Trading for Alex Smith is a "win-now" move, so I expect them to win right out of the gate. And not just in the regular season - there better be some playoff wins mixed in there. Now, that's what should happen, based on the move itself. What I expect will happen? Dink. Dunk. Play it safe or take a sack. Hope the running game and/or defense carries the load. Pretty much exactly what we've seen the last 4 years, but with more accuracy in the short passing game. Yawn. |

Some points:
--Andy Reid has always been able to get more out of QBs than other coaches, and that is why I wanted him to begin with. --Andy Reid is not a play not-to-lose coach - we will throw a LOT. --Andy Reid seems to REALLY have wanted Alex Smith. Put all those together, it seems clear to me that Reid thinks has a plan for Alex Smith, and considers him a franchise quarterback. Alex Smith does not have an elite arm, but does have an elite brain (40 wonderlic). If I had to guess, I'd say Reid is tired of all the turnovers he got with Vick, and will run an offense like Gruden and Callahan did with Rich Gannon, and we will throw it a LOT more than you guys think. I'm not saying it's going to be successful, just arguing that we will not play not-to-lose crap. |

He not only needs to play at a high level right away, he needs to elevate the level of play of those around him as well.

No, we didn't "basically" give up a 1st round pick. We gave up a high 2nd round pick. If you have to exaggerate to make your point then your point is BS.

I'm expecting him to be about like Kyle Orton, but without the facial hair.

I think Alex Smith is going to break apart mid~season & in mid~air.
Someone should start an expectation thread for Chase Daniel. I'd bet Chase can out play Alex Smith in preason but no competition to win the job.
