well, that's a valid point, but you don't make it in college just being a nice guy, let alone the NFL.

AS had Mike Nolan his first 3 seasons & then Singletary the next three. I believe this had more to do with your perception of AS than his nice smile. Those two coaches were among the worst offensive minds I have ever seen at the NFL level.

This opens up the downfield pass, and you obviously need someone to be able to run it, but it isn't the focus of the offense.

It's why you'll see multi-back, multi-tight end sets, fullbacks splitting wide and a whole shit ton of Dwayne Bowe.

I think it's going to be pretty cool.

Some of the top QBs to have played the game, including Bartt Starr and Troy Aikman, and Lenny Dawson were game managers.

Those guys, however, were franchise QBs.

Alex Smith is just mediocre, albeit efficient.

Absofreakinglutely. Andy loves him some big recievers, and with our TEs, and Bowe, I think even Baldwin can flourish in this offense. People talk about him being just being a TE and I can see him being almost a hybrid TE/WR type guy in this offense. I think it will be all about YACs in this O.

How would you define a successful season for the Chiefs in terms of overall record?

No, I was making fun of you, mainly, for being a guy that comes to a football message board and rarely, if ever, talks football.

Instead, just bitches.

But to each his own I guess.

I have no idea why I would think a guy who's ran a system for 10 plus years would come in and implement a similar system. I'm crazy I guess.

I wouldn't throw stones there pal, considering who you wanted this offseason.

So with as much hype as the moves this offseason have received, I have to say I'd be pretty disappointed with an 8-win effort. They face a weak schedule in a weak division. There's no reason they shouldn't at least be in the hunt for a wild card.

lol, your simpleness, amuses me.

NO. Davis was constantly double teamed last year. But, yes, even though with Alex Smith, Vernon Davis caught 5 tds, with Kaepernick. ONE!!!!!

All qbs take hits. How many times after a throw have you seen qbs get pushed down. This is irrelevant.

Off the top of your head, who was the second rounder drafted this year at 34, and who made the pick? Once the pick is made, its no longer valuable.


This is a good call. Also, people who question Alexs huddle demeanor. Lets forget about the Saints game. Although, alex smith had to do that twice, AND DID. Lets talk about the philly game that year on the road. Lets talk about the Detroit game on the road. Alex Smith played like ABSOLUTE crap for the majority of that game. But, in crunch time, he drove the team down and then threw the game winning td, on 4th down to win it. Im not sure where people get this Alex Smith doesn't have a huddle presence, and it seems like im propping Alex Smith up, and Im not. Hes not Aaron Rodgers, hes not Drew Brees, or Tom Brady, but when the game is on the line, he is pretty damn clutch. And he was in the NFCCG, only those who have forgotten what he did in that game, and are box score whores, forget.

Trent Green had the most dominant running game in football too.

He still managed to throw for 4K.

You're defending Alex Smith in a game that was literally won by his defense.

The final score was 13-8, 49ers.

That game is a PERFECT example of what happens to your Alex Smith led offense when the running game goes tits up.

You are brain dead, son.
