Chiefs Charles Davis: Chiefs shouldn't move on from Smith unless they have his replacement - Page 2

Stargazer · 05:37 PM

Fox Sports' Charles Davis is talking about the Chiefs and the loss to Tennessee as well as Andy Reid's playcalling in that game. He's also asked about Alex Smith and seems to believe that the Chiefs can't move on from him unless that have his replacement NOW.

I've only caught bits and pieces of the fallout but from what I've seen Hottie defined the word 'EPIC' with his meltdown.

Hell, we didn't dump Cassel until we had Alex blech Smith.

With Alex Smith's low salary it wouldn't be difficult to develop a guy while Smith holds down the fort.

The problem is that i see no evidence to indicate that Reid/Dorsey are truly trying to replace Smith. Seems to me they are just casually trying to take the random shot at picking up a QB that they can turn around and trade for picks.

i see no sense of urgency at all

I don't see how the Chiefs will Ever replace Alex. Its hard to replace a Franchise QB that destroys defenses with 178 yards a game passing and a TD throw every few games. Teams have to game plan against Alex-they know he is going to go off one quarter a game-they just don't know which one. Alex keeps them guessing. Lulls them to sleep with a devastating horizontal passing attack, high incomplete passes and Red Zone interceptions- then- BAMM a twenty ****ing yard pass downfield. That is hard to stop.

The trickery is mind bottling

No QB in the history of the NFL can shut an offense down to protect a 3 point lead after the 1st quarter like Alex. He will be missed.

Exactly the reason I cannot figure out why people would be scared of a rookie starting over this dick cheese.

I would be perfectly fine with

a) releasing Smith

b) drafting a QB in the first two rounds

c) keeping Foles as the 2017 starter/bridge player for the rook

Foles gets shit on too much around here IMO, give him a full offseason/camp as the starter and he'd pleasantly surprise people I'd bet... he would damn sure play a more exciting brand of football while we wait for the rookie to mature

A rookie could gives us at minimum the same production for a shit ton less money.
