So you admit that this regular season elite roster was no longer elite come playoff time. Alex Smith played well in that New England game in Foxboro. A 1 score loss in those circumstances when we should have been blown out by 20

I admit that the front 7 was battered with injuries and they ran into a Steelers run game that they could no longer hope to contain. I admit that the secondary did a hell of a job that night and the defense as a whole in the red zone. They gave up 18 points. On a bad night. To a really good offense.

And Alex Smith still couldn't put together just a few drives for the win. Against an average defense. Which Brady absolutely shat on the following week. I cannot justify Smith not scoring 19 points with KCs weapons against those zone defenses. It's not all his fault, but much was offensively. Run game improvement would be nice, but would take care of itself with a legitimate passing game threat.

I also really doubt that if Chiefs executives were soured on Smith they'd tell other teams about it, how the **** would you ever get a trade partner or protect your draft position if you ran your goddamned mouth about what your intentions were?

Thanks

Here's a thought, go **** yourself.

[RunKC]

$17.8 million for 15 passing TD's all year and a 1 TD/1 INT 172 yards, 69.7 QB rating in the playoffs with Hill, Maclin, Kelce and Conley to throw to.

Alex did a great job proving he was the most suffocating detriment to our cap last season.

But it's Smith's fault! He can't throw and catch the ball. And play defense.

FFS man

Ya, Alex really tore it up in the playoff game this year...

Alex Smith cost this team 2 games that would've gave KC the shot at a number 1 seed.

This is a bigger cock-tease than an old high school girlfriend.

Where is the "Gentlemen start your boners" quote in this thread?

Alex Smith out of here? YAS!

Don't tease yourselves, fellas. Smith is due a large bonus sometime in March, well before the draft. The Chiefs are not ditching Smith before they have a suitable (in their opinion) replacement on hand.

When does anyone think Dallas would cut Romo, anyway? After Smith's roster bonus? Once the Chiefs pay Smith that bonus, you can forget anything other than more handoffs, checkdowns and unnecessary scrambles in 2017.

At this point, the best you can hope for is a stellar defensive draft in 2017. Build a top 3 defense and a top 10 run game and you might drag Alex to the Super Bowl. Outside of that, you are looking at Smith in '17 and maybe a young guy in '18.

Maybe they are thinking about Romo, but can't do anything until he gets cut. I'm sure they dont want to lose another pick for tampering.

There's no way Romo ends up in KC, though.

They did not. They gave him the backup spot and down played that the whole time. It was discussed over and over on here.

Wouldn't it be better for us to give up say a 4th round pick than to sign him as a FA? We could avoid guaranteed $$ in case Romo gets hurt.
I don't want Romo but it just seems better for us if we were to do a trade deal instead of getting into a bidding situation and having to lose guaranteed $ on Romo.

No team will be signing Romo to a deal that isn't heavily incentive based, from all that I've seen this past week.
