But man, he nutted up and won them a game last night they should have lost. Maybe if he didn't play like ass for 3 quarters it wouldn't have mattered, but he did what he did. It's ok to give a guy credit.

That's not Alex Smith though. He's never going to have a game like that. Worst case scenario....he'll have one INT and he'll go into a shell for the entire game. His bad games don't look as bad as someone like Bortles.

Cassel would've quit on that game in the 3rd quarter and spent the rest of it playing exactly like Smith did; generally feckless. He'd have never had the juevos to step up late like Smith did to get them back.



What? You think that a team up by a single possession with 3 minutes on the clock was playing prevent? The Broncos were hardly sitting in a shell there. Now I will concede that their penalties helped the offense significantly but when the Broncos had an 8 point lead and Smith had 3 minutes plus the 2-minute warning to work with, they most assuredly weren't playing prevent. Nor were they playing prevent when he led the FG drive to tie it or when he made two critical throws to move them into FG range.

Smith spent 90% of that game playing like shit, but unlike his predecessor, he still found the sack to come back late and win it. And just writing off his play at the end as a product of a prevent is just absurd. He made some very difficult throws to keep the Chiefs alive down the stretch and deserves as much credit for those as he does criticism for the throws he didn't make earlier.

I mean shit, he just engineered a comeback on the road against a very good football team. He gets some credit for that.

I am just pointing out the hypocrisy that the entire basis of this thread was Alex Smith having a 99 QB rating in a LOSS to the crap Tampa Bay Bucs, he gets a pass. Then, in a win against Denver, his QB rating was a 79.9, still apparently gets a pass. It can't be both. If you call last night a good game by him and that he stepped up, then you are admitting that he blew the Bucs game, he doesn't get a pass for both games, which is what this thread is built on.
