Is Alex Smith Who We Thought He Is?

Coming into the season, Chiefs fans were looking for a lot less of this:

And a LOT more of this:

Anyone that has watched Alex Smith play during his 3 and a half years in Kansas City knows that he is a mobile quarterback with playmaking ability. Those same people also know that Smith is not as good at stretching the field compared to other quarterbacks. The eye test gives pretty solid evidence for that. The GIF above shows you the playmaking ability, but also: Alex is stretching the field! With a revamped offensive line, developing receivers and a fantastic RB Core, Alex should be ready more than ever to push the ball down the field, right? Right? Right?

Sadly, statistics aren't on our side. Alex has averaged 6.7 YPA (Yards Per Attempt) this season. Compare this to last year's average (7.4) and you are saying to yourself "Wow! I had no clue he had regressed in the YPA department this season..." The famous eye test sure doesn't do it justice, but our reality is that Alex is throwing the ball shorter than he was last year, which we didn't know was truly possible.

This doesn't mean that "Captain Checkdown" is making a return. This doesn't mean that Alex Smith isn't capable of throwing the deep ball. This simply means that Alex Smith is throwing the ball a shorter distance down the field compared to last season. Now, many factors can contribute to that. Below is a table of Alex's opponent, attempts and yards per attempt.

Opponent
Attempts
YPA
San Diego Chargers

7.56
Houston Texans
37
5.03
New York Jets
33
7.18
Pittsburgh Steelers

5.74
Oakland Raiders
22
10.18
New Orleans Saints

8.92
Indianapolis Colts
19
6.68
Carolina Panthers
38
4.68
7.1 YPA is the NFL Median so far this season, meaning that 7.1 is the middle of the road in terms of YPA. Alex Smith has thrown for above 7.1 YPA in 4 out of 8 games this season, with 4/8 below the median as well. His average in a game OVER YPA is 2.72. When he performs under the median level, he does so at an average of 1.57 YPA. This data may seem meaningless, but there is actually a lot that can be interpreted from it.

2.72 is greater than 1.57. When Alex Smith is stretching the field, he is doing so very well. When he doesn't stretch the field, he does so at a bit better of a distance from the median. He has great moments and bad moments.

Good moment:

Bad moment:

To make a long story short, Alex Smith is what we thought he is. Coming into the season, we wanted him to stretch the field more and make more big plays. He has done so, but there has been no in between. This is just the tip of the iceberg. I am not going to go in depth about how many good defenses he's faced or how his progressions look, etc. but I am going to say this: Alex is who we thought he is, a QB that can make throws on occasion, but can not make them consistently. Stay tuned for more analysis. Until then, here's what we used to put up with:

He has not denied the latter.

So is he mad that Alex boned his wife or because Alex didn't bone him?

That sucks 100 times more than winning regular season games.

What I said was Alex did a publicity stunt looking for a girl who went missing here in the bay not the main reason I don't like Alex just one of the many reasons I think he is a shit player and even worse person.

He has one more year of being a guy who can get you a one and done, and then he's done as a viable starting NFL QB.

Rest in peace, rich mother****er. Hope you enjoyed ripping off KC and the Hunts, now get the **** out.

Welcome back Clay

JMac has been sucking way more dick than Dwayne Bowe ever did when Reid came to town.

Not sure if it's mental or what, but I'm not so sure we're going to become a real offense even with Maclin fully healthy.

Because expecting an offense to score at least two TDs a game = fantasy football circlejerking.

**notorious** · 11-18-2016, 05:55 PM

Step 1 Alex Smith is a limp dick in the playoffs

Step 2 Tony Romo is a surprise signing by the Chiefs and Alex is drop-kicked into the trash

Step 3 Profit!

jimidollar · 11-18-2016, 06:01 PM

Being the QB of the Chiefs is like being the President of the USA. I'm going to hate whoever it is!

Wow. Just when I thought you couldn't be more pathetic and ignorant.

You do know that Smith created a non-profit Youth Foundation to help less fortunate kids?

http://alexsmithfoundation.org/

The Alex Smith Foundation, meanwhile, was held up as a non-profit model. Smith’s foundation, which sends foster teens to college, spent 91 percent of its funds on its mission from 2008-10, the time period from which the Globe examined IRS filings.

The reason the foundation has low overhead costs is because Smith personally funds much of the mission.

You really think he was concerned about publicity for himself while searching for that missing girl?

I don't think I have ever said this to a person before, but you should probably kill yourself. Being this stupid is beyond belief.

I was kidding before about ever putting someone on ignore here over these years, but congrats.. you are there now. Worthless pile of shit, you are.

The dude never took any personal responsibility for any of the loses that he caused on ninerdom during the dark he would always sit there with a stupid look on his face during the press conference.

And for looking for Lamar I was there you were not he was giving interviews galore there was so much press there the search got called off early.
