LNBS: Can Alex Smith be "Fixed"?
Part of me wants to think so.

We saw flashes in 2013 of him testing defenses downfield and being a lot more than a game manager.

Then his OL got severely downgraded through 3 big losses in free agency (all 3 got overpaid) and his 2 guards weren't even nfl quality, let alone starter quality.

His receivers needed a major upgrade last offseason (they were an obvious team weakness) and other than adding Jason Avant late in the year and developing a promising rookie in Albert Wilson...not a whole lot was done to help provide Alex Smith with adequate weapons. Losing Avery to injury further weakened an already subpar unit.

Here's my question:

If they improve the OL and receivers...will we see Alex Smith come out of his shell again (like we saw flashes of in the second half of 2013)?

If he does, how far can this team go if the defense plays like it has and Dee Ford steps into Hali's shoes adequately?

Feel free to show us all the franchise QB's available the last 2 years.

Carr and Bridgewater are viable options, but let's not act like they are great yet. I wanted Carr but even now there's very little evidence showing they will be great.

Even just being what they are right now would be a cheap er option, getting likely a similar result

I don't want a first rd QB with "similar results" to Alex Smith. If we draft a first rd QB I want said QB to be a 30 TD 4k caliber player

Better get a new HC or a real OC. Your not going to achieve that passing sideline to sideline.

That offense got him 5 NFCCG's and a SB appearance. I would take that.

Then your expectations are all ****ed up and you should prepare to be disappointed.

The idea behind drafting a 1st round guy is that he could become that 4k 30 TD guy. Not even Andrew Luck or Russell Wilson met those standards their first or even second seasons.

Luck just did that this year and Tannehill appears to be that caliber as well.

The point is not the past, but the present.

Here, this day, you have boldly stood up in your Zubaz and proclaimed, "I FULLY ENDORSE THE LIL' CHIEFY TEAM-BUILDING METHOD, AND HAVE LEARNED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN MY TIME AS A FAN OF CHIEFS FOOTBALL. JUST GET ME SOME O-LINE AND WE'LL MAKE THIS HINDENBURG LAND, I SWEAR IT".

Etc.

Anyone with any football knowledge at all knows we need OL help. If you think a "franchise QB" will win us anything with this OL you know nothing about football. It all starts in the trenches.

I thought there was "more than one way to win a Super Bowl."

Go ahead and live in your ignorance. It doesn't matter if we draft the next Andrew Luck (not that there is one available), with this OL he will never be a franchise QB. An OL like this ends careers for young QBs.
