Football Adam Gase: The NFL is a dink-and-dunk league

chiefzilla1501 · 08-13-2016, 02:11 AM

Bradyis a dink and dunker. But let's not pretend his game is even remotely similar to smith's. Brady does it through lightning fast reads, not check downs. He stretches the field horizontally whereas alex relies on the middle. And he's outstanding on third downs where Alex Smith is inconsistent. I like Alex smith's game end of last year where he opened the game up. He must throw downfield not every play, but enough to loosen up the D. Even if the game is dink and dunk, most Ds don't cheat in the box on other qbs the way they do Alex.

You also can't compare a guy who has had edelman, moss, Gronk with a guy who was stuck throwing to bowe, Hemingway, fasano, and Kyle Williams

Old news. WRs changed and Alex didn't.

Apparently NFL Network ranks in the top 100 players in the league after last year's performance. Maclin loves Smith. Tamba says he's highly underrated.

But yea you must be right about him...

While I don't agree with Claythan's point of view, whenever someone brings this argument to the table, I just have to point out that Tony Gonzalez kinda loved Tyler Thigpen.

Between Green and Smith, Thiggy was the top of the mountain.

And how does this discredit the fact that Smith and Maclin connected on 70% of their attempts?

It doesn't discredit the connection between Maclin and Smith.

It does bring into question the opinions offered up by players.

Um, yes I can. Brady made the afc championships throwing to recheck Caldwell and Jabar Gaffney. And he played behind an ol that gave up 50+ sacks to cassel. Claiming Brady has been gifted with a great supporting cast is incredibly false

No, you can't.

Ban. Him.

This a general football discussion thread, not a dedicated KC Chiefs thread where licking of the boot is protected, safe zone speech.

Ban yourself, Black Bob.

It's the continuation of shitting in every thread. He needs to go more perma-banned than before.

This doesn't happen.

How many threads have I even posted in today? Two? Three?

Get a clue.

Are you really this dense that you think Reche Caldwell, Ben Watson, and Jabar Gaffney in any way shape or form is a better trio than Maclin, Kelce, Wilson? I seem to recall that David Givens, Deion Branch, and David Patten were complete garbage after they left NE.

Claiming Brady's been surrounded by weapons to prop up Alex Smith is complete and utter nonsense.
