Chiefs "Alex Smith makes your defense better"

There's merit to this.

And if Alex had thrown more than 20 TD's in more than one season, it would be really important.

Look... some RB's fumble more than others. Some guys (like Charles) are a bit loose. Would you trade him on the merit of a guy who could fumble a few less times? No. Unless you were a fundamentally reeruned mother****er. Charles gets into the endzone.

Turnovers are bad. Scoring touchdowns is good. These things work in opposition to each other.

Looking at only ONE side of this is stupid as ****. The guy struggles to crack 20 TD's in the most prolific passing era the sport has ever seen. That acts as an ENORMOUS counterweight to the 'he helps the defense' argument.

And he still doesn't demonstrate a tendency to get shit done when the game is on the line.
