We'd be killing a Chiefs QB that averaged 190 yds/game... whether it was Smith, a rookie, someone else...doesn't matter. Well maybe not killing, but not pimping him like Geno's getting praised in here.

Except he didn't only average 190/tds per game during that stretch.
He averaged 197.5 yards passing per game and added another 46.5 rushing (186 total).
244 yards per game while only turning it over twice in 4 weeks to close the year against teams thick in the playoff hunt that had good defenses (sans Oakland, of course) is impressive for a rookie. He was also 3-1 during that span.
