To blame that loss on Alex Smith is just flat out disregarding facts. |

He balled out for a half.

People need to face up to the reality that Andy decided to model this team after the old Ravens. Great defense, good running game and a game managing QB approach.

John Dorsey took the parts that were already in place and has been been building around them, while also getting Reid the QB he wanted and trying to build around him and Charles. This team is looking more like the late 90s, early 2000s Eagles.

While I agree with you, I think it's somewhere in between. Dorsey's drafts/taste in prospects is a lot like Newsome's. The second we took Peters I thought to myself "wow this is the type of pick Ozzy makes" then the day after reports come out that the Ravens were targeting Peters. Our defense is very similar to those great Ravens defenses.

44 points should be enough to win any playoff game.
Everybody takes a share of the blame, but I don't think Alex's share should be anywhere near as big as other factors... Kendrick Lewis having a target on his head all game Losing Flowers, Avery, Jamaal and Davis to injury in the game Luck having that stripped ball bounce right back into his hands and scoring with it. The RB pulling up on the wheel route Bowe not fully extending on the final pass because he thought he might break his foot if he did (actually said this in an interview) I guess I can't fault Alex that much for not scoring more than 44 points when he lost 3 of his best offensive players to injury...but I fault him for not being efficient while throwing the ball away up 28 pts, snapping the ball with time left on the play clock, running out of bounds on a scramble, throwing it short of the sticks and towards the sideline when we need to roll the clock....lot of stuff a grizzled vet should be better than. |

Alex played great. But he shares some of the blame for the loss. (Just like Andy Reid, the defense, etc).

He doesn't share some of the blame. He shares a really, really, really small % of the blame. So small that it's not even worth mentioning his name. A perfect QB performance is completely unreasonable, especially when you have to carry that kind of a team.

He left a total over 7 minutes on the play clock in the second half.

It still doesn't matter to me. You've got a guy who played at a hall of fame level save for a few mistakes, maybe including clock management. And in this case, I can't blame him for closing because he threw a good enough pass to set up a game winning field goal. So in the grand scheme of things, it's seems petty for people to even bring this game up as one of Smith's shortcomings. This is one of the few games in his career at KC that I thought we actually have a QB who can win some playoff games for us. |

Alex Smith doesn't lose games the conventional way that quarterbacks lose games. That is why his fans have such a hard time dealing with people who dislike his game.
Alex Smith doesn't lose games the way Jay Cutler loses games (throwing 3 interceptions, one being a pick 6). Alex Smith loses games by not taking advantage of the chances he is given, thus missing out on gamechanging opportunities. Its very difficult to quantify how Alex loses games, which is why some people refuse to believe he is as big of a problem as he is. That one 49er fan who joined the site when Alex was traded to us warned us that he would divide our fan base. That is exactly what he has done. Good posters like On the Warpath are choosing not to be a part of this site anymore largely because of how divided we have become. I dont have the longterm relationships that a lot of people have here, but its sad. |
