I believe that the Chiefs can win a lot of games with Smith at QB is a syatem adapted to fit his strengths.
However, if the system isn't adjusted, this could easily be a 5 win team, at best, if Smith is asked to do the things he isn't capable of doing.
But at the end of the day, I don't believe there's any way that Alex Smith can lead a team to a SB with his limitations.
And when it's all said and done, I am too ****ing old to care about winning a lot of games if none of it leads to winning a SB.

See right there- you stated your opinion- clear and concise. Backed it up with facts to support your opinion. This is why people respect your thoughts on football. All the name calling is beneath you- but if thats what you think you need to do.
I was a season ticket holder for the DT years- when we had the Best D in football- but could not get a first down to save our life. And all through the Trent and Priest years when it was just the opposite. I sat out there in heat one game and then the next week with a sunburn and practically got flooded down the stairs-lol So I am a "True fan" which is now considered a bad thing. I have been to more games than years most on here have been alive-lol Its great to run your mouth as an expert- but if you were not at the Ghost town arrowhead of the 70's and 80's you cant appreciate how fun it was in those two periods for the chiefs fans.
I want the same thing as you- a SB win- or for gods sake a playoff win would be a start. But for next year an Improvement of the miserable year last year- would be....
1. Alex not turning the ball over and at least putting this team in a position to be competitive in every game. It will take the whole team to win- I agree that he has not shown to be a "franchise' type to put the whole team on his back.
2. Not geting our asses handed to us by the faiders at home for the how many times in a row- truly pathetic- and yes I was at the home openers we lost with fader fans dressed like darth vader screaming in my ear.
3. Not getting blown out in our Home Opener. If you cant come out and have some fire the first game- forget it. The Bills blowout was the worst game I have Ever attended. **** the Bills.
4. Arrowhead coming back to what it used to be. Fun, Loud, a tough place to play for the other team. Hell rookie QB's were winless there for years. Bring back the Leaf Factor. Yes I was at that game when the chiefs put him into retirement and onto a life of crime.
5. A hard hitting, tough team, that nobody wants to play. The DT years teams dreaded playing us- ask the Bills on Monday night- still one of the greatest games I was ever at. We embarrassed them. Ask Steve Young who DT hit so hard he was puking on the field. I want to see some smart hard hitting football.
If we do these five things- we have a chance at the division and then a playoff win ect. Something to build on for the future.
So call me a halfwit and stoopid muther whatever. But I have been there for this team thick and thin since I was a kid- and i hope to hell we are back on track to being respectable again.
