Alex was the 14th highest paid QB last year and was bottom of the barrel in yards and TD's.
Denver's 7th rd QB put up similar numbers and only made 538k

Here's the bottom line for me, until we find a QB who is GUARANTEED to beat Brady reliably by himself, the rest is just grousing about fate.
No use wailing and gnashing teeth over Alex. He's not so expensive that the team suffers and we won't cost you games. All this agita about elite? franchise? mediocre? serviceable? awful? is a waste of time. Either you can smoke Brady, or you cannot smoke Brady. And good luck with all that. I'm not some blind apologist, just a realist about 1) how interconnected team success is [regardless of how some think everything hinges on the QB] and 2) how rare the elite QB is. Now, if you want to have a conversation about scout and trainers. We can talk. |

Smiff has quite simply peaked, in order to beat Brady in the AFCCG you first have to get to the AFCCG... and Alex isnt taking us there I'm sick and tired of watching that guy leave big plays on the field in favor of the safe and short throws his arm works best for I've seen enough I've had enough |

I know it's spilled milk at this point, but it sure would've been nice to see this team with a healthy Charles the last couple of seasons...No doubt we would've been more effective on offense.
Because Chiefs.... edit:just so many games he didn't get to play in, just like Houston. Game changing players. Last edited by stevieray; 01-28-2017 at 04:55 PM.. |

In fact, they had the #1 ranked running game by DVOA standards in 2015. It did us no good. Because Alex Smith. |

Close enough.
According to QBR, the ESPN metric that is the bedrock of TU's Alex Smith defense - this statline - 12/17 for 186 yards, 3 TD, 2 INT... Is worthy of a 99.9 QBR. A tenth of a point from perfection. I think we can quit taking Tiger's arguments seriously at this point - assuming any of us were before. |
