Chiefs Alex Fodder

People on here seem to believe that smith needs to throw 20+ bombs every possession to even be considered a quarterback, when in fact he plays the position efficiently by what is given to him by the defense. Yes, throwing downfield is flashy and what not, but if it's not a for sure matchup win by the receiver, smith will not force the throw. And let's say he does force the throws and it gets picked, all of you would be quick to feather and tar Alex real quick, so in defense of Alex it's a catch 22

Take it from me, I've followed Alex since he was drafted from the 49ers and watched pretty much all of his games and this idea most on here seem to think of as truth is false: that Alex doesn't throw the deep ball. I've seen him throw a 50 yarder down the field to a receiver equivalent to Wilson during a torrential rainstorm Thursday night against the Seahawks in Seattle. Or when the game is on the line against the saints in that divisional playoff game to Vernon Davis. Most recently to Donnie Avery. My point is, yeah he doesn't take enough chances as we like, but the guy can throw and win you games when the game is on the line. How many qbs have the Chiefs had in recent memory can you trust and win you games? Alex is smart he won't take the gamble if the risk is not worth the reward. And can you honestly blame hi 100% last year for the offensive woes this team faced? But the future is bright with this team and honestly it reminds me of the 49ers team going into the 2011 season. And guess how far they made it that year, a fumble away from playing in the super bowl.
