We need to extend Alex Smith
 

Alex played the game of his life and he was BETRAYED by the defense

Alex Smith dropped 44 points on the Colts and somehow still lost. Alex is a hero. 44 points can win you a SUPERBOWL. What happened to the best defense in the league? They sure weren't out there tonight. You could cut all of them and it wouldn't matter. What matters is having Alex.

Not necessary, but if they do? fine by me. :)

As long as Bray made the backup.

Raw Raw Raw, Great Post!

Wait till next year, please!

at some point, yes. I think they have found their QB for the next 4 years.

This is a lame post, obviously made by a troll! No one could be so blindly devoted to a single player!

For the right price. I wouldn't give him more then 12-14mil/yr and be able to get out of in a few years. I'd still keep looking at qbs in the draft though as he isn't an elite qb,

I'm fine with extending him a reasonable contract if it means cutting Daniel and drafting a QB to go head to head with Bray until one is ready to take over.

He'll get his extension. I think he sewed it up yesterday.

Sure as hell played like one on a big stage last night with very average weapons.

If we don't sign him then someone else will

Could you imagine what kind of contract the browns would offer Alex?

You can wash his nuts all you want. He DID play his best HALF ever, but couldn't finish the deal. The "defense" can claim a whole hell of a lot of the blame, but missing a wide open Gray for a TD, the fumble, grounding call (he damn sure could have thrown it at Shermans feet), and then throwing the final ball to Bowe out of bounds can't completely absolve him of blame.

he didn't really miss gray. gray broke off his route like an idiot

Alex has shown he is an asset and not a liability but he is already making his worth. A raise is not in order but this team can win with him and other fixes.

Gray was wide the **** open.

He missed him.

and seriously, that throw to bowe was perfect. its bowe's job to make that play. be mad at him for letting a small corner nudge him further out of bounds. no sideline awareness.

bullshit

wide open on a timing route. do you not understand that concept?

Bowe had a huge 3-5 drop in 2nd half. Gray how many reps you think Alex got with him answer is none. On Grounding call as soon as Alex turned around the D was in his face nothing he could do.

Another way of saying he manages to not get in trouble.

Oddly, THAT is my issue with him. He's afraid to make mistakes and in doing that very rarely makes big plays.

HE DID throw his best deep ball (possibly) ever to Avery in the first half, but I can't recall another pass over 14 yards downfield that was on target.

ROFL

Before someone brings this up, I will say he's obviously better than Castle, but that's like saying a prostate exam is better than a colonoscopy.
I don't look forward to either one.

So you think he's a top 10 qb?

I would rather trade him to the Texans or the Browns, draft Bridgewater and roll for the next decade.

Dumbass please tell me how the Chiefs can get a top 10 QB. That's right you cant so just STFU

This.

Reading comprehension much? He said "elite"....He's sure as funck NOT an elite QB.

Stick to twitter

Id love that too.....BUT.

Alex Smith is an okay second option for now.

I think he has a chance to approach good/great with time with Andy and improvements on the offense.

That same poster thinks Dalton is better then Smith.

That I concur with....Okay, yes. Improvement from what we had, absolutely, but elite...not a fricking chance.

Gray slowed up as well....

And when you put up 44 points you can't cry because he overthrew someone 1 play

Why would any of those teams do that? Bridgewater is gonna be cheap for the next 4 to 5 years. Alex is gonna cost them 15 to 18m a year.

Who's crying?

I'm stating the obvious.

Ask Smith what he thinks of that pass and see what he says.

id love to see what level Alex Smith could reach if he had the talent around him that Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, constantly has around him before I ever put a cap on how good Alex Smith can be.

As big of a fan as I am, I try to keep my expectations in order.

I don't care what he thinks. And obviously several of you ARE crying or it wouldn't have been brought up.

Chiefs 2014: Puff, Puff, Pass-Hali, Houston, Smith

That's unfair. For all of Alex Smiths perceived faults. He has always deflected praise, and accepted blame. That's just who he is.

Of course he will tell you he should of made a better throw. He has NEVER thrown anyone under the bus. Nor, taken the credit for anything.

Remember his interview after the Eagles game?

How about you ask yourself this.

If that is Charles, is that a complete pass.

You're a god damn moron in desperate need of a bitch slapping.

Defense lost this game but where was Alex in the second half?

Gray didn't slow up Smith just missed him. Smith had 0 Reps with Gray all year.

Jump to 5:20 Alex just missed him.

I didn't bring up anything.

Glad you can follow a conversation.

Alex put up 31 first half points and 13 in the 2nd half that should win you games.

You mad? 4321

No I just think you're stupid. wait, I KNOW you are.

Playing without Charles, without avery, then lost Knile, and playing against a defense that completely stepped up its intensity.

There are two plays that really bite me.

The drop by bowe on 3rd and 5, and Alex Smiths fumble.

