Chiefs We need to extend Alex Smith - Page 21

Alex Smith 4Ever · 01-05-2014, 02:42 PM

Alex played the game of his life and he was BETRAYED by the defense

Alex Smith dropped 44 points on the Colts and somehow still lost. Alex is a hero. 44 points can win you a SUPERBOWL. What happened to the best defense in the league? They sure weren't out there tonight. You could cut all of them and it wouldn't matter. What matters is having Alex.

Yeah, that tends to happen when you just look at yardage. 114 more attempts in 2010.

Meanwhile, we had a 4.7 YPC in 2010 and 2013.

Nice try.

Someone else we know threw for 27/7 once.

Personally, as long as his deal doesn't restrict us from legitimately filling holes, or doesn't marry us to him for more than 2-3 years - I don't care what they give him.

I'd say he can, simply based on his two seasons in SF.

Cassel didn't have that to fall back on.

I tend to agree that Smith isn't going to demand unrealistic numbers. I think he wants to win and knows that if he eats up all the money, they won't be able to fill any gaps that need to be filled in order to win. I really think that's what he cares about most.

His agent, on the other hand, will try to get for Alex every penny he can get, because obviously his commission goes up as well with every penny.

Marcellus · 01-08-2014, 04:47 PM

Give him 5 years of really good money but no more. You could even front load the first 3 or so.

Alex Smith has gotten better each of the last 3 years. Cassel not so much

AS is clearly better at his profession than Cassel, but we also know that an Andy Reid team is never going to lead the NFL in rushing. No way, no how.

This team played the good teams tuff, but couldn't finish sadly.

I would agree that he can keep his TD:INT based on his time in SF.

There's nothing from his time in SF or his year here that leads me to believe that he can consistently increase his yardage production, as you put it.

If he can do that consistently for the team and increase his yardage production ala the playoff game, he's worth 17.5 mil a year.

And before you whine, that's cheaper than Matt Ryan's contract.

Who stole your log in password? No way you wrote that? I am also with signing him up as long as it's not a rediculous price. We need other players to get better and some FA's but Smith can get it done and we should all want him to stay longer than next year. He is just as good as the so called young studs like Wilson and Kap.

Giving up on your last "point" already?

Nope Cassel needs a running games. Alex doesn't.

Well, you would hope more WR/TE talent on offense + 2nd year in the system would help him in that regard.

I don't know, I'm just OK with Alex after that playoff game.

Please shoot me.

That's exactly what I'm hoping for, I'm just not sure how they can do it and fill the holes they have. We're up against the cap.

I suggested 5/75 the other day as long as we can get out of it cheaply after the 2nd or 3rd year if necessary.

Tombstone RJ · 01-08-2014, 04:52 PM

Well, Jason Cole was guessing, but he said "6 years, 17 or 17.5 million a year" when I asked what contract Alex Smith will sign. #Chiefs

You're all over the map.

Deberg_1990 · 01-08-2014, 04:53 PM

Haven't the Romo and Cutler contracts sort of set the price here?

Isn't Smith at least on par with those guys? Maybe not purely stats, but wins and production?
