Chiefs Would you rather be 8-0 with Alex Smith or 3-5 with Geno? - Page 22

-King- · 10-28-2013, 01:27 PM

Our offense is terrible with Alex Smith. It would likely be worse with Geno given his propensity to turn the ball over and give the other teams points through pick 6s and returned fumbles for TDs. So seeing as how we barely win with the offense we have now, we'd have likely lost more than a few games if we had Geno as our QB.

But would you rather take those growing pains with Geno, or be 8-0 with Alex and be in the driver seat toward a first round bye in the playoffs?

We should take up a collection to pay for therapy for the 15 Geno fans.

It may take multiply sessions, but perhaps, just once, we can find a cure for their delusions.

I wonder if any of these 15 ever played HS or college sports. You never accept losing for any reason.

Patience.

Well of course I mean you have been right so far. Pfttt.

The losers response, just you wait! Just you wait!

You have even back tracked 3 or 4 times on your opinion and have previously claimed we could win a playoff game with Smith. Your opinions lose value when you continually change them.

You are basically Clay's left nut. BCD is his right.

That's OK.

[QUOTE=HemiEd;10137292]Mama said there would be days like that as a rookie. I love watching the kid play though and he is going to be a franchise QB, count on it.

That's why he fell to the second round, the knock on him was that he melts down against better defenses. He looked awesome against lesser competition in college but couldn't compete against the better schools. Same situation is playing out in the pros. He'll put up descent numbers most of the time but come playoff time against better defenses he'll falter.

Yes, but it's is obvious you don't know shit about pro sports.

Sometimes you have to let the young guys go out there and learn on the job. It might be detrimental to the team in the short term, but you're hoping it pays off in the long term. This is pretty common and Chiefs are doing it now with Fisher.

No I root for the win every Sunday with hope that it leads to a Super Bowl. I did cook up some bad ass burnt ends last week though and it was sunny out too. This week I made chilly and it was good too and to go along with that we are at 8-0. Yeah that sucks. Oh wait no it doesn't it's awesome!

He just refuses to do it. It's like trying to give a cat a bath...

I am going to have to trust you on this Rausch, as I didn't pay a lot of attention to him before this year. What I have seen this season though, is when he does try and throw it over 10 yards, he often errors to the long side. Usually, way long and un-catchable.

I was in awe of the catch McCluster made for the TD Sunday, it was perfect, almost a miracle.

It would be nice to see him develop the tendency to hit runners in stride on the long balls, much like he does on the short passes, so the receivers don't have to "lay out" to catch the ball.

So now you are going to take the assumption that we would be 3-5 to heart and run with it and call other people delusional? Nice

But that is ok, it was a safe pick.

That requires time and a comfort zone only attained with repeated throws.

We don't throw deep enough for him to develop that with anyone...

Ok, I will give you that.

But couldn't we also say that the worst defense he has faced so far as an NFL QB, is better than the best one he faced in College? That may be a stretch for some people, but I think it has to be fairly accurate.

So, given that, wouldn't that indicate a lot of growth and maturity in a short period of time, much like other franchise QBs. In fact, at a faster pace than some of the greats.
