How similiar of QBs are Alex Smith and Russell Wilson?
Since everyone here loves Wilson so much.....
Admittedly Russell throws a better deep ball, but IMO they are fairly similar. Not flashy, don't throw for a ton of yards, use their feet to move the chains, protect the football and play smart. Discuss.... http://www.pro-football-reference.co...m?mobile=false http://www.pro-football-reference.co...S/SmitAl03.htm |

And again.. 8-8 on third downs against Carolina. Excellent 4th quarter / ot performance. Hard to take that away, I don't care how bad his start was against GB. |

Russell played a great game against KC ... people do realize that making the correct reads on read option running is imperative, right?

16/25 215 yards 1 TD 38.9 QBR those were his stats in the Saints and 49ers playoff games to get them to the SB. That's Alex Smith type production. Do you disagree? Meanwhile Alex puts up 4 TD's/0 INT's and 378 passing yards and an 81.9 QBR and lost. The difference is surrounding talent. It makes quite a bit of difference. Same way Rex Grossman got to the SB.

I love Russel wilson, but right now, Lynch makes that offense go.
Will be interesting to see the evolution of it becoming more Wilson's after lynch is gone |

Everything he says is right, like that we should have drafted Geno

it's embarrassing to even pretend they do...repeat: Alex Smith has nothing in common with the QB going to his second straight superbowl in the 3rd year of his career Alex Smith is a nobody...a mid-level nobody whose spent more years being a bust than he has years being a mid-level nobody Chiefs fans and QBs will never not be painful to watch

But as to the thread?
Yeah, they may put up similar numbers, but they aren't alike. One is a playmaker at the qb position, one isnt. |

Geno would STILL have been a better pick...

Wilson has more input into his teams wins than Smith does

Both are game managers. The biggest difference is clutch play. Wilson makes the throws. All of them. He's sick-reerun-g00d as the pressure mounts. Smith $#its his pants. Not all (Smith's) fault but he elevates NO ONE. Wilson ELEVATES HIS GAME when it matters....

He's not the reason they are where they are. Yes he's a good QB, but that team runs behind the defense and running game.
Running game sets up Wilson

there is a long and glorious history of chiefs fans comparing their shitty QBs to Superbowl QBs...
remember when people used to compare thigpen and rothlessburger? good times... Chiefs fan watching the superbowl: "Hey, our QB is just like that guy!"
