I Say We Give Alex Smith Just One More Chance

I actually think the better comparison is Brad Johnson. Very similar situations, West Coast offense, short passing game, efficient with the football. Same thing Gruden got out of Rich Gannon.

People are way too hard on Alex, he's not anywhere close to Dilfer. The problem is we have to go through Brady. Their offense isn't the same without Gronk, but don't kid yourself... Brady had 28 TD and 2 INT this year. That's an all-time season. It's going to be a challenge for anyone to go in there and win. That's why it's easy to sit here for people to be cynical and end up right. You basically have to overcome the greatest QB of this generation. Hardly anyone can do that.

And honestly, most of the teams who've beaten Brady have done it because of defense. Peyton Manning was on his last leg last year but their defense was all world. The Giants beat them twice with truly elite defensive performances. Flacco's done it twice, once when he caught absolute fire and had one of the great playoff runs ever.... but the first time he literally went 4/10 for 34 yards passing.

And yes, the board is populated by them. It's so friggen easy to sit around and say "well they'll lose again" and when they do, just say "see, I told you so". And if they defy the odds and win, acting like you get to just ignore years of being that guy and simply blend in with the revelers is the worst kind of hypocrisy.

The Chiefs probably won't win, but you can say that about every team in the dance right now, IMO. Nobody, not even the Patriots, has a better than 50% shot at winning this thing. Hell, mere combined probability in a parity driven league assures that. Every single team in the playoffs is more likely than not to go home empty-handed.

But this team is still damn good. And it's been damn good all year. And it's been pretty good just about every game under Reid/Dorsey/Smith.

And if you've spent the last 4 years just generally being miserable and don't expect to get called out for that, then you're just Dennis Quaid. And yes, you're an asshole.

That's Randy Quaid. Ftr. But your point was well made.

It depends solely on how he plays vs the Steelers. He needs to keep playing like he has been the last 2 weeks, which the offense as a whole looks to have really come on.

I'm just throwing this out there....but damn does DeShaun Watson look like a perfect fit for this offense

The big difference recently has been he has been running again. A conservative QB that rarely turns it over means a lot of 3 and outs unless the QB is prepared to tuck and run. Alex doing that makes one hell of a difference to the Offense

I'm with you to an extent. Posters like clay deserve that label if we win. Few others can be put there as well. Those professing future joy in coming back to say I told you so would qualify. I think it's a small select few. However mr quaid also was one of the few fans in the stands when the team was awful, aka the pioli, herm, ect years. In my book that's something.

So if snr is being put in the "you can't enjoy this category", I couldn't disagree more. Whether he was right about a player or not, stubborn or not, doesn't matter. He was there through it all. Now if the fans in the stands think quaid obnoxious and don't want to celebrate with him, that's a different story.

At this point I'm worried about our run D and lack of pass rush. Get that figured out in the next 2 weeks and I think we have a shot. (Assuming it's Pitt)

Yes, this.

This next game or any single game won't be career defining. I have no doubt that he will go out and at the very minimum, play his role at a B grade level.

Much like the Indy loss.. if Smith has to carry the team's fail and can not, I'm not going to throw much blame his way. He is what he is. A reliable QB that is there to do his part. As a team, others have to get out there and do theirs.

If he gets this team by the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game I will be pro Alex 4 lyfe NWO NEW WORLD ORDER Jimi Hendrix guitar riffs

I will no longer tell fans what it is that they deserve.. that was wrong of me.

... but I sure see their point. You have been almost completely miserable, negative, and shitty in all of your Chiefs posts this season... probably longer..

I can see why people are viewing you and those like you as Cassell in this gif.

They're morons, one and all.

Were winning the Superbowl because of Alex and Andy. I just hope you don't stroke out and miss us hosting the trophy in a few weeks.

Enjoy the ride and let's the pro Alex / realistic Alex fans fight it out ....


He will be a Superbowl mvp and you will miss if you don't calm down.

I don't want Alex Smith because he isn't good enough to win a Super Bowl. That's been my stance all long. I don't want to piss away another talented roster because we have an average QB. Guess we will find out in two weeks who really is right. Or the excuses will come like always like the kicker, or the refs, or the defense, or Bowe, and we just need this to get over the hump.

[Dinny Bossa Nova]

I see a similar path shaping up between Alex Smith and Len Dawson.

One day, we will see that Andy actually HAS found the next Len Dawson.
