No, but at least we were in the playoffs 4 of the 5 seasons he was here. Most important, he knew he was history as soon as PMII's name was announced in the 2017 draft. But he still took him under his wing. That's class. Have a good life, Alex.

He was NOT better than Trent Green. No way.

He was an adequate game manager that they severely overpaid.

Ive always thought he was better than Green.

Green threw too many untimely INTs.

But arguments could be made either way for each.

Here's their stats as a Chief. Maybe it's just me, but 50-26-0 is a better record than 48-40-0 and 102 TDs to 33 INTs beats 118 TDs to 85 INTs.

QB Yrs Rec Comp% Yds TD Int Y/C Y/G
Green 6 48-40-0 61.9 21459 118 85 12.5 243.9
Smith 5 50-26-0 65.1 17608 102 33 11.1 231.7

Wins are not a QB stat.

Smith was a better QB for KC if you want your QB to be a chickenshit and protect the ball above all else.

Green beats him in all other ways.

Wins get you to the playoffs. Playoffs get you to the SB.

I'm not debating whether Smith or Green was the better QB, I'm just pointing out that maybe Green isn't the 3rd or 4th best QB the Chiefs ever had.

I dunno...basically across their careers with KC, they had identical TDs/game at 1.34, but Green's INT rate was almost 1/game, whereas Smith was .43/game. That's a lot of possessions Green was giving up for no more success in getting the ball into the end zone.

He'd be a great backup!

He really needs to go to Jax, he can reunite with one of his biggest fans in Meyer and be the perfect bridge/mentor for Lawrence

I'll always appreciate Kendall Fuller for his game sealing pick in the Super Bowl. He wasn't really what I thought he'd be for us here (although he might have had a spot at safety over slot corner), but I'll always remember and appreciate him for that play.

This is actually a pretty good idea. Even if Lawrence is week 1 starter, Smith would be a great guy to have in the QB room for TL (or whomever the Jags take). Mahomes and Kaepernick have both given high praise to Alex for helping them when they were young.

Yeah seems tailor made for him, doesnt it?

If Meyer wants TL to sit a few games to get up to speed, Smiths right there

Or if TL starts the year but stumbles outta the gate, they can bench him to cool him off and... Smiths right there

Either way, they have a role model for TL and Smitty gets to play a few more games

[BWillie]

Would he agree to be out practice QB?

[dlphg9]

This place and ****ing Alex Smith. "Oh golly gee willickers! He sure was a swell guy to Pat and groomed him into the QB he is today! All hail Alex, the guy who turned Pat into a pro!"

I don’t remember Trent throwing it 3 yds on 3 and 10...

I remember Trent throwing a 103-yard pick-six from the one yard line at my first Chiefs game. *sigh*

Happened just after I snapped this picture. All he had to do was not stare down Tony or maybe put some air under it. Nope. Tony R cuts inside, Tony G goes outside and the Houston defender steps right in front of Gonzalez and heads for the end zone. Priest almost caught him, which was impressive as hell.

Yea. That sort of stuff was so frustrating about triINT green.
