"Alex Smith makes your defense better"

This guy is elite and that guy was a generational prospect and the other guy threw for more yards, more TDs, and higher completion percentage in his third year than Alex ever had in 10 years while being surrounded by unquestionably inferior talent and yet they're "much the same".

Actually, this was my discussion (happy to share though).. and I later allowed elite QBs in, because frankly.. they were the only few (still debatable if any) that could fit into the crap OL and WR parameters.

The point is.. throughout history, it seems rare (if ever) for even good/great QBs to function at a high level when they have trash at both OL and WR. Yet people expect that Alex Smith should be one of those QBs?

Instead of being pissed that he can't work magic with trash... how bout be angry that the Chiefs are struggling to field even a mediocre group of OL and WRs.

Now, I expect these position groups to be better now.. at least at WR. OL... no idea.

You ask for QBs that have performed well under certain circumstances, I give you names and you say those QBs are good so they don't count.

You want me to name people that suck to help prop up your argument.

Actually, I was more interested in seeing if people could name anyone that might make me reconsider.

... and I am looking for QBs that performed very well under those circumstances. Not QBs that had similar Alex-Smith like numbers.

The idea here is.. if Alex.. with a crap OL and WRs... can perform to the level he has in the last 2 years...

Surely, there must be QBs that... with a crap OL and WRs... has performed at a higher level.

.. but I am not getting much help in the way of naming those QBs, which years, and the personnel that they had.
