Alex Smith did, does, and will always suck.

Play to THAT.

Use the run to set up play action passes. Use it to buy him time to throw.

I guess to clarify my point imagine the 95-97 Chiefs with Smith at QB.
Imagine the Garner/Watters Eagles with Smith.
We don't have to imagine the 49'ers smashmouth WCO. He's done it.
Hell, the old Denver offense with Plummer would be PERFECT for Smith.

oooohhhhhh. Good call. Alex Smith would thrive in a Shanahan offense with the bootlegs.....Great call.

lol true. Well living in DC at least I don't have to hear their obnoxious fan-base talk about how amazing RG3 is all year!

BALLER!

Are you ****ing dense? I am NOT TALKING ABOUT THE FUTURE. I am talking about your statement that he is not capable of winning a shootout in the playoffs. HE HAS.

You really need to watch what you write. Maybe you didn't mean he isn't capable of doing what he actually has done, maybe you meant he can't do it with the Chiefs, but that is NOT what you said.

He CAN win a shootout in the playoffs. As long as he wins the turnover battle by +5.

5 turnovers and he almost lost that game.

[Marcellus]

We had 8 TD passes all of last season, that is the picture perfect example of suck.

We have 4 in 2 games.

Mull it over.

Seems the extremes are a fabrication altogether though. No one is saying you or anyone has to "go all in" and pronounce Alex is the savior of KC... that he is elite and will be exceptional for the next 10 years. No one is saying any of that... can you at least recognize and appreciate that much? Most of the pro-Alex guys are only really suggesting that it is wrong to label him as a Cassell and that KC can't be successful with him. You may not be black or white in your intent, but your posts have all definitely favored the pessimistic view... and definitely comes off as an axe to grind VS a simple pat on the back, and keep doing well, Alex.

Since when is doing something once (even if I agree the 2011 Saints were 'elite') proving you can do it?

What commitment are we speaking of? If you mean commitment as in "extend him nao to a 5 year deal for 12 mil per"? Then, sure... I agree to not... and I doubt Smith really cares about that either right now. If you mean the extreme praise that I mentioned in my above response to Bear? then redundant.

Not sure if he ever will though. And by consistence I mean playing fantastic and making big time throws throughout the entire game. His play is pretty consistent for the most part all season. But yeah his highs are highs, his lows are pretty low.

I have liked most of your posts, but this just doesn't seem accurate at all. If anything, Alex over the last couple years has been MORE consistent than most QBs. Other QBs regarded as better have been far more up and down in performances... really big games mixed with really awful games. Alex has been more consistently good but not lighting things up. And how many QBs really make big time throws consistently throughout games each week?

Since this is always a big criticism of Smith....

Alex Smith hasn't ever been known for his ability to push the ball vertically down the field so it's not a huge surprise that we haven't seen it much from the Chiefs to start the season. In fact, the Chiefs attempted just two passes over 20 yards against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, completing one. More on those later in this post.

But if the Chiefs aren't pushing the ball down the field then naturally the defense's safeties will creep up to help stop Jamaal Charles in the run game, right? That's the general line that people use when talking about a quarterback that either doesn't have the arm strength to get the ball down the field, or a team that doesn't at least show a willingness to stretch the field in the passing game.

After going back and re-watching the Chiefs 17-16 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, the Chiefs haven't reached the point to where a team is daring them to throw the ball deep.

The Cowboys Tampa-2 defense led by defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin had the safeties playing deep for the majority of the game.

Now the obvious question is... if Smith is such a lousy deep passing QB, why are teams even bothering to play the safeties deep against him?

AS has the ability to throw the ball down the field, he just doesn't have the guts to.

He's a chickenshit.

QB's that play as scared as him don't often find success. Yeah, he won't make the big mistake, but he won't go out and win the game for you either. There will be important games when the team needs him to do just that, and it simply won't be happening because he's a coward.

Closing out the game against the cowgirls is a perfect example of this. Jamaal Charles is the real QB of this team.

Thursday will be the real test for Alex. The Eagles will put up points at home so the offense is going to have kick it into high gear. This is the type of game Alex HAS to show he can win.

There ARE other elements to a cover 2 scheme that Dallas can run. You think a pro DC is just stuck with his CBs playing the short zone as his safeties split the field in deep halves? You really think Dallas plays that exact way every snap? You really think a pro DC wouldn't adjust to the strengths and weaknesses of the opponents offense and personnel? and I am the stupid one?

Not sure I agree with you a 100% Big Cat. I think this is the best D the Eagles will face. Im not so sure they will put up a lot of points. Also if there is one thing Smith is a master of its the Long Long sustained drives. Even if they dont turn into points. He has been the best the last couple season at Time of possession. Im not sure where all this" He has to show he can win stuff" is coming from. He is 22-6 in his last 28 games including the playoffs. The Qb get s the blame for loses and the glory for wins. Thats just the way it is. KC can dream an dream for an Aaron Rogers type of QB, its just not who he is, but those W's just keep piling up. Keep rollin KC you guys look like a real deal football team, even without the 300yrd passing games everyone wants so bad. Ol Smitty still looks good in Red!!! Happy for you guys.
