Alex Smith: Chiefs' offensive strategy will look much different this year

Alex had to learn a new offense every single year he was in SF until Harbaugh got there and most of those coaching staffs got fired because they were total trash. That has a lot to do with it.

Look at his YPA in that second year under Harbaugh...8.1....pretty damn good. Especially when you factor in that he was completing 70% of his throws that year.

Not far off from last years 7.6...

Also notice that Alex's YPA has dramatically increased each year in KC....while his comp% has also gone up.

6.8 at 60% in 2013
7.2 at 64% in 2014
7.6 at 65% in 2015

And his receivers in 2016 will have more explosiveness and ability to get open than in any of those other years in KC.

Also factor in that the offensive line will be vastly improved, as well.

Now.

I understand that most here want to hate Alex because no matter what, he's always gonna be "another backup QB KC traded for" and that he will never be "our guy" in KC because of such, but the guy is gonna have another big jump in productivity and effectiveness in 2016 and some of you should probably try to....

You know....

Enjoy it.

I don't hate Alex never have never will.
YPA does not correlate with passes over 30 yards. This conversation started over the deep pass that starts at 30 yards. You are twisting some stats there.
