"Alex Smith makes your defense better"
Article from Arrowhead Pride. Talks of the apparent positive effects of Smith's game on the defense.
This won't change any minds... Smith-baters have been saying this for a while now, but at least someone put it on paper and put some numbers to it for discussion. Have at it everyone... http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2015/6...defense-better |

A huge sign that says "Home of the HiddenTouchdown" needs to be erected over Arrowhead.

What I think is hilarious, is the very first point the writer made to support his argument is one that isn't even remotely true. He tried to argue that the 2012 49ers were a perfect example of this, as their D gave up more points when Kaepernick started than Smith did.
I looked up the stats. Smith threw 5 interceptions in the first 8 games. Kaepernick threw 3. LMFAO. This article and point of view is a joke....especially when you have a top tier defense (which we do). |

If you're going to give hidden points, you should also take away hidden points, which are the byproduct of inaccuracy, poor decision making, overly cautious play, et al.
Also, what's better: 3 TDs, 3 INTs or 0 TDs, 0INTs Answer: 3TDs, 3INTs. An INT isn't -7 points in reality. A touchdown is +7 or 8 points, in reality. |

You should check out my invisible private jet and three translucent Victoria Secret girl friends. I'd post a pic but, well, ya know.

Given the choice though, I'd rather have a guy who leans a little more gunslinger.

This guy is reaching for the stars, I try to lean positive in most situations but this is too much.
Smith is a steady, reliable vet who's played in some big games on some good teams... he will rarely kill your chances for a win with a terrible mistake, and he will also rarely win a game for you with gunslinging heroics. At his very, very best he's a fringe top 10 player... we could definitely do worse, and most teams do. But there are no magical secret squirrel points outside of touchdowns. Its AP, people here like to sling "true fan" at people like me and others ![]() Charles Smith Houston Other Charles won, which sure, thats fine and I get it but voted differently... but a way too close second was Smith followed in a distant third by Houston. This year, next year, the year after that... the guy we HAVE to keep is Houston, he's just that good. |

When you suck at offense long drives that don't score many points isn't a good thing.

No shit Sherlock. What does long drives that don't score points have to do with avg points scored per drive except to make it worse? Which doesn't fit your narrative. |

We don't have a lot of drives because they're all such long-ass drawn out field goaly affairs. It's a bullshit stat. The Chiefs need to score more points.

Scoring pts, moving the football, and owning the TOP help a defense...

You are still better off scoring more per drive. |

No, they aren't. We can win games with long-ass drawn out drives. In those grinding games, we've won a lot of them. The problem is when Alex Smith struggles to extend drives. For a guy who gets so much credit for being a game manager, he has way too many games where the defense bails him out and then it's passed off as game management.
