How Much Success Will Alex Smith Have as Chiefs QB?
 

Poll forthcoming.

None.

2nd

Post captures the spirit of the "Smith defense" thread.

At the very best he'll post numbers similar to Cassel's 2010 season. I doubt we ever win more than 10 or 11 games with him, and I doubt we ever win any playoff game past the wild card round (and I'd be surprised if we didn't get curbed-stomped there, too).

Now that I know the parameters I voted divisional loss with wild card win. Although I'd almost rather vote wild card loss.

And I should make the caveat that I don't think the team will actually do that, that's just the best possible outcome I ever see. I think never breaking .500 is about as likely.

he sucks balls and now im not glad this season but now have destroyed feelings.

His favorite flavor of Popsicle is dick.

How can you go wrong voting for a Super Bowl win?

You'd be wrong and stupid when he fails and the team would not have achieved the success you desired.

He'll get this team to the playoffs, and no further.

We're expecting a lot out of a guy who rode the coattails of the #2 defense in his only pro success.

He will not fail. He has a history of being a winner.

And his physical skills are about to start going downhill.

If he can't run he's going to be even less effective.

Never above .500

**** you Dorsey and Reid.

Here's the next four years:

Smith gets the team to 7-9 next year, fans line up behind him en masse.

The team stays 7-9-10-6 for the next three years, fans chase the final piece thinking we're just a CB/G/RT/whatever away. Any attempt to disparage Smith is met with harsh rebuke.

Barbecue smoke fills the air and nary a **** is given about the long term prospects.

He'll struggle this year.

Then he'll put it all together for a playoff loss the next year.

Then he'll struggle some and get boo'd the next year.

Then he'll get injured and replaced, as Reid/Dorsey get fired.

Whomever replaces them will then trade for the league's top backup.

Rinse repeat.
