How Alex Smith and the Chiefs turned a season around
 

Great article about Smith and the nuanced aspect of his game that is overlooked by many.

If anyone reads this and still can't fathom why people like Alex Smith, then nothing is ever going to change their mind. He is the ultimate team player.

who honestly cares about people like that..

It's been much quieter on the front lately. And not just because Stop, Chiefs is 'gone'. I understood the frustration, but not the patience.

It's nice to see the positive press the Chiefs are receiving. This one is really great and has me pumped. Starting to get that "Royal" feeling.

It's been discussed ad nasium. It gets wearing when some posters here praise him as something Alex isn't.

I think they praise him for what he is. He is what he is and, according to the article, perfect for KC.

When his followers intimate that he's a Franchise QB which they often do then it becomes delusions of grandeur.

He's too hesitant and plays not to lose, which is the reason he can't keep up with the elite QBs in the league when it's a high scoring game.

Still doesn't change the changes culture in Kc or the stabilization of the position. If that's you're only gripe then it isn't a very strong one as he wins a lot of games regardless of your fact

I'm watching it happen right in front of my eyes. This team isn't built that way and that is not on Alex Smith. He IS our franchise QB. You want a high flying QB, you gotta get a new coach first.

56% overall.

In the WC, it is centered on the QB," checkdowns or touchdowns." Steve Young/ Montana had enough of that killer instinct to push it downfield for the calculated risk. Remember the MNF game in '94 against Elway.

Alex doesn't have that mentality.

I'm absolutely seeing that mentality emerging. He was running the called plays before with little deviation. It's not like he can say '**** you Coach, I'm going deep".

Now he has more leeway and the difference is striking. IMO. We'll see.

This. It's not like he took deep shots in our last playoff game or anything...

**** Alex Smith

Apparently one of Alex's many faults is that he didn't tap you on the head when he was getting ready to explode his hot demon seed down your pie hole.
