I'll be honest, I haven't watched a ton of Alex Smith, especially in his first five years, but what I've seen goes against your ideas on his accuracy. I'm sure he's had his share of wild passes, and he doesn't have a great deep ball, but the numbers recently don't back you up. He takes too many sacks and has an average arm. Those are his weaknesses as I see.

How's that Stanzi thing working out for you, QB genius?

I guess it would make sense for you to explain where he is lacking as a QB. Or which QB's in the last 10 drafts would be ranked ahead of him.

Its my opinion, nothing more, but I think Geno will take years to figure it out at the NFL level. |

Someone on one of the NFL draft sites said something interesting. He said the Chiefs are the best team I can remember to have the first overall pick. This is a good roster, but it'll need significant turnover in three or so years. It think that's why Reid and Dorsey are taking the approach the seem to be taking. Reid isn't trying to rebuild the team, he's trying to strengthen its weak points and win now. I'm not saying they won't draft Geno, but I don't think they're willing to take lumps as he learns. He'll have to do his learning off the field.

And I think that's a good thing. They bring in Alex Smith to immediately help reverse a "culture of losing" problem that rapidly developed under Pissholi. He's a solid QB. He's capable of putting wins on the board, especially at home. This team needs that. And by drafting Geno, it provides a foundation for the future of this team once that systemic negativity is removed. This Chiefs team reminds me a lot of the 49er's team prior to the arrival of Harbaugh. A ton of talent but they got caught up in the negativity of having idiots and egocentric assholes in managerial positions. Neither Dorsey nor Reid are that type of guy and many players have already stated that both are guys who you want to play for because you have to earn their respect versus demanding you respect them for no other reason than the title on their business cards. And I firmly believe that when Reid said he was going to help get Alex Smith into the Hall of Fame, it wasn't as a player. The guy has been noted as being a veritable coach on the field and has played through some of the worst situations I've seen a QB been put through during his Niners time. Unless Reid sees Alex Smith as an equivalent to Kurt Warner, I think that the guy is going to make a pretty damn good coach eventually and by working under Reid for the next two years is going to be as good in terms of building his potential as a coach as it will be for building Geno's potential as an All-Pro level quarterback. |

Since I don't care, I'll let you look. While you looking, find out what the league average is of passes beyond 15 yards.
