ChiefsPlanet - Chiefs Alex Smith did, does, and will always suck.

I didn't suggest otherwise. I wasn't the one that compared him to Cassel, Clay was.

I'm merely pointing out that Alex's deficiencies make for interesting message board banter but until the team loses, there are no "excuses" to be made.

"Cassel has us in first place!"

Well, at least the Eagles game was in the 4th quarter, even if they were up by a touchdown.... patting him on the back for a few scoring drives is a bit much though. I don't think anyone is arguing he's incapable of doing that.

This Sunday will show a lot of Alex Smith's ability. He's gonna have to open it up.

No wonder they scored more points, eh?

I'm sure Alex could get to Cassel's level of production with a better running game, though. I think he's capable of reaching that Cassel level. He has some similar skills.

Cassel was exposed as a fraud. It was a fluke he had his lowest Int% and highest TD% in the same season.

And yet Alex will never have a TD% that high. Ever.

Trent Green was 9-0 at one time, too. Yet he has no championships, no SB appearances; a good record is not indicative at all whether a Quarterback is a champion or not, it just means the team as a whole is functioning well.

Wrong.

Homers could not stop sucking off Cassel in 2010.

Alex Smith is far more of a hindrance than an asset. The fact that he's more talented than Cassel is far from praise.

I think the real reason the chiefs are 9-0 is because of the water boy. There's no arguing that. He's solid.

The difference between Smith and Cassel is simple. Alex Smith runs the offense where Matt Cassel had to have his hand held every play and be told what to do from the sideline. In his one good year in KC Weiss did an excellent job of making sure Matt didn't **** it up. But anytime they tried to let him just do it he shit the bed. Alex Smith does a great job of running the offense and playing within himself at the same time. Stats won't show the difference but the win loss column will. 9-0.

Running it like a ****ing 67 Ford Pinto that hasn't had an oil change in 10,000 miles.

Our offense is pathetic and people say this? :banghead:

Cassel was 10-44 on passes 21+

He threw 85 passes down 1-8
11 passes down 9-16

His QB rating plummeted in those times.

Clutch is mostly nonsense that is used in place of an argument with substance.

So I'm gonna say Smith is clutch. But Smith doesn't melt when times are tough. He stays within his game. With a quality team it tends to work out.

All times are GMT -6. The time now is 11:18 PM.
