Chiefs Alex Smith > Cassel....it's a start - Page 7

Never saw Cassel do any of this shit...

5 year starters;

smith = 46 wins, 58%

cassel = 29 wins, 36% (19 wins, 30% if you subtract the 10 as a patriot taking over a perfect 18-0 team)

A lot of those receivers were wide open, but one thing you take away from that video is that his accuracy is a huge step up from Cassel, especially beyond 10 yards. Smith's arm is at least respectable, though certainly his arm strength is not elite, you could call it average NFL arm strength, IMO. His mobility and pocket presence are certainly better and will be an asset.

My main concern with Alex Smith is his ability to stay healthy. He was sacked a ton of times in those lackluster seasons in SF, and I think we will be able to protect him better.

It is a start.

Most of the arguments against smith such as the middle stats all hinge on the years more than 3 years ago before there was any competent coaching in SF, when a carousel of coordinators and systems was spinning.

Smith is better than Palmer, and Rivers isn't what he was.

Really? Compare their 2012 seasons. 2011, too.

I hate giving #34 for him, but your post is stupid.

Pasta Little Brioni · 02-28-2013, 07:51 AM

Better than Cassel does not equal good

**BigMeatballDave** · 02-28-2013, 07:58 AM

Fescoe thinks they should hang on to Cassel and trade him.

NO ONE WANTS HIM, YOU DUMBASS!

There were actually teams interested in Smith.

Alex Smith - 59.3 completion %, 14,280 yards, 81 TD, 63 INT, 36 Fumbles, 79.1 Passer Rating

LOL. its amazing to me how dense some of you on this board are. You want to use alex smiths stats under the likes of singletary, jimmy raye, jeff hostler, and mike nolan, without just taking the stats under an offensive coach.

I think if you took a look at that, you might feel a little bit better

I'll use his stats over the last two seasons.

In Alice Smith's last 2 seasons he has thrown for over 300yds once. He has thrown for over 250yds just five times. TERRIBLE. Matt Cassel has done better.

Last season he had a "amazing" 70% completion rate. He only threw the ball over 10yds 43 times compared to MATT ****ING CASSEL'S 96!

ALICE SMITH IS NOTHING!

There are only two statistical categories where Alice is superior to Matt Cassel, wins(product of his team), and INT's(Cassel had one historically bad year).

Trying to tell me Alice is better than Matt b/c he throws less INT's is like telling me I'm better off hiring a pedophile than a child murderer to babysit my kid b/c when I get home my kid won't be dead...**** YOU!
