Chiefs Alex Smith vs. Rich Gannon - Page 6

My view is that Andy Reid has no use for "game manager" QBs. What skills did Rich Gannon have that Alex Smith does not? Rich Gannon passed for about 4500 yards one year a Reid-like offense. Why can't Alex Smith do the same? Not saying he will, but help me understand why it's not going to happen.

My guess is he does, but I thought Pioli would be a a great GM, so shows you how much I know....I don't know much, and am arrogant like everyone on here, but I think Reid's tenure here will be defined by Alex Smith. Either he will suck or be good.

If he throws for more than 3400 I win.
No one win in between. Winner gets full Av Sig etc. Control.

You got the balls, Sweet Chuck?

Goddamned right, *****a'; lets do this.

All depends on how healthy J Charles can be and how well the o-line can come together.

2011 Alex Smith led 49ers: 13-3.

Geez how bad is it that the Alex Smith supporters are confident that he will be able to rip off 200 yards per game.

Who cares as long as they win.

Reid's offense is more pass oriented and he's got better weapons in Bowe, Charles and McCluster - guys who should thrive in Reid's offense in terms of YAC. As well, Reid's Eagle teams were constantly in the top 10 in passing yards nearly every single year he was coach.

I think 3,600 to 4,000 isn't out of the realm of possibility.

In addition, when you factor in the use of Bowe and the FB/TE for Reid's offense, I think you'll see a lot of red zone pass TD's over designed running plays.

24 to 28 TD's from Smith's arm should be expected.

You don't mean Alex Smith supporters, you mean Andy Reid supporters, right?

My expectation is that ownership is trying to build a team that will win multiple Super Bowls. Don't see Alex Smith as a piece of that puzzle.

You don't mean Alex Smith supporters, you mean Andy Reid supporters, right?

Edit: I don't mean this as a stupid appeal to authority....if Andy Reid is wrong about Alex Smith, he'll fail right. Can't we all agree on that?

I don't believe Smith is his long-term lover.

You know, he was two special teams fumbles away from being a starting Super Bowl QB in 2011.

And he was on that same pace in 2012 when he was sidelined with a minor injury that led to one of the stranger coaching decisions I've seen in recent memory.
