When Cassel started to regress, some of us on here saw it and called him out. He was good enough to put up some noticeable stats for a few games stretch, but he was never going to be good enough to get us close to a championship.
A ton of other homers around here kept drinking the Cassel kool-aid with excuses like "we need a HOF oline, we need a great defense, we need more receivers".
Alex Smith is in a regression. The NFL has him figured out. Some of us on CP have figured him out. He is not getting any younger or better. His confidence is shot and you can see the offense has no desire to compete at a high level.
Nothing you can do is going to make him better.
So... Does Alex Smith make as many Mistakes as Cassel on the field? No.
But is this scenario the same? Yes.
Either QB is not good enough to do any more than win a few games and keep the season ticket holders buying tickets.
The Chiefs are once again stuck in mediocrity.
Meanwhile, the Cowboys are letting a rookie QB tear it up and letting their golden boy sit the bench. I wish our franchise had those balls.
