...:D

Is it fair to say Geno is better than Mark Sanchez already?

Hell we already have a Tony Romo comparison... As if that's a negative thing for a rookie QB with a lack of talent around him.

and it changes everything today!

I know you are directing this at me, and I agree, completely.

However, acknowledge is one thing.

Obsession is something else.

LMAO

We would have done horribly in drafting him. Why, we might be 2-1!!!!!!

Oh, it was the talk of ARPANET!!

The text based packet transfer world was ablaze with 'Carl Peterson this' and 'Carl Peterson that.'

Somehow people that don't like this discussion topic are still in this thread bitching about it....

You seem to hate critical thinking when it comes to discussing the dealings of this team.

Always have, at least in my dealings with you.

This is no different than in January 2011 (just after the playoff game) when I was saying that mid 2010 was the best Cassel will ever play because of how the year ended against Oakland and Baltimore and you got so mad about it that you wanted to bet be a 1 year ban that what I was saying wasn't gonna happen.

You wanted to believe it so bad that you didn't think it through.

Well, here we are.

Hopefully, this time you are right.

Geno swings hefty peen, while Axl kind of 'tweezer faps' it in the corner of his dorm room.

ROFL:clap: rep.

Find ONE post where I've endorsed AS or completely dogged GS. Just one...take your time. I can wait.

Cassel is gone. I suggest you get over that too.

And some people are bitching about that.

Get over yourself.

I don't agree with that, he was just a bit late, just a bit off in terms of accuracy, in the NE game. He wasn't solid in that game, as DJLN spoke about in the game thread. I think you had your ganggreen glasses on :D Basically, it was all of what everyone said his struggles were.

But it seems he improved that today, so for a rookie thats exactly what you want to see.

I would like to see him really touch up his mechanics as he still seems to flip his hips and get out on his toes when he's going to throw it deep and uses alot of arm, but that will take time. I'd also like to see him not always just throw it deep like he's doing and really hone in on the intermediate routes when he has to have it, but again, that will come.

In that NE game, there AT LEAST 7-10 passes that were right on the money and dropped.

If half of those are caught, you can go ahead and add another hundred yards MINIMUM to his yardage total...you can also add 2tds.

Should, indeed.

Well, look. I see its perfectly fine to make excuses for Geno.

you were talking about Smith.

funny how certain QB's get the benefit of the doubt when WR's drop passes

Sorry partner, for as much shit as you give for having on Chief glasses, it seems when it comes to Geno, well...you know.

He was bad against NE. He was off in terms of timing, ball placement, pocket presence, basically everything in terms of QB play. But thats ok, he's a rookie and he learned from it and grew as shown today.

Thats a good thing for him.

Real question:

Now that the fortunes of the team are hopefully turning for the best, have you thought about bringing back FDE?

The stadium would embrace it.

I suppose that Indy D is outstanding.

3 games this year.

Too much is made over QBs passing for 300+, etc.

Look at tonight's game.

Cutler 159

Ben 409

Do you think Cutler gives a shit that he threw for less than 200?

Smith vs. Smith

He is taking what they are giving.

Those passes were there for the taking. He saw the opportunities and pulled the trigger and delivered good passes that the receivers didn't need to adjust to and could catch in full stride.

When teams adjust their coverages to compensate, he will get it to the open man.

Alex Smith does a fantastic job of finding the open man, he just doesn't trust himself to make the kinds of throws Geno makes with ease.

Which 3?

He definately took shots down the field, which coming from a rookie is good to see. It's why the INTS, while troublesome, aren't killer yet.

I'm a little worried about his mid and short accuracy, it seems to be worse than it was in college, but his deep ball accuracy is much improved.

I understand just fine. we have a bunch of people here that were so butthurt that we didn't waste the 1.1 on Geno Smith that they are completely obsessed with him even though he does not play for our team. It is pretty simple. Then they come on here and crow about it when he does well (but disappear when he sucks). Sad and pathetic.

Meanwhile we are still 3-0.

You don't have to be able to throw 300 yards to win, but not that many QBs are going to pull off those deep passes Cutler did. He threw some beauties. That defense absolutely respected his ability to beat them deep and he still did it. That's what's more important. Not throwing for a ton of yard but making the defense fear that you can.

:spock:

If Andy Reid can somehow get Alex to trust his arm to make those throws, he will ascend to the group of elite quarterbacks and we will win a superbowl.

No question.

LMAO

This. The faster tempo of the NFL is ****ing him in this regard. He'll either adapt or he won't.

I'm here when he sucks too.
ROFL

LMAO

It's def a mental thing with smith. He's got the arm strength as we've seen.

I'd still like to have a big deep threat like josh Gordon to throw to

We are one good/great receiver and a deep threat QB away from being yearly, legit contenders.

Throwing it deep isn't the only way to win in the nfl. It has to be an option and something that's there, but it doesn't necessarily have to be an every series occurrence

That's not happening. He's been conditioned his entire career to not make mistakes or take risks. We're gonna have to win with short passes. Although I do think he has good enough arm strength to make deep throws.

As little as it seems, he does seem to be throwing it downfield and taking more chances as the season has worn on.

I mean really, the guy has made big plays with his arm and legs that have pretty much determined wins vs losses. It hasn't been consistent or necessarily pretty, but the guy does seem like he makes big plays when he has too.

That's the concerning part. We still need it to be a small facet of our offense and I honestly can't tell you how many times we've thrown it twenty plus yards so far this year. Very, very few times. The defense has to fear your ability to take a deep shot.

4 attempts over 20 yards in 3 games.

Terrible.

Yes, that needs to increase.

But iirc, he did make one that distance on third and long from his own endzone in the fourth quarter, so apparently he's getting a little more daring

And one of those was our tricky first play of the season, correct?

That's what opens things up in the better offenses.

If we had a quarterback that could keep the safeties in deep coverage, Jamaal Charles would have a record breaking, historic year.

Nope. 15-yard throw.

That and a line that could figure their shit out.

Yeah, no.

You need to research that again. Ball was spotted at the 5, he threw it from 4 yards in the endzone to the 20
