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.

Bowe did score the first TD and broke a long one that put us at the 1 yard line.
.. Yet people love to bash him for his performance. And why? Because, ultimately, he didn't get the job done. Same with Alex. |

In this game, Alex Smith made the right throw on the final play of the game. Dwayne Bowe did not execute. Smith opened and closed the door. Bowe did not close the door. Pretty easy. Even with that aside... this game is the exception where I throw my golden rule aside. The QB performance was so stellar in that game that the final drive shouldn't have had to even happen. And no, I don't think Bowe is owed that same luxury. The QB position is far more crucial. And Alex Smith's 2 mistakes (30 passes, 8 rushes) is a lot easier to forgive than Bowe's 2 mistakes (3rd down drive killed, 4th down and final play) out of 8 receptions. |

First of all, we're talking about a playoff game vs. a meaningless game. Secondly, I'm not the one who brought up the Indy game. It was brought up to somehow discount Alex Smith as a QB. I'm not a fan of Alex Smith. But anyone bringing up his playoff performance to in any way influence an argument that he isn't good is just ridiculous. There are lots of reason to not like Alex Smith. Leave the playoff performance out of it. |

I would much rather a QB who can nail it in the 4th quarter than a QB who plays solid 3 quarters and is horrible in the 4th. In most games, Alex Smith has been a terrible closer for the Chiefs. In this one game, he did his job in the 4th. |

You're right.
Alex Smith: 39-19 record last 4 years They play the same role really...game managers on elite caliber teams. Wilson can throw it downfield better. That's really the only big difference.

So if a hall of fame QB can't pull off a 40+ point win, then what QB should be expected to? Alex Smith did everything he could to win in this game. Period. It is absolutely ridiculous to say that anything short of going 35-35, Alex Smith was imperfect. That's ****ing impossible. The standard is, did Alex Smith play at the level you'd expect from Brady, Rodgers, Montana, Elway... the answer is "yes" by a mile. And for crying out loud, I am not an Alex Smith fan. I've been a huge critic of his. I just can't stand this shit where people are so unreasonably critical that they'll find tiny holes in a game where he did his job. |
