"Alex Smith makes your defense better"

Are we really still pretending Smith had something to do with the playoff loss? Get lives

You're giving credit to Alex for things the defense did, though.

The defense gifted us with 10 of those points.

This is why debating with you homers is frustrating. You want to assign far too much credit to the QB for team success.

Defense escaped from a blown block and threw the TD.

Dude, the defense set up a three-play drive for a TD.

I mean nice play by Alex and all, but, come on.

Come the **** on.

And you and your ilk want to assign too much credit for the teams losses.

FUUU*K, this is why the guy is so divisive... just trying to be fair about him equals some kind of traitor status with some of you.

Dudes the worst ever or you're an idiot homer, no in-betweens allowed... well **** you all... things arent usually that simple and I'm not going to kiss your ass for popularity sake.

Sorry, but that's the way it works when you're the QB.

You can't sit here and say Alex "balled out that game." He balled out for a half, period. After that it was fraidy-cat nonsense.

He balled out for a half. He played solid enough in the 2nd half especially given what he had.

The idea that he was playing fraidy-cat is complete nonsense.

Most games, I would agree that the QB is accountable. But I haven't seen a more clear-cut example of a QB's teammates literally playing the worst football of their career all in one game.

It's always special circumstances when Alex loses. The stars aligned against him just so! The poor bastard!

I've still yet to see solid proof that the back "pulled up" on the missed wheel route..

Can we trade Claynus for OTWP and get him to leave?

OTWP taught me everything I know.

Before I sat next to him at a Chiefs game I was a dirty, dirty Cassel lover.

[Discuss Thrower]

"All he does is win!" is the narrative from idiots like Sandy Cheeks et al...


... until it's X, Y or Z's fault. Then it's yet another instance of when the team around Smith let him down.

Alex Smith sucks, he should have scored 80 points in the playoffs with a team full of street free agents to prove otherwise.

We should not have any expectation that Alex and the offense should have been able to score points at, or near, the same pace in the 2nd half as they did in the first half, given the injuries.

We should also recognize that the running game provided next to nothing, which impacted the play calling.

But we should also have an expectation that Alex and Reid were aware of the game situationn and should have milked the clock for every available second.

That is where both failed this team.

I agree. I watched the second half last night and it's so frustrating watch them snap every ball before they even show the playclock on the screen, meaning there is more than 5 seconds left on each one. So many long developing pass plays called, too. Every play call in the 4th quarter pissed me off.
