Chiefs How similiar of QBs are Alex Smith and Russell Wilson? - Page 4

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....

But throwing the ball down the field means nothing!

I have to admit, my first thought on the TD throw in OT was...no ****ing way Alex throws that pass.

Yes a clear example of Alex pretending to be something he is not for once.

Bombs more like medium deep passes

This is the shit that Andrew Luck does all the the time and gets praised. Now, we'll likely hear about how Seattle's defense dragged Wilson to this win.

If you throw 4 INTs and have 5 turnovers overall and the opposing team still only scores 19 points, it's more on the defense.

Exactly the same guy, minus one actually being clutch when it matters.

I've said many times... Alex Smith's style of play would be fine, if he could just close games.

Russell Wilson closes games. Alex Smith does not.

That's the big, big difference between these 2 QBs.

Because Alex has never lost a game when the defense played well.

Forcing yourself into situations where you have to close games is not good. It's not like his defense is allowing 30+ forcing him to score a lot. The defense allowed 19 points mostly off his mistakes. You shouldn't be congratulated for cleaning up messes that you made.

He would have lost the game had the Packers not screwed up the onside

Good holy Jeebus... people told me I had a weird obsession with Alex.. yet some of you can't get him out of your mouth for any length of time.

You know he will be your QB in 2015. Just deal with it like men and see what happens, instead of wailing like lil girls.

GO CHIEFS

RunKC said Russell was like the 9th best player on his own team. Really quality posts in the NFCCG game thread.
