Chiefs Andy Reid on Mike & Mike: "Alex is our quarterback by the way" - Page 12

pugsnotdrugs19 · 01-26-2017, 09:10 AM

Don't want to read too much into the conversation but just watched Andy on M&M this morning and he made it clear that Alex was the QB. Mentioned that he could still play, was at the Pro Bowl (

), and can do all the things he wants his guy to do.

In essence, we can put any talk of Tony Romo, Nick Foles, or any other retread to bed. But, they did talk about college system QBs briefly (no one specific), and he said that as long as they feel like a guy can learn, it is their job to transition a college system QB and that it doesn't effect their decision on which type to take.

So, will we draft a QB? Idk, my bet is on yes since Foles is apparently gone.

Think about that for a minute (no condescension intended).

The problem is either ANDY REID or ANDY REID... or the OL.. and let me explain.

Either the OL just sucked at run blocking....

or Andy's sideways BS playcalling, and lack of deep shot testicles is putting defenses on notice to move up closer and key the run. (seems unfathomable with guys like Hill and Kelce, right?)

or Alex's testes are so minuscule, that he simply will not take the time or effort in backing off the D with aggression.

So which is it? because I'll tell you... even if... EVEN IF... it is 100% Alex Smith?

then the problem... is ANDY REID. He is the HC and OC. He is in charge of his QB. If Smith is not doing what his HC and OC want... and is still on the field..

then it's still ON ANDY REID.

Agree or disagree?

So when it's Alex's fault.....it's not really his fault?

This was expected. No NFL team is dumping their starting QB after a 12-4 season.

2018 remains the goal.

And no contract extension.

There is nothing wrong with leading the league in YAC. The difference between Alex Smith and Tom Brady is that defenses RESPECT Tom Brady because they know he CAN beat you deep and he has the balls to do it.

Defenses can easily game plan to take away the Chiefs running game and force Alex Smith to pass downfield, which they know he's too pussy to do most of the time.

He absolutely does.

Those guys all went home early because they couldn't put points on the board.

This offense struggled to score points in the second half of the season, primarily due to inept QB play.

And what do you know, the same thing that dogged us during the regular season bit us in the ass in the playoffs. There was no Tyreek Hill or Eric Berry magic to save the team this time, because that shit dries up in the postseason.

But it's not like that's never happened to Alex before! He's certainly never struggled to convert third downs or score points in a playoff game. NO SIR!

Did you see those Setting Up The Punter stats though? 10/15 !!! That's good stuff.

Tom Brady was 12th in air yards/attempt.

Alex Smith was 31st. Only Bortles and Wentz were lower.

With Foles, that first round bye may not be coming but if the shit hits the fan with Foles, the top 10 pick in a loaded QB draft is on its way and that kid gets to come into a team that's still young and deep. It's an ideal launching pad for a young quarterback. And there's a chance, though diminished, that Foles could take this team to the same/similar performance as Smith. In fact, there's a chance his style can do more given the emergence of key playmakers.

I haven't said 'anything at all' is preferable, but I think there are many preferable options and probably the worst of those preferable options is sitting on our roster and under contract for 2017, so with that in hand, there's no reason for me to retain Alex Smith for next season.

Foles, when he came in, was bad on the short stuff. I feel your pain, and largely agree, but Foles ain't displacing Smith, because he's bad on the short stuff.