Without those two plays. I think the Chiefs win the game.

I'm not saying he didn't do a good job yesterday but when we needed him most he didn't come through. Granted the D shit the bed but you have to spread the blame around evenly.

Why are you waiting? You have 3 years of tape on him and how he's gotten better each and every year playing with Harbaugh and now Reid.

You wait and the price tag just goes up. It's not going down.

He should absolutely be extended this off-season and this franchise should make a 3-4 year commitment to him. He's earned that.

"I need to see how he does carrying a team", "If Jamaal goes down, no way can Alex Smith move this offense" "Come playoff time, he'll fold". These were just some statements I've heard/read over the last 3 months.

His play has been fantastic when this defense has shit the bed.

He's not just going to all of a sudden turn into a pumpkin when he gets paid. He's been paid a ton in his career.

Alex Smith would gladly accept all the blame for this loss.

And he isn't without blame.

I've watched that clip several times.....Gray made the mistake that many rookie receivers make....he was too busy looking back for too long, and HE DID slow down. Even worse was the fact that he could have laid out, like the good ones know to do, and try to catch it that way.

I don't get pointing this one solely on Smith....unless you have an agenda.

Didn't the Chiefs get the ball back via turnover after the Bowe 3rd down drop? Honest question.

I don't agree with any of this.

Bowe has to be aware of where he is on the sideline. That was a great throw.

There's a reason that QBs who throw for 350 and 4 TDs never have lost in the playoffs before. It's because the defense they play with actually made a stop when it mattered.

did I say he wouldn't take the blame? He is a stand up guy. I'm just saying lets not get carried away with the extention. You want to extend him fine but don't give him some ridiculous Cassel contract.

He is also not going to demand franchise qb money. He is all about the TEAM.

That also to me makes him worth keeping. He doesn't over value himself. He would rather have a 5 or 6 year deal, for less, than 3 years for more. He just wants a team to want him. Whats wrong with that?

No, no you don't. People sure weren't doing that when Alex was terrible the first 8 games and the defense was playing lights out and winning the game every week.

The reality is most of you people are miserable human beings looking for an excuse to bitch. Period.

Coming from someone with your track record, I take that to mean I'm doing something right. You're correct just about as often as the proverbial blind squirrel finds the nut.

Honestly? I do not remember. Im going to guess they did. It just stuck out as a play that could of run more time off the clock.

seriously. watch it again, gray was the one to blame

WTF? I'm not looking for a reason to bitch. I'm just pointing out that this was a team loss.

Don't need to look for an excuse to bitch when you are up 38-10 with 13 to go in the 3rd and lose.

The going out of bounds catch by bowel on 4th would have won the game too.

Uh no. Give him one more year and see how does.

He would never want that. And I don't think the Chiefs should.

But if they could lock him up for say 5 years 50 mil, that's an incredible deal.

He didn't drop it lol.

He caught it.

He earned the extension. Yesterday is easily one of the best single games that a Chiefs QB has ever played.

But, this doesn't mean that we shouldn't be grooming a player under Smith, something this organization has never done. There should be zero loyalty to Daniel or Bray, and the team should be exploring all options, including a player who might, strangely, drop in the draft.

And I don't want to hear any bullshit about needing to get "impact" from first-round picks immediately. See: Fisher. And this player still might end up being a damn good pick; he just had a tremendous learning curve in year one, compounded with, at least, isolated pussitis.

You also have to realize that Jay Cutler just signed a 100 million plus contract. The contract Cassel signed is probably an average contract for a mid-range QB now.

Save the hyperbole.

If you think this was a team loss, then you're exactly what TK said.

A miserable human being.

No sane, rational person would put any of this loss on the offense or Alex Smith. It's cherry picking bullshit that wants to paint everyone as the culprit when there was only one side of the ball that didn't hold up their bargain.

44 ****ing points playing without Charles and his 2nd WR and you want to tell me this was a team loss. **** off with the sports cliches.

That's what I like about Reid. He'll develop backups when he has the QB in place. Spot on Deez.

Alex Smith turned around a 2-14 team

What would it take for you to extend him? Multiple superbowls???

Realistically, they can't really afford to do that IMO. If he improves further he has you over the proverbial barrel. I don't like it, but he's going to be better than any other option AGAIN.

What a perfect post.

Whatever dude. Where the flying **** did I put the whole loss on Smith you dipshit. I said team loss. IT was. Get the **** over it. JFC

You go into this next off-season with Alex Smith primed to his the FA market and you're going to pay 3 million more per year.

You can't let him walk and he would have all the leverage.

5 years 90m I think Alex would take it.

Exactly this.

Good let him earn it. Let him play balls to wall and get the big deal.

This

Are you ****ing insane?

5 more years of Alex Smith, you stupid ****ers should be shot for even thinking that.
