Does this team have an internal QB controversy?

I know how many times could you count 1234 while he dropped back. Give any other qb that amount of time and he would carve up a defense.

C.J. Beathard against that same Giants team.

19-25, 288 yards, 2 TDs and 1 INT.

****ing C.J. Beathard. Let that sink in.

It's easy to do when you have better weapons around you.

Look ALL around the league and you see career backups and scrubs doing more than Alex. And we're talking bad teams with bad receivers and o-lines. With bad coaches. Playing for nothing.

This offense SUCKS.

Alex Smith the entertainer: Always leaving you wanting more...

I knew Monday would be like this.

Nope, it's external.

Mitch Schwartz is obviously leaking frustration to his brother who is tweeting it, and Kelce is pumping up Mahomes in practice and now taking indirect shots at Alex.

The players want a QB change.

I posted Geoff Schwartz's video in another thread. He says Mahomes isn't ready.

The controversy is already stirring hot... Kelce says they can't beat cover 2 right now. That has to be about Alex. That's what we've all seen since last year against TB.

If you would told Chiefs fans before the year that Alex Smiff would have a QB rating 2nd in the NFL, ahead of Brees and just a hair behind Brady I would think everyone would have been ecstatic.

The Chiefs are 6th in yards, 6th in scoring offense. Oddly enough, the defense wasnt the problem against the Giants. Alex and the offense just need to be more consistent, its almost as if certain coaches can scheme the Chiefs offense out of games

Even the biggest haters celebrated our offense early in the year. This isn't just one bad game or a few bad games sprinkled in. This is 5 straight games where most were terrible offensive performances. And it follows a consistent theme that we can't beat zone.

The problem is, Alex lovers right now act like these bad 5 offensive games are out of the blue. They aren't. This is a lot more consistent with what our offense has looked like the last 5 years. It's just our defense isn't bailing them out anymore.

This. Nailed it. I have been very on the fence in the Alex Smith civil war for years. I was genuinely excited how he performed the first few games. But he's been a trainwreck since. "Happy feet" game manager cometh...

I do think odds are he'll perform better the remainder of the season. But we know what we've got and what he can and cannot do. Expectations have been reset to a realistic place.

These people actually thinking we might start Mahomes ex-injury are beyond delusional.

Based on what? Delusion? You say Mahomes fans are delusional?

No, I think Alex will perform better the remainder of the season just as I thought he would perform worse after the first few games. It's something called regression to the mean. He wasn't the quarterback we saw at the beginning of the season but I do think he's better than what we saw against the Giants. Moreover, the majority - though not everybody - on this board were believers of the "Mahomes lit a fire under Alex" narrative at the beginning of the season given his improved play. If there were any truth to that - and perhaps there were a sliver - I can create a similar one that says, "After the Giants game, Alex Smith had nothing to lose - he knew he was auditioning for his next job on the Browns or Jags and played balls out for the remainder of the year." I'm not arguing for him to be Joe Montana - I'm just arguing for him to take a step up from Steve Bono.

And I'm not saying Mahomes fans are delusional for wanting him to start - I can surely understand that sentiment. I'm saying it's highly unlikely Reid actually goes in that direction unless every game from here on out is as bad as Sunday's game against the Giants (which I personally don't think will be the case but the jury is out).

People need to think this through... Our offensive line was in shambles after week 4 and has never been right since then. We are getting closer to being healthy but still 1-2 games away from being back to week 4 if we are lucky. This is the biggest reason we are struggling... well, and our banged up defense. Anyone who compares yesterday's game to CJ Bethard playing in SF last week is also crazy. The wind yesterday effected both teams greatly. No points were scored going to the East endzone. The ball was sailing or getting crushed depending on where you were on the field. This was evidenced by both teams QB's and offense. I believe Mahommes is the future, but the Oline is in shambles and not a good time to make a switch.
