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

Give this guy some gold... Wait, is this Reddit?
Alex Smith sucks. But other QBs suck far worse. We all want our own Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers. We've been ****ed and raped out of having a solid consistent QB for decades, so that leaves a sour taste in our mouth. But our QB situation is not near as bad as others. And ****ing Cutler? Are you guys being seriously right now? If I can't have a qb that can bomb the ball down the field effectively, I'm not willing to trade that for a guy that can bomb the ball down the field ineffectively. That's just ****ing reerun talk right there.
Alex Smith isn't great. But our number 1 concern should be the O-line and our receivers. Anybody who thinks putting a a great QB in our system, without a line to block, or receivers to catch, is a moron.
