yea, I feel for Browns fans.....4 games against two of the best run organizations in football. and the Bengals are fairly well organized the past few years. Tough.

As for the second part, I don't know that I agree. I think the Chiefs are more likely to take a QB at 1.1 if their current roster QB is Matt Cassel. The chances are a lot higher than if they have Alex Smith on their team. Not getting one in FA means they have the intention of getting their starter in the draft, and I can't see Reid and Dorsey risking the start of their reign by playing chicken and risking missing out on the QB they want. |

Tell me who that guy is and I say that is the guy I want. The only thing I know for sure is Cassel is not the guy. Can Smith be the guy? I don't know, but I know Smith might be and I know Cassel is not.

They have almost identical stats despite Cassel starting 13 less games. They're both ass.

Well they need to step up and actually compete then. Pitt and Balt are getting old. I feel no sorrow whatsoever for that piss poor organization. Boo-Hoo.

They aren't the same player. I use to think so, but Smith has turned his game around. I know that means nothing to those that don't want him, but Cassel and Smith are night and day.

Alex Smith: Comp. Att. %. Yards. Avg. TD. INT
1,290 2,177 59.3 14,280 6.6 81 63 Matt Cassel: Comp. Att. %. Yards. Avg. TD. INT 1,203 2,044 58.9 13,495 6.6 82 57 Career Numbers in the exact same amount of years they've played except cassel only attempted 18 passes for 215 yards in his 1st 2 years in the league. Alex Smith didn't play 2008. Not only does cassel have better #'s but in 1 less year. Matt Cassel = 1 Pro Bowl Alex Smith = 0 Pro Bowls Matt Cassel's OC's: 2005 third string = McDaniels 2006 on bench = McDaniels 2007 on bench = McDaniels 2008 starting 15 games = McDaniels 2009 in KC = Haley 2010 = Weiss 2011 = Muir 2012 = Daboll Total = 5 OC's in 5 years being a starter Alex Smith's OC's: 2005 playing 9 games = Mike McCarthy 2006 staring = Norv Turner 2007 starting = Jim Hostler 2008 benched = Mike Martz 2009 starting = Jimmy Raye 2010 starting = jimmy raye, replaced by mike johnson 1/3 thru season 2011 starting = greg roman 2012 starting = greg roman Total = 6 OC's (you could say 7 although i'm sure mike johnson kept everything intact) in 7 years of starting. Now lets look at this a bit deeper. Matt Cassel had 2 OC's that were known to be QB guru's, McDaniel's and Weiss. And under thos OC's he had 2 extrememly good years, 1 sent him to the probowl the other got him several accolades including 2× AFC Offensive Player of the Week (2008) Back to back 400-yard games (2008) USA Today All-Joe team (2008) Now Alex smith had 3 OC's that are known to be QB guru's. Norv, McCarthy, and Martz, And you could even say his new HC Haurbaugh is a QB guru aswell. And smith had 1.5 good seasons before being yanked and replaced. No ProBowls and FedEx Air NFL Player of the Week (week 5, 2012) NFC Offensive Player of the Week (week 8, 2012) Who's better as apposed to worth? alex smith due 8.5 millon in 2013 matt cassel due 7.5 millon in 2013 Matt Cassel in 2010 > Alex Smith in 2011/12 with a good OC and putting the right system around him. Lets compare their quote unquote probowl years shall we? matt cassel's 2010 season : Year,Games Played, Attempts, Comp., Yards, TD, INT, QB Rating..... 2010- 15- 450- 262 -3,116 -27 - 7 - 93.0 Alex Smith's 2011 season : Year,Games Played, Attempts, Comp., Yards, TD, INT, QB Rating..... 2011-16- 445- 273- 61.3- 3144- 17- 5- 90.7 2012-10- 218- 153- 70.2- 1737- 13- 5- 104.1 Was Smith having a better year in 2012? Yes, was it going to be anything more than game manager? No What was the 49ers strength of schedule for the 2011 season? .449 what was the chiefs strength of schedule for the 2010 season? .414 People want the IT factor of a guy that can throw his team on his back and lead them to victory against the tough teams in this league, people ***** about cassel all the time that he can't do this and we can't take peoples backups that don't have the IT factor and can't do that.. Guess what Alex smith is the same guy people ***** they don't want. There is a reason he was benched. He is a game manager that has to have the right system around him, and a strong run game, just like cassel. He was benched for Kaep cause Kaep is a game changing gun slinger that can either run you to victory or throw you to victory. Neither of which alex can do. and he's proved it. Oh and for those that say Smith is a better scrambler. Cassel's carreer #: Att, Yrds, Avg, TD 168 612 3.6 3 Smith's carreer #: Att, Yrds, Avg, TD 212 761 3.58 4 |
