I might say Elway has a better eye for talent and demands production. Minimally they have a very small tolerance for not performing at a high level. I'd like to see a lot more of that. Much like New England, you do your job or your gone.

Out throwing game misses Green and/or Montana too... :D

Probably the biggest clutch play we've ever seen Smith make off the top of my head. NE last year in the playoffs is close.

You just described Simien as a "shit QB." Yet statistically, he is just as good if not better than Alex.

Funny how you inadvertently proved OTW's point immediately following his post. Lol

Where did i praise Smith? What seperates him is elite ball security. I believe I mentioned that, special teams, and ball security, but they don't count cause mumble mumble STATS and such. He definitely needs upgraded on. Weird post.

But but but...Did you SEE that umbrella coverage Big Cat was mumbling about ROFL ROFL

We'll see if Sunday night's comeback can get Smith back on track.

Really underappreciated play there, wow. 4th and 10. Best defense you can possibly face. In their house. Free blitzer coming and he just says go get it Tyreek.

That kid clearly has Alex's trust completely.

Prevent inside the 20 huh? I would have thought as long as you have been a member here you would have learned something by now. I suggest putting Tiger on iggy. Your football IQ will be better off for it.

Such an underrated play

I don't underrate the good plays he makes, he just doesn't make enough of them. 50 total offensive yards in the first half just ain't cutting it. It's not all on him, there is plenty of blame to go around, but he wasn't good.

I wonder what bitching tablet is doing right now. Something to the effect of Smith almost losing the game for us and how he should have put up 400 yards against the #1 pass defense. Am I right?

I actually didn't remember that defender right in his face when he threw that ball. Damn. Is that Von?

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.

The Broncos weren't in prevent, but they did loosen their coverage, and Smith, to his credit, took advantage of that and made them pay.

He came up big when the Chiefs had to have it.

yeah denver blitzed him and left 6 in coverage. 5 db's squatted right at the marker and a lb shadowed the RB. Hill and Conley both open on that play.
