Disagree.

If Alex Smith leads him too much on that pass, he gets destroyed.

Now, Alex does not make a ton of throws well, but the WHEEL, that is his bread and butter.

The throw was as important as the catch and run.

no doubt that Charles is our key piece on offense but Alex Smith hasn't fallen apart without elite talent surrounding him like he suggested.

2,800 passing, 380 rushing, 60% completion

all after playing martyball for 8/9 games to start the season


everyone wants an elite QB, but we could do a lot worse than Alex Smith while waiting to find ours.

We have not won anything yet except a bunch of games. Games that when our offense was still vanilla and out of sync. Games that were won by the defense against bad teams or teams lacking quality QB's, games won by a weak schedule.

Let's not anoint someone that has not produced a 300 yard passing game this season. Let's not anoint someone that is not called upon many times over to win us a game when the situation has not been called upon that often.

Alex has not warranted an extensions yet. He has played well in year # 1 when we do not have that elite talent around him, games we have won because of other circumstances.

Alex is what I knew he was, a good QB, not bad, not elite.

I agree with this. Not sure what kind of response you want me to give?

hmmm, more like 3100 yards. that wasn't including todays.

The season isn't over. Let's see how he does in the playoffs.

As much as I hate to agree...but this is correct.

We also haven't played a great pass defense either

Smith is gaining confidence. Reid is so good at getting good play from the position.

I wish we could have seen more of those HB screens earlier in the year.

That Mike Jordan. Shoots too much, always wanting the ball. :what:

goal post movement successful

We're 14 games into the season, are we still going week to week saying "well, X will be the true test"?

This is what I am saying. This years wins is not really by him alone. We have because of other reasons, not on the heels of Alex Smith.

At the same time, we have not lost games because of Alex Smith either, he's good, not bad and not elite. If we had to rely all the time on him to win games, I do not think we would win often enough to compete.

you give Alex and just about any QB the amount of time Trent had back there and they look pretty damn good. Just look at when the chiefs spent a few seasons giving QB's career days and starter jobs lol.

FYP

Still waiting...

See, that's a fair point the first 9 games of the season.

The last 5 though, alex has had a huge hand in keeping the Chiefs competitive against good teams, and he was instrumental today in capitalizing on Raiders mistakes, and turning turnovers into points. At one point, the Chiefs were up by only 4 points, and that's when a lot of people in the game day thread, were calling a 3 and out, and Alex executed.

If you cant say that Alex is a cause of victories these past two weeks, and a big reason they had a chance in the two Denver and San Diego games, im not sure that you are being very honest.

the chiefs have stopped no one really since the Cleveland game.

We also haven't played indoors all season, nor will we, until possibly the playoffs.

Maybe I'm wrong, but doesn't Tennessee have a very good secondary with two Pro Bowl caliber Corners?

Well the playoffs are the true test.

I've already answered your inquiry, if my answer wasn't acceptable to you I don't give a shit. I'm not going to keep answering your questions. You already said the past is over so who gives a shit. You were called out almost immediately by several posters for being a hypocrite, information that I wasn't even aware of. Again, F*** off.

right,Alex offers what is awful hard to come by in the NFL at QB and that's consistency. I love just having that at the QB position,if this defense can pull itself out the gutter we would be superbowl favorites. I think we saw what ALex could do when Andy finally took the chains off and started to air it out.

I have not said anything like this. I said he has not been called upon to win any games consistently.

He has done just what he has done all year, not lose them. Play calling and plays executing has more to do with the offense now than AS does. To me, Alex has done this pretty much all year, players were not executing to help him look better.

To be fair, our play calling as well as not executing was the biggest reason we sucked for 9 weeks.

No, you haven't. You haven't answered jack shit.

Geno Smith and the 2013 Draft is past history. And I am completely on record wanting the team to draft Geno Smith. Before they signed Alex Smith. That's not hypocritic. Not even close. Don't be so stupid.

