Despite the Steelers controlling the clock because of our run D, I still believe Alex was the main reason we lost.

He's a huge reliability and risk at the most important position in today's NFL...

The Chiefs D did more than hold its own in that playoff game. By allowing all of 16 points and neutralizing Big Ben, no matter how many yards on the ground they allowed, they exceeded the expectations as far as I'm concerned.
Alex Smith was his usual conservative and clearly limited QB and that was the difference in the end.

The defense holding an elite offense out of the end zone and keeping the game in reach until the end was a fantastic job for what we had.
It is the QB's job to score points and carry the team when the game is close and the season is on the line.

Well that's fine but he is proving it in Training Camp by kicking ass and making plays. Tyler Bray not so much. So if Patrick is the backup there is a chance he plays. There is nothing in this post that is derailing the thread. It is on topic. Training Camp battles are underway and the biggest of them all is for the job of backing up Alex Smith.
