Chiefs We need to extend Alex Smith - Page 20

Alex Smith 4Ever · 01-05-2014, 02:42 PM

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.

Oh don't get me wrong, I think Romo, Cutler and Flacco deals are BS.

It put teams in such a hole to have one player eat up so much cap room.

There is no point in debating this any more, really. We all see things a little differently and I can't bring myself to heap any more praise on Alex Smith than I already have. He gave it his all, busted his ass.

What I saw was Alex Smith erring to the safe side on that pass, pretty much like he has had a tendency to do on that play all season. It is better to be un-catchable than intercepted, it comes natural for him! He didn't need to throw it that far towards the OB, but see it how you wish.

Well here is Reid on the play

“Dwayne Bowe is one of the best slant runners in the National Football League,” Reid said. “He also is a great fade-ball catcher, (a) back-shoulder, fade-ball catcher. Dwayne’s big and strong. He’s playing fast, but he’s not the fastest receiver.

“Well, he beat this kid clean off the ball, and this kid’s got some speed. And I’m not sure he realized how clean he actually beat him off the ball. So normally, what he’d do is, he’d climb back on top. You go out to practice and see you see those red lines we have drawn on the field? You kind of go back and capture that red line. The red line sits four to five yards off the sideline, and you want to get right back on top that son of a gun if you beat somebody that fast. If not, you just fade it and the quarterback dots you on the back shoulder.

“He didn’t realize quite how clean he got that thing, and he bowed it out just a little bit towards the sideline. And he still had an opportunity — it was close. Half his foot was in, half was out. So if he had to do it all over again, he’d probably get over the top.”

Think I'll wait and see on the contract before going off the deep end , I think it will be less.

CJ5363 · 01-08-2014, 04:25 PM

It depends how much.

Schaub got around 4-62, so 4 years, 70 million makes sense.

If Cutler gets 18 million a year, and 54-56 guaranteed, who knows what Alex may get.

Bowe ran that route too close to the sideline.
Smith threw a perfect ball.

Even too close, Bowe nonchalantly took that step, rather than going limp and dragging that foot.

Bowe simply was not aware of where he was at.

Good story. I know what I saw, and have re-watched it a couple of times.
Is Andy going to throw his QB under the bus, especially after the game he had? Nope, it is what is .
Both of those critical sideline passes were missed and they had one player in common.
Bottom line, AS played a hell of a game, had great numbers, but the only time his team didn't have the lead, he didn't get it done.

Alex Smith threw 27 TD and 7 INT this year.

If he can do that consistently for the team and increase his yardage production ala the playoff game, he's worth 17.5 mil a year.

And before you whine, that's cheaper than Matt Ryan's contract.

That is true, he could have saved it.

Oh so This.

He had know idea where he was. I said it as soon as I was the play, I hated that call in that situation. Great play, wrong time.

And that's the million dollar question - can he do it consistently? So far, he's only shown it in spurts.

Someone else we know threw for 27/7 once.

Personally, as long as his deal doesn't restrict us from legitimately filling holes, or doesn't marry us to him for more than 2-3 years - I don't care what they give him.

Kind of remind you of 2010? How did they do against the good teams? The NFC East this year was the NFC W in 2010.

Except not even as good. 2010 NFC West beat the Saints in the playoffs, the NFC East this year couldn't even manage that.

2010 Chiefs had the number 1 rushing team.
