Colin Cowherd settles the QB debate
 
I want everyone to take 5 minutes to watch this video. Colin Cowherd is a pretty bright dude when it comes to sports, especially football. Here in this video today, he explains what separates guys like Tom Brady, Drew Brees, and Ben Roethlisberger from guys like Matt Ryan and Alex Smith specifically. As Chiefs fans, it hits every chord.

Colin Cowherd is a ****ing idiot because one time he said something I didn't like!!!!

Just kidding, of course. I like Cowherd a lot, which may be unpopular on here, but honestly, when it comes to sports talk guys, you can take ANY person and there will be people who curse them to hell.

There needs to be a line drawn. Yes, there are the Colin Cowherds that a bunch of people will hate.

But then there are the people like Skip Bayless, who's nothing more than a national version of Kevin Keitzmann. Stephen A Smith. Shannon Sharpe (for obvious reasons).

Colin Cowherd is about as good as it gets, really, in terms of sports guys who are paid to talk about their opinions.

Gotta have "it". No one know what "it" is, but when you have it, you are elite. In any profession.

He and PTI are the only things I watch on ESPN with regularity.

I'd have to say that's mostly spot on.

I'd put Ryan as a B+ and Smith as a B/B-.

However for this season I'd only list Brady as a B+ as well...

So dropped passes is part of being on script? Ok, he fails to mention that. Jones and Wilson make those catches and Falcons and Chiefs win.

There have been times where I thought Cowherd was way off things, but that's gonna be the case with everyone as SNR mentioned.

When I heard this today, it felt like he just perfectly illustrated our situation. We have people go back and forth for months and years about our QB, if he needs to be replaced, if he doesn't, blah blah blah..

It's nice to have the outside perspective that has no dog in the fight. He couldn't have explained it any better.

Mahomes has "it"

Always someone else's fault.

Bayless and Stephen A Smith TRY and find ways to interject politics into sports. I just can't stand it. It's always the main argument with them.

Cowherd at least has his own takes. Some days he's bold with the truth and other days he's so far off I turn the station...

Cowherd says some pretty "out there" things. He asks interesting questions. Some of them are stupid

But I appreciate that he asks them, and every now and then he brings up a really good point.

He certainly isn't always right, but he can atleast be entertaining

While I do agree with this...

I still agree with this.


This isn't some revelation. Alex Smith is a good, solid starting QB.

He's not a rare QB that can carry a team with minimal run support, critical dropped passes, and a defense that can't get much needed stops.

This is not news.

The problem has always been a pack of fans that look to a flawless QB savior... instead of looking at the areas of the team that are not doing their job.

run support... no? **** the QB!
defensive stops? no? **** the QB!
injured high-priced players not on the field to do the job expected? no? **** the QB!
dropped passes that would have led to conversions.. and likely points? no? **** the QB!


Thank Jeebus there will soon be a QB that everyone here adores... cuz then you can finally stop saying **** the QB! and actually blame the areas not doing their job.
