MELLINGER: Should The Chiefs Move On From Smith?

Yep, another Alex Smith thread - but a solid and fair read from Sam Mellinger.

Quote:
The only way forward is through brutal honesty and realistic self-evaluation. No sport moves as quickly, or with such little empathy, as the NFL.

Only fools assume what happened in the past will continue to happen in the future, unless that assumption is “the Patriots will win every year from now until armageddon because Bill Belichick is an alien.”

And so it is that this particular group of Chiefs players and executives attempt to solve a puzzle that no group of Chiefs players and executives has solved since 1970, which is so long ago CBS erased the tape to save money:

Get to the Super Bowl.

And it’s hard to believe that will happen without addressing the quarterback situation.

This is not a call for the Chiefs to walk away from Alex Smith, even though this is the first offseason since his arrival in which they could do it without a fatal salary cap hit. This is a call for them to look, to try, to make sure they don’t have access to a better option — whether that’s Tony Romo in a trade, Deshaun Watson in the draft (which would almost certainly require a trade up), or anything else.

It's pretty clear that Tyreek was aggressively used as a decoy early in this game. My sense is, he was sent on the pattern with instructions to operate as a decoy, probably to draw the FS, which he got at least a strong lean out of him [though Kelce contributed to that as well]. The RB out of the backfield running to the top of the screen was probably designed to do a more aggressive fly pattern, and Alex ranged right to set up for a pass over the man coverage, without the FS in danger of ranging over.

Should we have an offensive system where Tyreek AND Smith instinctively know that when he's coming that wide open to ditch the decoy pretense and go with it? Perhaps.

Was the RB wrong to sit down as long as he did under the coverage before running fly? He's opening wide, as wide as Reek on the other side, when Smith runs out of real estate.

Was the play that resulted due to Smith being locked in to Reek being a decoy, or was it Smith being convinced that Reek would not be ready for a pass since he went out as a decoy? Who knows.

But I don't think it was a brain fart or a panic. Smith was designed to roll out right. Only the spy was tracking him down too fast, and the RB ran past coverage too late.
The RB sat down because that was probably his route. He took off when Smith scrambled.

So you're saying that Alex Smith isn't a 4 time Super Bowl winning QB?

Interesting.

If Smith actually were Rodgers, I can totally see everything in that play transpiring the same as it did, except Rodgers would have floated a touch pass over the coverage to the RB breaking free.

I'm not saying there weren't mistakes made, just that the mistakes weren't necessarily Alex missing how open Tyreek was, or him panicking and improvising a scramble that wasn't by design.

I like that this franchise traded a 1st round pick for Trent Green instead of using it on Drew Brees. And it also seems they F'd up trading 2 2nd round picks instead of using one on Derek Carr.

But those couple seasons where we lost a playoff game sure were awesome.

Nick Foles would have definitely made that throw. Albert Wilson isn't even OPEN when he lets this loose.




And here's a play with a free rusher right in Foles breadbasket. 49 yards of PURE BALLS.



You want a guy to make that throw to Ty?

HE'S ON THE ROSTER.

I don't think he saw Hill. He stares at Maclin at the snap...

Foles may not be much, but he doesn't play like a bitch.

Good on him.

Maybe multiple bannings for acting like a ****?
