Some of the people here seem to really hate seeing Alex Smith succeed, maybe because they don't want to be proven wrong, or because they just hate Smith that much. The "blow their brains out" was obviously (and intentionally) hyperbole, but I believe there are plenty of people here that wouldn't be happy. The more we win and the more successful we are the more angry they seem to get.

I'd love to be proven wrong, but my opinion is based on what I've seen since he got here. Remember, I was fine with bringing him in, but what I've seen makes me realize it's time to cut our losses and go on a very public search for an upgrade.

And what I fear more is that people think our wins come from him being good instead of despite him pretty-much being the anti-Brady. And I don't fear him succeeding, I'd love to see him turn around, but I fear one or two decent plays being billed as him being a great QB.

At best he was a great game manager, but this year has proven that he's not a lot of that anymore either.

Ol' Alex

Smith is far better than Cassel ever was. There is really no disputing that by anyone who had any objectivity at all.

I disagree with that too. When Reid has opened to offense up the last several weeks he has made some good long throws and looked good. It is not Smith taking the foot off the gas, it is Reid.

I think he is better than cassel

Reid and Dorsey have kept the team competitive which is fun

It sucks so many pro bowl invites went to KC because the NFL is rigged and that means we will be out of it by pro bowl ROFL

I think some of you guys would blow your brains out if Alex won a SB. :)

Nope not at all.

If the chiefs were 4-12 you would pump me up for better days.

Maybe he should yell "KILL KILL KILL" or "Omaha Omaha" like other QBs and option to a play 7-10 times a game. You know, that'll showcase the laser arm he has. He prolly should on every play in the 2nd half that's asking Ware to blow a hole open in the B gap. And for sure he should when Andy's rung up another bubble screen. And next time they fake the end-around, maybe he should actually do the end-around.

You know, take charge...

Dude, that was a LIFETIME ago. You DO realize that there's this thing called the "aging process", whereby we lose the ability to do certain things as we get older, and at the very least "lose a step"?

Completely illegitimate then, completely illegitimate now. And in any event, the game itself is now as meaningless as being asked to come and be a part of it. It's an in-house blow job with no "happy ending" for the fans.

False. I praise John Dorsey constantly.

You think Reid would be ok with that? And those fake end-arounds and the bubble screens may be to set up future match ups. You can't just take each play individually, there is a bigger picture. Chess, not checkers.

Who cares what Andy thinks? Nothing has been able to bench Alex, sans being concussed, so Andy can shove it up his ass.

The bolded part reminds me of this scene:

And I don't think they're setting-up anything, that's just an excuse for not ever actually running the play.

Let's hope Andy just read this and is angered into action and actually tries it.

Of course he is. All coaches do it to a certain extent. This isn't peewee football.

Yeah, they're going to turn it on now. Any week now, they'll get that offense clicking and we'll be rolling to that two seed. Just you watch.

But I'M the one not using my head. LMAO
