This same offense was run by Young, Favre, Montana, and Rodgers. They all had no problems seeing the deep man and hitting them when they were open. Quote:
Smith is in no way comparable to any of the QB's above...

Alex Smith definitely regressed this year. It's easy to look around and find one stat he did better in and keep pointing it out. |

Dude actually stepped in his own trap. Of course YAC is important in this scheme and that's exactly why Alex Smith really isn't. It's exactly why the Chiefs would've been equally effective with Trevor Siemien under center and exactly why they could bring in a fairly limited but much cheaper QB to operate this offense and use the money to upgrade elsewhere. Reid runs a QB friendly system so why do we need to spend $18 million to retain a QB who can barely clear such a low bar? Alternatively, they could bring in a more talented, more aggressive passer and actually open the system up a bit, as Reid has shown a willingness to do with guys like Vick in the past. The excuse before this season was that Smith never had a 'throw it up and let him run under it' player like DeSean Jackson. Well he damn sure does now and yet we still didn't open up the offense. If the Chiefs had a guy that was willing to take shots downfield, Andy would call them more. And with a receiver like Hill showing elite speed and premium ball-tracking skills, they'd hit. I think Reid will move on sooner rather than later.

In today's 'exercise in selection bias' you'll see that quarterbacks in their mid/late 30s tend to play fairly well.
And why? Because quarterbacks that are still playing in their mid/late 30s tended to be absolute badasses in their late 20s and early 30s. That's why they're still around and getting paid big-money veteran contracts as they've aged out of their physical primes. The mediocre placeholders? Those guys are gone by 35 and why the samples for quarterbacks in their late 30s are going to be pretty good. This is going to be an outstanding example of selection bias.
