Goes to show that QB matters. Thomas and Sanders have become ghosts.

Semenboy is an abomination. What is awesome is just how worse Lynch is than him ROFL

The best throw Semien seems to have is the bomb down the sideline to these guys. That's where he usually puts the ball in a position for them to help him out. Game could have been different if Sanders holds on to that pass. I think if you keep Semien from hurting you on those throws, you will keep him in check.

Holy shit. LMAO

What does posting Smith's career stats have to do with a thread about various stats for the team this year?

I'm looking at those numbers like the RCA dog looking into the Victrola. Are those seriously true? What changed?

It shows that late Alex is better than early Alex. Not sure what comparing Alex to Alex is meant to do. Maybe just be interesting.

Coaching.

Imagine if Aaron Rodgers had been chosen #1 overall and had 50 different offensive coordinators and head coaches, along with an untalented team and had been forced to start immediately, instead of sitting under Favre and Mac for three years.

That shoulder injury that Nolan forced him to play through robbed him of arm strength, too. If I was Alex Smith, I'd send a bag if shit to Mike Nolan's house every year for Christmas.

But hey, that's just me.

Basically, this. People will make their own conclusions on the numbers. To me, it shows that when you put decent personnel and coaching around Smith, he's pretty good.

The relevance, since someone asked, could be found in those last 3+ years.. since he is the Chiefs' QB and all.. and the last set of numbers is far more indicative of the current QB he is VS the first set of numbers.

Posts like the one I initially made of the numbers.. IS why I :facepalm: when people want to focus on career stats. Helps their argument, in a sense, but it's badly flawed when talking about the QB he is.. today.

It can be hard to judge numbers like that when I don't have perspective. I can see how Smith is better than young Smith, I can't see how he relates to his peers. I personally wouldn't have guessed there would be such a stark difference. I figure, looking at the stats you posted, that he will hold up on %, INT, and rating but be behind on the others.

Heres one that really caught my eye the other day...

CHIEFS ARE NUMBER 1 BABY YEEEAH WOOOO!

I wonder how she's aged... [emoji848]
