Geno Smith vs Alex Smith - It's on.

[Hammock Parties]

It's on now. Geno Smith is probably going to be starting for the Jets this season.

Alex Smith will be the Chiefs QB for the forseeable future. If he's a success, we'll probably get five good years out of him.

So who's gonna win more NFL games over that time period?

Put your ten pounders on the table and make a vote

Alex: 11 wins
Geno: 8 wins

Add in new coaching and a few player additions since the Cassel days, and maybe just maybe you will be surprised and happy about the success to come.

I agree, I think he is better than Cassel, but being better than Cassel isn't saying too much.

Nothing wrong with having hope when you see your team making some changes at important positions. Hope getting crushed from one or many failed attempts of the past should never beat the fan down so hard as to leave him or her in the corner as that beaten puppy.

edit: added in.. look at their remarkable differences in turnovers.

Well, add in the coaching upgrade... which can be huge. Look what it did for the 49ers. We were wallowing in mediocre misery (and worse) with some very good players on the team. Then suddenly we get new coaching (Harbaugh and others)... upgrade our OL (Boone at RG and Davis improving at RT).. and voila... a mediocre at best team becomes a SB contender immediately.

... or do you think poorly of your new coaches? or do you (like others) not put enough stock in what good coaching really does for a team?

I think coaching matters, but Reid and his staff will be held accountable just as the coaches before him were. We'll see how it goes with him. I think we'll learn quite a bit about this team tomorrow night.

Yet, you can't quit us. You bitch about the "culture" of the board, but keep coming back even though there are a few other boards that use kid gloves that you could frequent.

Some.. sure. Still don't expect KC to be using many (or any) plays that they plan to use from their playbook in the regular season. Preseason tends to favor the backyard balling QB types. So many unfamiliar-to-the-playbook plays used end up turning into broken, amateur looking plays.. and that's when backyard ballers tend to run around like wild men chucking and ducking to make shit happen.

I have my reasons.

Its going to be hilarious. And you will just make excuses for his massive failure.

Cassel, unlike Smith, didn't even play a snap in college. That dude didn't even get to see the field during a regular college game. I never understood how even got a gig in the NFL. Smith was a very good college QB, who was drafted #1. Now, he has shown his ugly, but he has also shown why he was good in college. What QB are we going to get ? Hopefully the one who helps his team win games. .

Who cares what they did in college?

You don't get it. Smith's best is preventing a team from losing games due to him. He doesn't have the ability to help a team win games. That is his best. That's what he brings to the table. He's every bit as limited as Cassel, they both need coaches to take the game completely out of their hands. There's some obvious differences but the results are the same and he often looks just like Cassel (que up that gif of him staring down Bowe, wide pants-shitting stance, and then running right into the sack). Only Cassel doesn't have a parade of ****ing idiots going around trying to prop him up (well any more).

Only blind people and Alex Smith fans aren't able to see him for what he is. Funny thing is half the Alex Smith fans admit that's exactly what he is but then they still keep spouting off when people point out that's total dogshit for an NFL QB and is not a franchise QB.

Its because you've probably got multiple accounts to prop up Smith who is probably your son or cousin or some shit. That or you think you'll get to gloat about Smith at some point. But you'll run off like a bitch if he fails.

Nah, that's not who I am. There may be some gloating, but I'm sure you can admit that some people here fully deserve it.

As for if Alex fails? It's whatever to me. This whole "being right" and taking pride from it on a football forum is silly and beneath me. That is why making fun predictions is fine, but there is a thin line of distinction when using absolutes to describing future outcomes.

This is part of the problem with forum folks and young people anyway... accountability. I won't feel embarrassed at all if Alex sucks it up. Why should I? Am I being paid to give my expert evaluations here? I will simply be disappointed in him and the Chiefs season. Not a big deal or a life-changing issue. People that feed their ego and identity on a forum are silly and internally weak for needing such approval or validation.

The point is Cassel wasn't even good enough to play in college, but somehow he made it into the NFL, cuz USC is a QB pipeline. The dude has no biz being in the NFL from the beginning. smith, on the other hand, was good enough to be drafted #1. Big difference between the two right off the bat. Cassel is a ****ing horrible QB, while Smith has shown both sides, horrid and good. So, lets see which Smith we get before we start yelling about how someone doesn't get it. I do get it. It could be good, or it could be bad. We don't know yet. No one know s yet, and to act like you do means you don't get it.

My problem with Alex Smith isn't that he would play good or bad but somewhere in between. Average. He is just an average quarterback that isn't going take us beyond a first round in the playoffs. He will do enough to keep his job and prevent us from drafting and coaching up potential franchise quarterback.

Yea keep concerning yourself with our #2 QB position while Geno is probably being handed the starting job because he cant beat out Buttfumble on the filed.
