Andy Reid on Mike & Mike: "Alex is our quarterback by the way"

[pugsnotdrugs19]

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.

EDIT
Watch maclin just stand there in that clip.

He knows over 10 yards no throw, more likely to get the ball at the line of scrimmage

Hill was going deep eh?

Pure straight line speed and got open. Alex missed him clearly.

He sees him open and makes that throw, that's a easy touchdown.

Alex Smith

Damn. He didn't give enough time for that play to develop with Hill. Plus he didn't have his eyes focused down the field where they should've been. Because he didn't execute those two factors; that prevented him from setting his feet properly.

The real difference here is a lack of poise, patience, vision and mechanics. Because Alex Smith let's the pressure get to him, all those things go to waste. Result, dead play.

I like how some people just post bad passes or wide open guys. Why not post some of Alex's clutch throws? No, you wouldn't dare go against your agenda to undermine him, would you?

The Chiefs were 20th in offense, 19th in passing and 18th in offensive points per game thanks to Alex and his clutch throws.

All that shit we post is evidence of why we ****ing suck at passing and scoring.

Get a clue.

Wow, he put up a whole 17 points from that game

[BossChief]

That Pittsburgh game was the end of my backing of Alex Smith.

The whole offense is built on forcing teams to spend all of their resources on stopping the quick passes and making the sure tackle, so it opens up the deeper throws and the scheme had worked perfectly against Pittsburgh and Alex was scared to take the shots that the defense was literally giving him.

That gif of Hill running wide open was one of at least 2 times that happened in the game. Tomlin KNEW Smith wasn't going to take those shots, so he cheated corners and backers up all game long to blitz and keyed his defense on the short stuff.

Alex Smith simply refused to make that defense pay by being agressive and we lost the game because of it.

It's as simple as that.

That gif pisses me off every time I watch it because you can clearly see Alex never even looks at Hill. He simply doesn't trust himself to make the throw.

Watch his helmet...he immediately looks at Maclin and the. Scans to see the defender cheating and looking to break up the pass....never even looks at Hill.

For a QB to win a superbowl, he needs to ability to diagnose coverage. Smith should have seen presnap that it was zone and that he had to get the ball to either Maclin or Hill unless the safety cheated over...once the safer stayed put and the corner sat on Maclins route, he NEEDS to have the anticipation to just throw it up to Hill.

I'm surprised the other gif hasn't been posted, Hill was wide open like that twice. You could see it clear as day from the stands.

And im 24, have a family, have 2 degree's working on getting my masters for criminal justice. Im not dumb, But I also didn't know this was a forum where I needed to focus on my spelling or put perfect sentences together to be granted a pass on being able to have a conversation. If your criteria for being smart is what you posted above, then 99% of the people on this board should be on your ignore or not talk to list (if thats even possible) since no one here uses proof read English on every post... I have red lines all over my post because of my lazy english since I prefer to be laid back when not in a professional setting, or when im simply ****ing around on my computer talking football, obviously you seem to think otherwise.

I don't need your CV.

And I'll stop posting altogether if there ever comes a time I judge people based exclusively on their opinions. There are extremely bright people on here that I disagree with often. There are feral morons that agree with me just as often.

You don't get to come into a thread that's more than a week old whirling your dick around like a party favor, calling the discussion 'reeruned' and not expect significant backlash. And when someone resorts to base-level responses to disputes, I'm absolutely going to just assume they lack the intellect to do better than that. Far more often than not, I'll be correct.

As for 'lazy english' - eh, typing is stream of consciousness. It's no harder to type coherently/correctly than it is to do so poorly.

If you want me to stop calling you stupid, stop acting like a slobbering cretin and I'll consider it. Until then, all I can speak to is what you post and what I responded to has all the earmarks of a mouth-breather.

Smith's performance against Pittsburgh lost him Boss, Dane and Me, three of his more vocal supporters over the last 2-3 years.

And some folks are still confused as to why many of us are eager for a new direction.

This isn't the 'Smith-haters' fueling a mob, folks. These are some of the more level-headed posters when it comes to Alex Smith in the recent past that have given up on him.

That absolutely has to say something, doesn't it? To make a political analogy, the dude's lost the swing states.

You haven't been paying attention.

At this point it's clear as day Alex has declined significantly from where he was even in 2015.
His running is no more, his arm strength won't get better, his accuracy won't get better and he's never been a type of leader that leads the entire team.

2015 was Alex's highest peak with this team and 2016 is the highest peak we'll see with him at QB.

The excuses are just that at this point: excuses. The OL is a top pass blocking unit, Kelce was the best TE in the league, Maclin looked like the old Maclin in the playoff game and Hill is a monster.

It sucks that the defense has to be the 2000 Ravens and the offense can't make 1 mistake in order for us to even have a chance to win.
It would be nice to have a QB carry the team for once.
