What's the biggest problem with the Chiefs offense?

I know there has been a lot of talk about this topic and I just want to see what the majority of the people here think the biggest issue is that causes the offense to underperform.

How many years do the Chiefs have to draft OL in the top 5 for you guys to realize it isn't the ****ing oline?

I voted for the OL but the more I have thought about this I would like to change my vote. To me it all comes back to COACHING.
Our OL has not improved in fact they have regressed or at least cannot play consistently.- COACHING
Our play calling has been very subject.- COACHING
Our WRs are not playing very well and the young guys have not really improved much.- COACHING
Alex Smith-COACHING....Reid had to have him.

As basically everyone else has already said, it isn't just one thing.

And most of the problems are the kind that make the other problems even worse.

Offensive line is the obvious choice, so I picked the #2 reason - play calling.

No, everyone that has a functioning brain thinks that Alex Smith is a problem. He's going to get hammered because he plays the most important position in all of sports, is the face of your franchise, and makes the most money of anyone on the team. He certainly isn't part of the solution for this team.

He deserves all the shit slung his way.

Gauging an offensive line that blocks for Jamaal Charles is tough to do. He's ****ing amazing. This line is absolute shit and yet he still averages 5.2 YPC. Off the top of my head, the only back with a higher YPC average is Forsett.

Knile Davis is averaging less than 4 YPC behind the same line.

If the "alex haters" really bother you that much, then you might be looking specifically for their responses in order to react to them. I know I do that sometimes (re: other topics).

Yeah, Jamaal would make any line look like a competent run-blocking unit. Although, I do love Reid continually trying to kill his effectiveness by slamming him up the middle over and over.

The pass-protection for this group is just horrifyingly bad at times. There's no denying that. Dorsey thought that his #1 pick and Alex could work it all out this season apparently. Good call.

Those guys are having to deal with 8 and 9 men in the box every week.
This is what I keep coming back to. Do people think an OL actually solves our problems on offense? If the answer is no, then they're not the main part of the problem.

The problem is that Alex Smith plays down to the competition and he has no ability to close games. If the defense gives up 30, he'll put up 30. If they give up 15, he'll put up 15. The biggest problem with the offense is that the defense is good. That sounds backwards as **** so I'll just then chalk it up to the QB that for some reason needs his back to the wall to actually play aggressively.

It's the damnedest thing.

Reid never sends DAT up the middle. Every time that guy gets a carry its outside the tackles.

It'd be nice if he mixed it up for Jamaal and ran him outside more often.

That's because most teams that know what they are doing would walk a safety down into the wide side alley and make jamaal run in between the tackles. They know how bad our oline is, and how Alex will take the safe (short) read, so why not stack the box? This is why Andy tries to throw so much and CP jumps in with the 'horrendous playcall' BS..

Amazing that Reid won't continue what works.

These.

Around here the offensive line has been the go to for years... "casual fans always point to the QB, but I'm smart and know it all starts with the offensive line!"

Of course, they are that terrible this year.