However, you are continuing to bag on Smith. As I've stated, I want to know who you think will be better in either the 2014 Draft or Free Agency than what Smith offers this team.

But, like others, you can't come up with anything, can you?

But you and others continue to bag on Smith without offering up any alternatives. That's disingenuous and stupid.

Either state who you think we should draft or sign that will offer improvements over what Smith offers, or shut the **** up with the constant negativity and stupidity. That's easy enough, right?

Yeah well I guess don't hold your breath.

That is a cop out and literally the most generic response of everyone that eats crow but refuses to give credit where it is due. Thanks for restating it for the billionth time as if it was derived from your own keen insight. :clap:

fair enough

i misunderstood

His play has gotten MUCH better. I think he gives es us the best shot at winning over the next 3-5 seasons.

Eh...I really want to see Bray in there in a couple of seasons.

If Bray is on the roster next year that would be a huge accomplishment for him. Projecting him as starter out 3+ seasons after AS is asking the world.

Safe to say he gets an extention. Terms are the only question. I think that is still tbd. I don't think Alex will look to empty the coffers even if the chiefs win the super bowl. I expect a modest contact that puts him in the middle of the road for qbs to top 10 ish.

I was one of the first on the Alex Bad Ass Smith bandwagon-but yes he almost lost me a few times this year-mostly the Denver games.

He played perfect yesterday and probably set himself up for a top 5 qb contract if we win out and win at least one game in the Playoffs.

My only true reservation with Alex getting an extension is the amount.

Andy Reid gave Mike Vick a 100 million dollar contract.

Does anyone think Alex is gonna get less?

What if we win out the rest of the year and he helps bring home a Championship? Would you care if they gave him flacco money?

No one can doubt we are a playoff caliber team. We are a handful of bad plays/ penalties/ drop passes away from being undefeated.

Lets hope they keep it rolling!

I love when you get up in it.

This thread kneads a pole

Unless he wins a SuperBowl that better not happen. If he wins a Superbowl I could give 2 shits less.

We are most likely winning one playoff game tops. If that is the case the smart move is to see how 2014 pans out. I'm happy with how Alex has played, and believe the oline and receivers are more of a problem than him. I'm still not ready to hitch my wagon to him until we see more. There is just no reason to do it.

I'll take the bird in the hand. We know what kind of team we are with Alex Smith....a playoff team. He's still young....lock him up and work on improving the team around him. He's not going to ask for Flacco money. He understands its a team sport and a lot of other guys will need to be paid too in order for us to stay competitive. Alex Smith is not after the money. More than anything he wants to be part of a winning team.

Is this just a hunch? ROFL

He's not going to get a max contact. Why? Because it's nit a priority for alex Smith

The reverse side of this is we are a handful of bad plays/ penalties/ drop passes away from being 9-6 or 8-7 too.

We just are not where we need to be as a team with AS carrying the load of a 11-3 team.

Thanks for playing, you proved to us you were not born yesterday. It took several days, weeks, months for you to come to complete idiocy.

Let's see here, what has Alex done so well that you can say he was the cause for us winning?

He beat a team that was after his ass with a big time pass rush all game and the final minutes ? Uh, no. AS had plenty of time to throw and did what he was suppose to do, hit open receivers and not turn it over.

Did he run a lot to sustain drives ? NO, had a couple of good heads up plays here and there.

Win games when it was on the line ? NO, 2 blow out games by getting TO's, return game, etc.

Excellent job AS, you can propel the ST's and D to score TD's!

Just face it, AS is what we need him to be, a good QB, nothing elite and far from bad as many people perceived him to be over the past several years on a bad team.

Royc..... You nailed it. He is whatever the chiefs need him to be. What more can anyone ask of him? See room or Stafford if you don't understand my point.

He's helped keep us in every game this year. All the blowouts from the Pissoli era are in the rear view mirror.

How many times have QB's walked away from the team they lead, becuase they played out the contract they had?

Seriously, does anyone know?

I just don't see it happening. Let him play the damn contract out.
