You should start a thread about it.

I would give him a B-/C+ so far this year.

PROS:

He has made big plays with his feet
INT's are low and some not his fault
Will throw ball away rather than sack or INT

CONS:

Too many missed TD passes
Accuracy questionable
Not enough Bowe
Not enough deep balls

Fair assessment. Plenty of room for improvement, and spotty line play. Accuracy on longer throws is a concern, but is it possible that could get better with getting more familiar as a team and the offense as they play together?

People flew off the handle when Green got here because we had the same issues with a spotty line protection, and he had the same struggles keeping the offense on the field, hitting his receivers, and had a lot more turnovers. Alex got the ball to at least 7 and it might have been as many as 9 different guys yesterday- that shows tremendous ability to quickly survey the field and get the ball to the right place. He obviously has to get more consistent on some of his throws. But, for how ever many passes he has been off the mark with to our guys, how many drops do we have that he got the ball to his guy and they simply didn't make the catch. If the 2 missed throws being discussed yesterday are fair criticism, then the same degree of critical opinion should be talked about our guys dropping balls.

I'll have to look it up, but I'm sure we are easily in the bottom third for dropped balls, and it would not surprise me if we were in the top 5 of teams with most dropped balls.

The focus of negative attention seems skewed to what Alex does and doesn't do, but so much less outrage by the lines inconsistent play, or missed blocks - even by jamal this year, and dropped passes seem to be totally overlooked for some reason- and just off the top of my head I know Charles is either 5 or 6 in the league alone for most drops of all players in the league this season.

I am an Alex Smith nay-sayer, but I can definitely be won over. In fact, I WANT to be won over very badly (which may not be true for some other posters).

He hasn't done enough (individually) to win me over, though. I thought he was overrated by the national media when he was in San Fran and he hasn't changed my opinion thus far.

Didn't say that he had a perfect game, just said that he made improvement. Obviously we should have had a few TDs to replace some FGs. From the post-game interview Alex realizes that as well. He's not Manning, Brees, Rodgers etc. but he's playing closer to them then what he has been which was closer to Cassel territory.

I am of the camp the Alex is not the QB we needed. However the fact that he's playing closer to what he did with the 49ers than what he has played this year so far is a good sign. He's never going to be elite. If he can cut down those mistakes and continue to avoid turnovers then he can be effective. As much as I respect what Trent Green did when he was here, this team had way too many three and outs sandwiched in between the touchdowns. This team grinds it out. We get first downs that keeps our defense off the field even if we don't put the ball in the endzone and that helps us win.

That was my thought as well. Helping to win the time of possession battle helps your D quite a bit.

The Lamar Hunt trophy is handed out far too late in the season... it should be handed out at the end of October so the fans have a chance to see the trophy every few seasons.

They deserve it.

Not including week 8, as it's not over and hasn't been updated yet, we are 7th in the NFL for most passes dropped in the NFL.

If the Chiefs find a way to beat Denver week ten ...then....maybe then...people will stop the negativity.

....but probably not....I think some prefer the 2-14 season. They just want to bitch.

8-0 ....no other team can say that.

If they do no doubt. They don't play week 10.

8-0 is fleeting. Franchise QB's who can make that a yearly possibility, not so much.
