Your quarterback might be a game manager if... the phrase "it's about Ws and Ls, not stats" is consistently used to defend him.
I keep seeing people say that. I find it kind of amusing.
Focus on Alex Smith's ability to win games throwing for big passing yards is not about fantasy football (for me). It's not about wanting to see a Chiefs QB throw for 4000 yards or anything or even throw 35 TD passes (for me).
It's about what has to surround a QB who doesn't throw for big passing yards to 1) make the playoffs; 2) win playoff games; 3) win it all. The supporting cast must be great. You have to have no flaws outside the QB spot, and some serious strengths. Your odds are much worse than with a QB who can put up huge passing numbers when needed.
I HOPE Smith ends up showing that ability. It would be good for my team. His history just means I'll need to see it to believe it.
If he doesn't show that ability, hopefully he's just a stop-gap and they move on after next year.
