Alex Smith is a solid QB, sorry haters. Bucs win 5th game in a row.
Despite the common thought here that Alex Smith held down the team Sunday, Smith's overall production to the team yesterday graded out very positive in 3 rankings:
Smith: QBR 94.1, QB rating 99, PFF 71.9 Winston: QBR 83.6, QB rating 97, PFF 50.7 ![]() https://www.profootballfocus.com/pro...-for-bucs-win/ "Smith gained positive expected points (EPA) on 77 percent of his plays on Sunday, the second-highest rate for a QB in a game this season (Dak Prescott, 83 percent versus Chicago in Week 3). Put simply, more than three-fourths of his plays contributed to the team’s scoring margin, given the context and situation." - http://www.espn.com/blog/statsinfo/p...s-excels-again This is why we should use our brains instead of repeating the garbage fed to us by Mellinger and Teicher. If Smith only had 34 plays yesterday to do something with the ball and earns both a rushing and passing TD, a FG, to 1 INT (first red zone interception since 2013) and completes an outstanding 77% of passes ... we should probably focus on the real problem yesterday: The Defense. Who didn't show up and allowed Winston/Martin to hold the ball for 35 minutes, earn 24 first downs, and convert 68% of 3rd downs (league average is 40%). Against the Bucs... Alex Smith: 1 INT, 99 QB rating Philip Rivers: 2 INTs, 80 QB rating Russell Wilson: 2 INTs, 39 QB rating Drew Brees: 3 INTs, 49 QB rating Last edited by TigeRRUppeRRcut; 12-11-2016 at 09:10 PM.. |

Given how concussions at the end of player careers tend to take those guys down significant notches (Aikman, Green, etc.) I think this is probably the best Alex we're going to get. |

The defense just held the Bucs to 19 points and Alex and Andy barely got the offense to score 17... And that was a break out type game from the offense... 1 TD per game from the offense isnt going to win many if any playoff games or let alone a SB... |

-Injuries to starters
-Predictable offensive play calling and subpar game management -3rd down conversions on both sides of the ball Those are the three biggest culprits holding the Chiefs back from being a contender let alone a playoff team. Smith is not good enough to overcome these issues, but I hesitate to throw sole blame his way considering how glaring the other problems are. The Chiefs absolutely need to win their remaining home games and get a road win to have a legit shot at making a run. |

There is no real divide hear among Chief fans. The divide is between Chief fans and Alex Smith fans. 95% of Chief fans on this board would love to see ASS11 play his last game as a Chief this season.

The last QB drafted by KC to win a game for KC is Todd-****ing-Blackledge. And the list of guys drafted since then shows just how seriously they don't take the position. It's no wonder KC is never a contender.
