Channeling the 2012 version of Alex Smith

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9plNqVr2qRo -- definitely the best 8 games played by Smith in his career, stuff we haven't seen on a routine basis

In 8.5 games he threw for 13 TD's , QB rating 102, QBR 68 , 70% completion. Only 26 pass attempts/game yet put up a 6% TD rate (highest as a Chief was 4.5%)

There are 2 clear differences 1) He had great pocket protection and stayed in it more frequently (runs thru progressions routinely) 2) He really trusted options 3-5 to go after the ball (Manningham, Walker, Moss). I think Hill and Conley have built a good amount of trust thus far (but not holding my breath on Harris and Wilson)


Comparing his weapons then and now:
Maclin = Crabtree (push)
T Hill, Conley > Manningham, Moss
Kelce > Davis
Harris << Delanie Walker
Albert Wilson = Kyle Williams (push)
Spencer Ware (4.3 ypc, 3 tds) < Frank Gore (4.7 ypc, 8 tds)
Charcandrick West (3.3 ypc) < Kendall Hunter (5.2 ypc)
Anthony Sherman = Bruce Miller (push)
KC O-Line < San Fran O-line


I think Smith has most of the weapons in place for 2017. If we want bigger plays then we should draft a lineman in round 3 to compete for the center or guard position. We can also look for a versatile RB to be the back-up to Ware cause West is clearly not getting the job done.

Is there any doubt that Tigger is a troll?

****, what do I care? Let the troll troll!~

[ThaVirus]

He's a 13 year vet who never quite put it together. His best days are behind him.

We know everything we need to know about him, namely that winning anything of import with him under center will be exceedingly difficult.

So....Tigeruppercut bitches about Alex Smith bashing....and then creates another Alex Smith thread so that he can bitch about people inevitably bitching about Alex Smith.

Makes total ****ing sense. Perfectly logical.

Yup....

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

You're part of the problem. If you can't have a thoughtful discussion or address the OP, consider yourself guilty of trolling/derailing thread.

Don't like it? Then don't post. Stop reading. Kthxbye.

[notorious]

Teams have spent 1.1, 2.2, and a 2.24 for Alex ****ing Smith in his career.


LET THAT SINK IN, IF JUST FOR A MOMENT.

Ha maybe it's that you are the problem and nobody likes you?

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

Again, to address the 16 year old teenage girl, this is not a popularity contest. If you want to roll in here and derail the thread, you're violating the TOS. Just because there are 3 other uneducated morons that do it too, doesn't make it okay.

Just stating the facts.

Respect the TOS.

Holy shit your old brain really is failing you. San Fran thus didn't lose much in respect to draft picks if they returned two 2nd rounders to salvage their 1.1

San Fran lost everything.

They picked a guy that was boo'd off the field over Aaron ****ing Rodgers

Great.

There is no mythical quantum leap for Alex waiting to happen. He is who he is at this point. Even if he had the 2003 Chiefs o-line he isn't going to magically turn into some QB that is capable of putting the team on his back week in and week out.

25th on third down? Brutally bad.

Same old shitty quarterback.

And he'll never be that "good" again. Four seasons is a lifetime ago. He's on a clear decline.

Adios.

****ing bull shit.


Alex Smith needs to step up his game or get out of the way to someone who can, preferably a draft pick that can get better over the years to build around.

I wonder why?

By derailing do you mean the post I made wishing for a QB to show up next year and play like he did at the top of his game ? Pretty sure that's exactly what you did in the OP.

Andy and Dorsey know it's time to end the Alex project. Glad they are running this franchise.
