If the offense puts up 14 points vs denver (while taking care of the ball) and 12 against Chicago we are 3-2.

Yeah...it has nothing to do with a QB who can't ****ing put points on the board because he routinely misses throws and shits down his leg when he has time.

We could be leading 6-3 and you would blame the defense if they gave up the winning TD.

Don't oversell it. Alex had a bad game, but there were still at least 5 perfect 3rd down throws for first down that were flat out dropped, and Maclin's bobble on the last play in FG range was Bowe-esque.

I can understand wanting a better QB. But this fanbase seems insistent of somehow getting a QB so good the rest of the team doesn't even have to show up, nor the fans, nor the coaches. Just throw super-QB out there and every game is a blowout, never in doubt, win.

And that falls squarely on the shoulders of Reid and Smith...

FG range? That catch would've made it like a 60 yard FG instead of 66 lol.

Probably time for KC to give up the 3-4 too...

If we draft a 1st round QB next year, I have to wonder if it wouldn't be better to just have a fire sale right now. By the time that QB can develop into a good QB (if he ever does) most of our core guys now will be pushing 30 years old. That being said though that's very risky for a GM to do.

What do you do with Houston? Put his hand in the dirt? SLB?

I think you stick with the 3-4. You re-sign Howard and put him at NT. Poe is moved to DE opposite Bailey. Ford and Houston are your OLBs. Wilson is one ILB and hopefully they found a gem in March.

For ****'s sake. You can't be this stupid.

The Chiefs have MANY problems to fix.

Close to the top of that list in terms of priority is the QB.

QB has to get fixed REGARDLESS of how many other ****ing problems there are.

I just think the 3-4 is too hard to staff with any sort of depth. There's only one OLB capable of rushing the passer in Houston when you need three. None of the ILBs are worth a snot either.

You're severely misreading your supposed allies.

There's a shitload of difference between 'a lot of things need to be fixed, and the QB is one of them' and 'nothing else matters if Alex is QB'

I agree - even with point # 3 to a point. Or rather I agreed with point # 3 more last season. However, its clear that Smith has regressed in the situation he's in now and can't be fixed. So, he now becomes a major problem (maybe not the biggest one) - perhaps the easiest major one to resolve, and it needs to be done before moving forward. Hope the "brain trust" has learned something and drafts a young QB EARLY, assembles a real NFL OL, and goes in a different defensive direction this off season.

Are you also concerned with Dix?

The sad, sad truth.
