Lets not forget that Alex is only 6 months older than Flacco and been in the league 3 more years. Also a year younger than Weeden. He was one of the youngest players to ever step on an NFL field, had just turned 20. Omobye Akoye being 19. He has only thrown 8 more pics than Flacco.
Alex was on 3 of the worst team in recent memory. I challenge anyone to name the WR from the 05 06 07 season. You will not find a more depleated team. He never should have touched the field as a rookie where most of his turnovers came from. 11 pics and 12 lost fumbles. Chiefs fans are going to be very happy with Alex as time goes on. You will realize very quickly that he rarely turns the ball over, which lost you a ton of games last year. Int's lost fumbles, bonehead QB mistakes. Alex just doesnt make them, plain and simple. Alot of his bad play came between his rookie year and his injuries. Even before Harbaugh got there he was playing really well. He just had to deal with Singletary, who was maybe the worst head coach possible. I believe you will be quite surprised with Alex, he knows this offensive system well. Having played for Mike Mcarthy and Norv Turn. He is well versed. Give the Kid a chance, Ill argue that besides Peyton Manning, no QB is better at checking off and making decisions at the line of scrimmage than Alex. He is extremely smart and reads defenses as well as anyone. Everyone says Andy Reid, all he does is throw, but if Alex see's it; trust me he will check to a run if he has to. Good luck to all Chiefs fans, and good luck to Alex.
