aaKansas City Chiefs QB Alex Smith wowed the crowd with pinpoint throws

Kansas City Chiefs QB Alex Smith didn't care that the skies were again overcast during practice on Monday; likely because his accurate throws would've outshined the sun, had it made an appearance.

Smith was on-point, nearly perfect, unofficially completing 17 of 20 passes for three TDs during the roughly two-and-a-half hour practice.

"It’s a reflection of the group,” Smith said. “O-line was great today; it starts with them. They did a good job communicating, especially in the blitz period, third down, everybody was on the same page and then there were guys making plays outside. We got off to a good start but really, I think the spark came from the guys up-front."

Among the many pass-catchers Smith connected with on Monday, Chiefs TE Anthony Fasano continues to play at a very-high level. Smith threw to Fasano three-straight times, late in practice, including one TD.

"He's such a dependable guy, so reliable," Smith said of Fasano. "He has such a great knowledge of the game, a great feel for it, defenses and how they’re playing him and he uses his body so well. He continues to make tough catches. He’s what you’re looking for in a TE, that reliable guy that continues to be open, time after time."

Another of Smith's targets was Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe, whose best catch on Monday was a one-handed grab in 7-on-7s.

"That’s just him making me look good," Smith said. "There’s not much to it. I threw it up there and let him do the rest."

Bowe described the play from a different perspective.

"No, man," Bowe said of Smith's pass. "He put the ball right on the outside; he saw the inside leverage, and our job is to catch the ball; it happened to be a one-handed catch, but it was a great pass by Alex."

Bowe also shared how he's feeling just days away from the team's first preseason game of the year.

"I’m feeling good,” Bowe said. "We’re going against the best every day at practice, so when we get to the games, we will be ready."

Following Smith, Chiefs QB Chase Daniel stepped in Monday and continues to move the ball effectively, highlighted by his completion to a determined Chiefs TE Tony Moeaki on a third-down play in the red zone.

"Chase did a great job of getting the ball out quick," Moeaki said. "I was just trying to get the ball vertical and it was a third-down play, so getting the first down in the red zone, that’s huge. We as a TE group feel that’s where our number should be called; we’re just trying to help the team score."

Later in 11-on-11s, Chiefs QB Ricky Stanzi closed out the drill with a beauty of a throw for a TD to Chiefs rookie WR Frankie Hammond Jr.

"It was a great throw by Ricky,” Hammond Jr. said. "I kind of pinned the guy inside and he just made a great throw and I went up and got it."

Like the other Chiefs rookies, Hammond Jr. is ready and waiting for his opportunity to shine on Friday night.

"Definitely,” Hammond Jr said. "It’s just ‘lay it out all on the table’; you’ll only get so many opportunities in these preseason games, so when we get out there, we have to make the most of them and go out there and play hard."

The team played hard yet again today, which caught the eye of Chiefs head coach Andy Reid.

"Good work today," coach Reid said.

"This is our fifth day in a row of full contact and going. This is our longest stretch; we’ll have another day tomorrow. So, the guys pushed through a big red zone day today, big 3RD-and-long day today. I thought they traded back and forth, challenging each other and working hard.”

Part of the hard work paid off for the defense in 11-on-11s, when Chiefs DB Otha Foster III was in the right place at the right time for his pick-six INT.

"I was playing free," Foster III said. "The guy dragged across and the QB threw it to him, bounced off his shoulder and landed in my hands. We were going full contact, all the way, tackling to the ground and that’s why I ran it all the way back."

Foster hopes to carry the defensive momentum with him into Friday's road game against the Saints.

"I feel good about that because it’s close to my hometown in Louisiana," he said. "I’m going to have a lot of family there and they love the Saints, except when I’m playing; they’ll be on my side (on) Friday.”

The Chiefs return to the practice field tomorrow, before a day off on Wednesday, travel day to New Orleans on Thursday and then, the real fun begins Friday night at 7:00 PM CDT, from the Mercedes-Benz

That doesn't take away from Alex being a damn good QB in his own right.

So no, I most certainly don't "lose this argument", lolz... what a 12 year old thing to say.

What about Jim going after Manning?

ad nauseum...

those that dislike Alex will claim one thing... those that like him will speculate another..

It's a waste of time, really. There was an offer on the table for Alex prior to Manning and agent calling SF. Again, Jim looked at Alex as a good QB and a good option to stop-gap the team. Once Manning called, it would have been irresponsible to not take a listen. It's Peyton ****ing Manning!

There is a metric **** ton of fail in that list.

Acquiring a first round Super Bowl winning QB has required more luck than actual scouting and development over the past 30+ years.

And if it requires that much luck to draft a first round Super Bowl winning QB, just think of the luck it requires to acquire a Super Bowl winning QB drafted in the later rounds.

The odds are pretty glum for traded QBs as well.

Ironically, free agent QBs seem to do pretty well. Drew Brees, Brad Johnson, Trent Dilfer. That's yet again an area that we never seem to poke around at unless we're just turds like Chase Daniel or Brady Quinn.

The point is, this franchise likes to trade for backups. If they're feeling particularly saucy one year, maybe they'll draft a guy in the late rounds, but more often than not they'll let other teams waste their draft picks on QBs.

In Year One, Reid and Dorsey continued that trend in spite of riding into town and wiping the slate completely clean by cutting Cassel, Quinn, and Tanney. They continued the trend of their predecessors that has led to only THREE QBs getting drafted since 2000 (Stanzi, Croyle, Killian).

What's going to happen next year? Are they going to use the excuse of being saddled with Chase Daniel's contract and the encouraging development of a ****ing undrafted guy to explain why they passed over all the QBs in 2014? Because I can absolutely see that happening.

I'm used to those words. They're familiar to me.

so, Manning called Jim and not vice versa?

You don't like what's going on in Chiefsland, then go kick rocks. Just **** off and go watch fishing or bowling. Bye.

Do you have multiple sources to suggest otherwise? and does any of it mitigate my point? There WAS a contract waiting for Alex's signature... this, we know.

Think we would sign Alex to be the backup for 8 mil AND sign Manning? Think we had the cap for that? You think we were ever seriously considering a contract like Manning signed in Denver? If so, then wow... that would be reerun thinking for sure.

There you go again, proclaiming that Chase Daniel is a "turd".

Please provide evidence that he's a turd. TIA.

Bullshit. The Chiefs have traded for one backup QB: Cassel.

Who gives a ****? Who in their right ****ing mind believes that Dorsey and Reid are in any way, shape or form tied to the past of the Kansas City Chiefs?

"Saddled" with Daniel's contract? Good grief, get a grip.

Do you have any source saying that Manning initiated contact? Why would Manning contact the Niners only to tell them "no"?

I think your BS is getting a little too deep.

Yes, but in the NFL, if you haven't done it, and you're someone like Chase Daniel, I doubt that you can.
