The Starting QB is given the win or loss-so it Has to be part of the discussion.

Your first question is ****ing stupid. Why? Because you're an idiot. That was never said in my post. I said it was ****ing stupid to dismiss Bortles because he didn't will a team with a bad line and no D to the playoffs in his srcond season. Also no, the Chiefs weren't rebuilding when Andy got here. The team was pretty solid, but had a reeruned ass coach/GM and dog shit at QB. The 2012 Chiefs are the blueprint to "If you Don't have a QB, you don't have shit" If the Chiefs were a squad in need of a rebuild, Andy Reid takes the job in Arizona instead. Also your last paragraph is reeruned projecting. My post was all about your complete dismissal of Bortles because of your dumb **** metric. |

Barring injury-if Alex has another descent year including a playoff win- the chance of them yanking him in favor of a rookie is zero imo. |

Obviously the Players that voted on the Top 100 must think winning is part of the equation-which is what Alex did last year-10 in a row. My guess is they know more than an ignorant troll like you. That is great that you love Bortles so much that you come running to his defense when you think I was slamming him- but like I said he had a great year so what? Jags suck and so do you. |

In 2014, he cut Brandon Flowers and allowed Jon Asamoah, Tyson Jackson, Kendrick Lewis, Jerrell Powe, Dexter McCluster and Brandon Albert to walk. That's a 49% roster turnover from January 2013 to August 2014. I'd say that's a rebuild. |

He's not asked to make challenging throws, there isn't a lot of pre snap motion which requires micromanagement from the signal caller, and he obviously isn't a field general type of guy a la Peyton Manning. He can run the ball well, which separates him from a good number of other starters, but only when he doesn't see a receiver open (or it's a hail Mary situation) and Reid never takes full advantage of his abilities with the occasional bootleg. If Jake Plummer could make defenses look foolish with a play call that seemed telegraphed much of the time, why can't the ostensibly superior QB in Smith do so as well?

They run Reid's version of a spread WCO. He may not be asked to throw it downfield alot like the Perkins downfield system but I'd say he's asked to make some challenging throws. |

Travis Kelce wasn't a Pro Bowl tight end because Alex couldn't make throws. Maclin had more than 1,000 yards last season, too. If the Chiefs have two legitimate WR's to go along with Kelce this year, Alex has a chance to put up the best numbers of his career. |

Here is a nice Bortles article talking about their Red Zone offense that ranked in the bottom of the league.

He had his best year last year with ASS as an offensive line. By ass I mean 3 (starting) players drafted in the 4th round our lower. Tardiff was not supposed to play last year. The whole point was him being a developmental project. Right now I want to verbally rape the OL for just how consistently terrible it was but that's not the point. The point is how impressive Smith was despite that HORRIBLE O line. He put up his best season DESPITE our O line being complete ass...
