Coogs · 08:16 PM

Q? FO!

From NFLNetwork byline:

QB Alex Smith tells NFL Total Access that Chiefs aren't running "cookie-cutter" offense and it isn't the same as what coach Andy Reid ran with Eagles and Packers. Catch the entire interview tonight at 7PM ET on NFL Total Access.

And I'm not trying to be a dick here:

He's not surrounded by pro-bowlers everywhere he looks like he was in SF.

It's going to be an uphill battle. You've got a complimentary Qb with nobody to compliment.

Yeah, he only has 8. **** excuses, he has plenty of talent to succeed. It's on him if he doesn't.

At the point of last year? or years ago? Because Crabtree was troubling in prior years (before Harbaugh regime) Remember how many accurate passes bounced off of Crabtree's hands or off his shoulder (as he turned to look downfield as the ball was arriving) and were INTs?

Anyway... natural hands winner now goes to Crabtree. He was good lately at plucking the underneath passes that he squared up with. On go routes, all of our guys had issues with catching them over the shoulder and stretching out.

We all know VD didn't have... doesn't have.. natural catch-hands. But he would surprise us at times.. and he improved this area with extreme practice over the years.

Alex looked to VD more often... Kaep looked to Crabtree often... That's just how it was. The Alex and Crabs connection was improving nicely though... just as the Kaep to VD connection was heating up in the postseason.

Any of this ring a bell at all?

Sadly...yes

You guys have 8 pro-bowlers on offense?!

Pasta Little Brioni · 07-23-2013, 10:59 AM

An above average O-line, Top 3 HB, and elite WR...yeah absolutely no talent to work with

I'd be shocked if Alex doesn't succeed. I look at it in reverse. I know what we'll be getting from Alex. What I don't know is how quickly KC players will pick up the new coaching and gel together.

Alex won't be the most dynamic QB around... but if your team is strong, then you should expect a successful season.

Ok. Just one on offesne. I was like WTF?! Where have I been?!

But you need more than one running back. Moaki is the key.

That's more than what he had in SF on offense. Although, I'd argue the SF defense was better. That said, how far into the play-offs did they make it that year?

Oh yeah...1 fumble away from a superbowl.

I don't give a **** about pro bowl players.

We know Bowe can play.

He is much better than Crabtree.

Alex Smith reminds me of stone soup.

You can make soup from this stone! You know what would go great with it? Some carrots...oh and some potatoes...and some beef...and a little cream...and some garlic! Hey look we made some pretty good soup!

You can make a good team from Alex Smith...you know what would go great with Alex Smith? A #1 defense! And a really great offensive line and running game, and some good receivers and top notch coaching!

Hey look! We made a good team from Alex Smith!

"This is a wonderful QB," said the homer.

"Indeed, but it's a most wonderful QB!" said the second homer.

"Yes, it is," said Maverick91579, "and it will make a good team forever, provided you follow the formula we used today."

Only when your starting RB is extremely small or older. Does it help? Sure, but the world isn't going to end.

Alex Smith is the key. TEs don't "make" QBs.

If that stone gets you to the play-offs and beyond, who cares?

I think this is all about Andy Reid. IMO.

I don't know where his head's at. It didn't seem to me like he took enough time to be with his family.

It was crazy to me that he took the job THAT QUICKLY in a year in which he lost his son.

Part of me thinks he just wants to keep going. I can understand that.

I just hope he's taken the time to grieve. Because if not, if he's doing this because he just doesn't want to think about it and he wants to distract himself, this will be a disaster.

I'm not saying he doesn't legitimately think he can fix the chiefs.

I just hope he's in a good place mentally and emotionally, because this isn't going to be easy.
