Chiefs We need to extend Alex Smith - Page 15

Alex played the game of his life and he was BETRAYED by the defense

Alex Smith dropped 44 points on the Colts and somehow still lost. Alex is a hero. 44 points can win you a SUPERBOWL. What happened to the best defense in the league? They sure weren't out there tonight. You could cut all of them and it wouldn't matter. What matters is having Alex.

Just look's like Gray slowed up around the 32 yard line.

Man he had Anthony Fasano wide open in the middle of field. You go to him not the 3rd RB.

Just a missed pass. Happens to the best of them.

I think everyone understands that if it is Charles, or Davis, that is a TD.

Shrugs.

Can't believe they missed the false start on Stephenson.

Extend Smith and lock up our playoff LOSSES for the next few years as soon as possible

FYP

Actually Grey admitted that he slowed down mid route but whatever. We didn't lose because of that play. We lost because the defense couldn't force a single punt with a 4 TD lead..

Or just make 1 of the 4 TD drives under 2 mins last 6 or 7 mins. Just play prevent defenses and make them nickel and dime themselves down the field.

Would it have made some of you feel better if the halves had been switched? Jesus Christ.

The guy put up 400 yards of offense and carried an offense to 44 points. Something I was told he absolutely couldn't do.

If you wanna extend the guy, do it now. If you wait, and he plays a full year next year like he did the last half of this year, you're gonna have to overpay

I'm not as sure as you are that his stats are going to look better next year than this past season. The NFC West games alone mean that Smith will play 3 better defenses than we faced all of this season.

Paying Alex Smith after this last playoff game against a Colts secondary on its last legs would certainly be an example of buying high. I would offer him a fair contract based on how he performed this previous season, but I don't see what the harm is in waiting another season. There is no bad scenario in waiting. If he plays like a superstar the Chiefs will win a lot of games and he will have earned whatever money we have to pay to keep him happy.

I think that play was designed to go to the RB. Of course it was designed for Charles...

If we run the ball our last 5 possessions and go 3 and out on each one, that kills about 2.30 each drive for a total of about 12 minutes. That leaves 2 minutes for each possession for them to score touchdowns with. Like you said, put em in prevent and make them nickel and dime you and they never have a chance at catching up.

We were up 28 with just under 20 minutes to go.

The defense was at fault (and by defense, I mean Dunta Robinson and Kendrick Lewis) for the loss, but playcallng and time management played a big role, too.

Hell, once it became clear the defense was a sieve, they should've had McCluster run around behind the LOS or run a hook and lateral type move just to burn as much clock as possible.

While he did flash some Rich Gannon like creativity and play making ability at times I'm still concerned about his down field accuracy. The one bomb was Avery beating a gimped up CB by more then 5 yards and he had to be taken out of the game because of injury.

Let's also not forget it was 1 game. Elvis Grbac once threw for 500 yards in 1 game. Kelly Holcomb once threw for 430 and 3 TD's in the playoffs against the Steelers defense.r

I'm still on the fence with him right now. I'd like to have seen a little bit more of that 1st half in the other 16 games this year. I guess all you can do is try to get better weapons and see what happens next year, but in no way to you lock yourself in to a long term deal here. Keep looking for that next superstar in the draft and if Alex takes the next step to top 10 type QB then you have a nice problem to have if you have 2 guys on the roster you can roll with. In an ideal world you'd like to have him play it out next year with a better supporting cast and see how it goes before giving him another contract, but I just don't think that's going to be an option.

If it was just this one game, I would agree with you here.

As I watched Smith under Harbaugh, I saw a mediocre, albeit efficient game manager, whose conservative approach could best described as playing scared.

He showed a flash of what he was capable of in that Saints playoff game, which I said at time might be the spark to him playing to his franchise potential.
But that was his only flash in those 2 years.

Through the first half of this season, I saw the same guy.
However, over the latter stages of this season, he flashed more.
There were 4 or 5 games after the bye where I, and others who shared my same opinion of Smith, said that this Smith is a QB we can win.

What we saw on Saturday, I believe, the evolution process of Smith from the scared, risk averse game manager to the confident passer with playmaking ability that Reid envisioned when they traded for him.

I just don't believe that Reid allows him to regress.
