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

Baldwin is such a big body and has 'decent' speed. I'd be great if Andy Reid could get him the ball somehow, along with some confidence. Getting missed when you are so wide open has got to be disheartening, especially when you are trying to prove yourself.

It illustrates perfectly what Alex can do -- putting the ball in the hands of his receiving backs to sustain drives, and what he can't do -- show willingness to throw into a window, to throw receivers open, to throw into coverage as needed.

I don't care if he went 49 for 50. The play stands on its own as a topic for discussion, when that topic is Alex's inability to see the open receiver, or unwillingness to throw the ball.

Alex is risk averse.

Here is a perfect example.

That is the difference between Alex and a guy like Eli Manning. Eli is in no way elite, but he is NOT risk averse. In clutch play, Eli still ATTACKS the defense. Often it ends in interceptions, but it also brought him 2 super bowl rings from the wild-card slot.

Kaepernick, your closing graph is exquisitely funny.

If loving Alex Smith is wrong, I don't want to be right.

He's not as bad as you think. He's good when he plays within himself and has a decent team around him. You just have to understand what Alex can and can't be. I think he will actually help you. He's better than what you had.

Come on "Kaepernick." Eli is not elite. LOL. He's clutch as hell, aggressive, accurate, better when you need him, won 2 Super Bowls. And his arm is stronger than given credit for. He's super elite.

First time we've seen that this year from Alex Smith. I'm guessing we see it... oh, at least 30 more times before the season is over.

We could have had Matt Barkley with our second or third round pick. He does look good so far with the Eagles and I'm impressed with what Chip Kelly is doing with that offense.

****ing bull shit not take a quarterback in the draft.

EJ Manuel is looking the part of a solid quarterback for the Bills but no we had to take Eric ****ing Fisher at RT. ****. :cuss:

I don't blame Alex Smith for ignoring that POS Baldwin. He would have ****ing dropped the ball.

Sorter can probably answer this correctly, but don't you always throw towards the blitz side? That's generally where your hot wr is, right?

In that play, it seems, the qb or Albert need to recognize the blitz and make the right read, Baldwin actually did
