Alex Smith end of season stats (what if?)
 

3,500 yards - 25 TD - 10 INT - 80 QBR - 56% Completion - and all 16 games started w/no injury

Is that performance worth the two 2nd round picks KC paid?

Also... would those numbers merit a contract extension and he then gets to groom his eventual replacement?

I would say it is, assuming the Chiefs make a serious investment at QB in the draft.

They have yet to do that. They may never do that. But yeah.

Those are pedestrian numbers at best. only about 300 more yards total than what he has ever thrown in a season, with a pitiful QBR, and completion percentage.

for it to be justified this season, the team has to make the playoffs, Alex needs to approach 4k the td int is fine, 95 qbr, and 65 percent completion percentage. That would make the trade worthy.

Depends on the team W/L i'd say.

Honestly, it depends.

Is there meaning behind those stats?

i.e., How many of those TDs game winners? Did they make a difference between winning and losing? Did a good percentage of those passing yards come from when the team was trailing and provide the difference between us winning and losing? I'd look for those kinda things before deciding whether or not he was worth the second round pick.

depends on if we win 8 games with those stats. Isn't that the number they based the 2nd round draft pick on?

EDIT

Yes, I would expect we would win at least 8 games if he has those stats. But, stranger things have happened.

We talking the new QBR or the old passer rating?

If the new QBR, 80 is pretty damn good. 56% completion percentage is abysmal but 25/10 would be pretty good.

56 percent completion percentage. probably means that Alex is still horrible on 3rd down. To get 3500 yards and only 56 percent completion percentage?

The chiefs are trailing a lot. Some how with that Alex Smith only throws 10 picks?

Cassel circa 2010.

**** that.

If we're purely looking at these stats,

what ThaVirus said ^

Im not sure it would be possible to have a qbr that high with the espn system with the completion percentage being so low.

Like, anything under 60 percent is considered really bad now days.

To put it in perspective. Brandon Weeden completed 57 percent of his passes last year.

That's what I was thinking..

Either way, I don't want to see Alex Smith garnering any kind of handcuffing extension.

Does anyone actually have any faith that we won't extend this guy?

If he doesn't play well, why would we? It's not like Reid extends guys who don't perform. Hell, he traded McNabb after he had a probowl season.
