Chiefs Alex Smith: I don't think anyone is going to be too hard headed

LOL at the (lazy) assertion that Alex Smith has a better track record than Tony Romo.

Alex Smith has played on better teams the past 3 years. Tony Romo has been the better QB.

If you want to debate it with Cutler or Stafford, OK. You can make arguments either way. I've never been a big believer in Stafford, and Cutler can't stay healthy.

Just beat me to It. That was my exact take away too, lol at Covitz. By te way nice job reading the article to dig that out since most posters read one paragraph then opine Smith sucks or is good.

I also enjoyed the assertion Alex Smith "Led" the 49ers to the NFC Championship game. Suuuuuuuuuuuuuure he did. In the same way that John Paxson led the Chicago Bulls to 2 NBA championships.

He had like six 4th quarter comebacks that year and is also the reason why they beat the Saints in the playoffs to get to the NFCC. Not quite the same as when Mark Sanchez "led" the Jets to the AFCC in back to back seasons.

The 4th quarter comeback stat looks nice on the surface.....but when you actually look at the games and see that Alex Smith was completely ineffective for much of the game and then made one or two nice throws late in the game, you wont put much stock in the "comebacks."

Example: Bengals game. Alex dinked and dunked his way to about 150 yards through 3+ quarters of football and led the Niners to a grand total of THREE points. Multiple 3 and outs, terrible 3rd down conversion rate, etc. Then the Bengals went ahead by a FG with 9 minutes left. Alex got the ball back and was helped by chunk rushing plays and a HUGE Vernon Davis play where Alex checked down to him and Davis broke for 20+ yards. Then Kendall Hunter runs the ball in for the go ahead touchdown.

And THAT is one of the "comebacks" Alex was credited for. See my point?

And yes, Alex had a good game against the Saints in the playoffs. But won it by himself? Laughable comment. No QB in the history of football can be credited for "winning a game by himself" when said QB's defense forced FIVE turnovers that game.

They also gave up the lead via 2 TDs within the FINAL FOUR MINUTES of the game, only to have Alex Smith drive down the field for a TD to answer BOTH times. First time that has ever happened in a playoff game.

You are off to a good start this morning. A bit chippy too.

Tony Romo is great as long as the game isn't on the line. He is the biggest choke artist in the NFL, and has lost a lot of games for the Cowboys with stupid mistakes under pressure at key points in the game. I'd take Alex Smith over him any day of the week.

I thought Peyton was the biggest choke artist in the NFL. Now I'm so confused.

In all seriousness, Romo is flat inconsistent. I wouldn't want a QB like him that could kill me at any time and likely the worst time. I would actually take Alex over Romo, and it is not like I think Alex is a top QB. Yes, he is just a journeyman, a game manager, but he is consistent and he is not likely to throw the game away.

I would take Alex over Romo or Cutler. I'm not so sure about Stafford. I think the jury is out on him yet.

"Any time you get an opportunity like that, you expect to hit it," Smith told reporters after the playoff defeat, per The Kansas City Star. "The tough part is all week we so many reps, (and) obviously with Jamaal (Charles) getting all of those, it's just something we have never repped with Cyrus."

Gray acknowledged that he momentarily slowed his stride on the route, but Smith told the room: "You've still got to hit it."

Always said Alex is solid middle tier, 15-18th-ish, so I put Romo and Cutler lower than that.
