Chiefs Andy Reid on Mike & Mike: "Alex is our quarterback by the way" - Page 14

pugsnotdrugs19 · 01-26-2017, 09:10 AM

Don't want to read too much into the conversation but just watched Andy on M&M this morning and he made it clear that Alex was the QB. Mentioned that he could still play, was at the Pro Bowl (

), and can do all the things he wants his guy to do.

In essence, we can put any talk of Tony Romo, Nick Foles, or any other retread to bed. But, they did talk about college system QBs briefly (no one specific), and he said that as long as they feel like a guy can learn, it is their job to transition a college system QB and that it doesn't effect their decision on which type to take.

So, will we draft a QB? Idk, my bet is on yes since Foles is apparently gone.

You new at this Chiefs thing?

Oh, you are talking about someone elses high draft pick! Kind of like Alex, 1.1

Funny how the top two teams are in the superbowl but some moron wanted to use the stat to discredit Smith's ability...

Those offenses and QBs get more out of their YAC plays than the Chiefs do, though.

The Chiefs are getting YAC on dinks and dunks.

The Falcons and Pats are getting YAC on passes thrown down the field.

Passes completed beyond 10 yards

Matt Ryan - 92 (5.75 per game)
Tom Brady - 76 (6.3 per game)
Alex Smith - 52 (3.25 per game)

Air yards per attempt:

Matt Ryan - 3rd
Tom Brady - 12th
Alex Smith - 31st

Yards per completion

Matt Ryan - 1st
Tom Brady - 6th
Alex Smith - 25th

Touchdown passes

Matt Ryan - 2nd
Tom Brady - 7th
Alex Smith - 27th

Offensive points per game

Atlanta - 1st
New England - 3rd
Chiefs - 18th

But what about their offensive line?

But what about their offensive weapons?

But what about the playcallers?

Andy telling that to Carr at the pro bowl should signify one shining beam of hope: Dorsey is scouting QB's hard just like every position we've seen him look to upgrade since he was hired.

Dorsey is scouting these guys every year and Andy isn't wanting to take them unless they are mid round projects. This is 100% on Andy

That comment isn't a beam of hope, it's the sign of a loser franchise.

Alex hadn't been signed to an extension at the time of the 2014 draft. He was getting ready to enter the final year of his deal.

That was the PERFECT time to take Carr.

Christ, even if Alex WAS locked up for another year or two at the time - a winning franchise takes that franchise guy when he's available. Green Bay had arguably one of the best QB's in NFL history on their roster, still playing at an elite level, and they STILL took Aaron Rodgers.

They won a Lombardi because of it, and they are a SB contender every year regardless of how the rest of the team performs because Rodgers puts them on his back and carries them year after year.

Defenses can easily game plan to take away the Chiefs running game and force Alex Smith to pass downfield, which they know he's too pussy to do most of the time.

Exactly.

The Chiefs DEPEND on YAC. When they don't get it, the offense sputters.

Brady can and does stretch the field, which gets defenders out of the box.

WOOF.

Pissing in the ****ing wind.

Love this team...can't stand a critical component of it. I can't tell if it is maddening or apathy inducing or both at the same time.

Listen, Mugsy, you reeruned ass clown. All I did was support someone's assumption that the Chiefs led the league in YAC, which they did. I'm sorry that your reading comprehension remains at a third grade level. Find something useful to do as you sit behind your cushy, government-issued PC rather than doing no work once again. If you think for one ****ing second that anyone here believes you aren't BlackBob/Mugsy, you're sadly mistaken. It's incredibly easy to post from your government PC and home PC to make it look like separate IPs, but you're the same reerun you've always been.

And if by some ****ing miracle you're not him, then you're brothers or kindred spirits. You don't reach that level of stupid by accident. ****, even the Coalition banned Mugsy. ****.

I can't argue any of this. What's sad is that Andy and John are from GB and know this better than anyone.

Andy really does think Alex can win the SB, and that's the problem.

Andy would never go on tv so early in the off season and say a negative but I don't like hearing it and none of us should be happy to hear it at all.

CP is wayyyyy to fixed up with this "we need to groom our OWN QB" fantasy... This wish is going to happen later than you are hoping, but sooner than you probably realistcally think. After Alex smith we will be starting our own groomed QB that we drafted under Reid, im 99% sure of it in my own mind... However, Alex isnt going anywhere for the next 4 years or so if not maybe 5-6... But we will be drafting a QB in rounds 2-3 in 4 years from now, but the constant bitching about how we need to draft one right now just isnt going to happen because alex is a solid starting QB and Reid loves him and knows he can win the big one with him. If that sentence alone makes you hate my post and w.e else so be it, but its the truth, and usually people hate hearing the truth when it isnt the truth they want.

There are literally 3 people on the planet that believe this at this point. You. Tigger. Andy Reid.

That's where most reasonable fans are, especially fans who were Chiefs fans prior to Alex. It gets you frustrated at first, then down right angry. But after a while you just say "**** it, they won't change it and there's nothing I can do about it". So you continue to support the team, while being critical of poor performers (you can do both), and hope they someday figure it out.

Alex was the best choice when they went out and got him, several better choices have passed us by since then. Let's hope they don't continue to pass us by or we are stuck as a perennial playoff team who will not go to the Super Bowl.

Dude come on... He got elected to the pro bowl this year, that alone beat out 20 other QB's... Everyone around the league says hes a solid Starting QB.. so stop being dramatic..... I think what i said is a very fair point to both sides of this stupid reeruned QB argument u all have going on
