Alex Smith is "the best in the league"
BY RANDY COVITZ
The Kansas City Star There’s little question any success the Chiefs have this season hinges on how well quarterback Alex Smith performs. The Chiefs paid a hefty price in acquiring Smith from San Francisco for a second-round pick in this year’s NFL Draft and a conditional second- or third-round pick in 2014. Smith led San Francisco to the NFC championship game in 2011 and started the first nine games of the 49ers’ Super Bowl run a year ago, and Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson believes strongly in Smith. “Ultimately, every team has to have a quarterback,” Pederson said. “I think we have the best in the league.” The best? Better than Peyton Manning … Tom Brady … Drew Brees … Joe Flacco … Matt Ryan … Eli Manning … Colin Kaepernick … ? “There are a lot of great ones,” Pederson said, “but over time, Alex has proven he can get it done. He’s a sharp guy, he brings a wealth of knowledge, he’s experienced, he’s a proven winner the last couple of years, and he needs a team to embrace him.” Read more here: http://www.kansascity.com/2013/07/31...#storylink=cpy |

Nurturing him while holding him back. It's a conspiracy! A conspiracy of mediocrity! |

It's just never going to end until it's over, I've learned.

A good quarterback and winning. Happiness is just that close.

I didn't know that marcellus was coordinating for the Chiefs this year. At least I know who to PM suggestions and complaints to now.

Common strategy employed by successful coaches. I'm sure the change in the Niners offense when Kaepernick took over was all because of that and had nothing to do with his different skills and abilities. Sure.

All I have to say is, whenever I hear ****ing ANYONE use the defense "he's a proven winner" to describe a QB, it makes me think of the same defense that was used for Matt Cassel and Tim Tebow.

They forgot to print the whole comment: "He's the best in the league.... at checking down, panicking under pressure, taking sacks, and having zero effect on wins and losses."

Well, losses anyway. The sample size of wins isn't large enough to draw any conclusions.

Nothing would make me happier than Alex Smith turning into a star.

That's a pretty big statement. It's worrisome actually.
