Alex Smith is a solid QB, sorry haters. Bucs win 5th game in a row.
Despite the common thought here that Alex Smith held down the team Sunday, Smith's overall production to the team yesterday graded out very positive in 3 rankings:
Smith: QBR 94.1, QB rating 99, PFF 71.9 Winston: QBR 83.6, QB rating 97, PFF 50.7 ![]() https://www.profootballfocus.com/pro...-for-bucs-win/ "Smith gained positive expected points (EPA) on 77 percent of his plays on Sunday, the second-highest rate for a QB in a game this season (Dak Prescott, 83 percent versus Chicago in Week 3). Put simply, more than three-fourths of his plays contributed to the team’s scoring margin, given the context and situation." - http://www.espn.com/blog/statsinfo/p...s-excels-again This is why we should use our brains instead of repeating the garbage fed to us by Mellinger and Teicher. If Smith only had 34 plays yesterday to do something with the ball and earns both a rushing and passing TD, a FG, to 1 INT (first red zone interception since 2013) and completes an outstanding 77% of passes ... we should probably focus on the real problem yesterday: The Defense. Who didn't show up and allowed Winston/Martin to hold the ball for 35 minutes, earn 24 first downs, and convert 68% of 3rd downs (league average is 40%). Against the Bucs... Alex Smith: 1 INT, 99 QB rating Philip Rivers: 2 INTs, 80 QB rating Russell Wilson: 2 INTs, 39 QB rating Drew Brees: 3 INTs, 49 QB rating Last edited by TigeRRUppeRRcut; 12-11-2016 at 09:10 PM.. |

Also likely. I'm not sure. Obviously people can lie but he posted once about "watching a movie with the wife" or something or other. |

Heck we've had fluke injuries to defense players blamed on Alex making them take the field too much. |

I understand, but Sandy takes it to a weird and uncomfortable level. When ASS had an ultra shitty streak, Sandy just posted something about how he was just happy such a great guy got paid all that money. Gave 2 shits about the Chiefs organization.

If Bashers aren't putting both Smith AND Reid on the culpability dais, they're doing it all wrong. They are inextricably linked.

Talks about him sometimes as if Alex and him have this super interpersonal ESP-like connection. |

He's like BIG with Troy Nickerson minus the fake personal accomplishments.

As for the injuries, weren't some talking-heads making excuses for Alex when he was having accuracy issues in the weeks after he was concussed? As if... He hardly needs a concussion to be a generally inaccurate thrower. I know, I know, not the same thing, but getting his hard leads to injuries, getting hit hard a LOT (because you're out there a lot), and because you're gassed (and not protecting yourself) leads to more injuries. Minimally Alex's inability to be like Brady (and sustain drives because he's awesome) has worn-out the defense by the 3rd quarter, and others might not be 100% off base with suggesting that Alex-aided exhaustion is leading to a higher number of plays and the associated higher wear-and-tear on their bodies. At least some of us are calling out the lower-paid O-line for not helping Alex's mediocre QB play keep the defense off the field. Edit: I've clearly blamed Andy for sucking on Sunday's too... |

Because I think they read these forums (I know I couldn't resist), I hope that inspires Alex to anger, change and not suck anymore... |
