look, I can't believe that this website makes me look like an Alex Smith apologist. I am not. He is a flawed QB. Outside of about 5 guys, every single QB has flaws that can't be overlooked.
That said, when people tell me that Cutler and Stafford can at least make plays ... it just makes me cringe.
These guys turn the ball over 3 times more than Smith every year. In wins this year, Smith was an efficient QB who managed the gameplan pretty well.
When we fell behind in games, we really saw him struggle because he's limited, because our line was very limited, and because our receivers were limited. It was a trifecta of suck.
People want to bash Andy Reid. Fine. But his team won 9 games this year, with that line, with that QB, with those receivers all while playing 11 teams with winning records.
He won 9 games and that's with 2 losses against a 2-14 team and a 3-13 team.
I'd say the pessimism on this website for this regime is insane.
Every realistic fan knows our team can't make 5 mistakes and win a game because our QB isn't Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning or Tom Brady. You could say the same thing for about 25 NFL teams, not just the Chiefs.
That being said, with the talent we have, the coaching we have, and the assets we will gain in 2015 with all of those draft picks + another year of our new regime being able to put in the pieces they want ... there should be a hell of a lot more optimism.
But, unfortunately, the loudest voices on ChiefsPlanet are all going to make this entire offseason, once again, about Alex Smith.
Yaaaay
