Alex Smith is "the best in the league"
BY RANDY COVITZ
The Kansas City Star There’s little question any success the Chiefs have this season hinges on how well quarterback Alex Smith performs. The Chiefs paid a hefty price in acquiring Smith from San Francisco for a second-round pick in this year’s NFL Draft and a conditional second- or third-round pick in 2014. Smith led San Francisco to the NFC championship game in 2011 and started the first nine games of the 49ers’ Super Bowl run a year ago, and Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson believes strongly in Smith. “Ultimately, every team has to have a quarterback,” Pederson said. “I think we have the best in the league.” The best? Better than Peyton Manning … Tom Brady … Drew Brees … Joe Flacco … Matt Ryan … Eli Manning … Colin Kaepernick … ? “There are a lot of great ones,” Pederson said, “but over time, Alex has proven he can get it done. He’s a sharp guy, he brings a wealth of knowledge, he’s experienced, he’s a proven winner the last couple of years, and he needs a team to embrace him.” Read more here: http://www.kansascity.com/2013/07/31...#storylink=cpy |

Hell though, even guys like Cam, who's built like a damn monster, can't continually take hits like that.
4 or 5 licks per game from DE's and OLB's who are arguably the most athletic freakish guys in the NFL? For my franchise QB, I'm saying **** that. |

It is obvious now that we need a new OC.

Jesse Haynes was the next Barry Sanders as I recall.

I've been impressed with what I've seen and heard of Pederson in 2013.
Until now. ![]() |

Nice try, Goebbels. The guy is mediocre at best.

Well, now we know that we can disregard any opinions offered up by Doug Pederson.

Since the season has ended NFL coaches and their staff have conversed through clinics with the best college defensive minds on defending the option, the pistol formation and other offensive trends.
The Chiefs are at the top of their game - They hired Chris Ault to serve as a consultant. In 2010 Pete Thamel, college sports reporter for The New York Times wrote an article about Chris Ault titled "Nevada's Runaway Offense" that you may find interesting: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/11/sp...etethamel&_r=0

LOL... I know, I have read his comments...
However, I hope Meyer's read an article in The New York Times that reported Meyer's Florida football players had been arrested 31 times during his tenure.

Took a nap. Did we ever decide what Alex Smith is " best in the league" at?
