rabblerouser : I also think that the Chiefs can still win with Alex Smith

[rabblerouser]

But not with Andy Reid.

There's no reason to rush it but there is a critical urgency to find a clear QBOTF. Not just giving a young QB a shot... finding a guy we believe can start for us for 10 years.

over the past few days I've realized that Alex Smith isn't the problem. it's Andy Reid. I think the Chiefs can definitely win with Alex Smith, win a Super Bowl even.

We'd need a coach like a Gruden/Payton/Harbaugh/Carroll/Garrett/McCarthy type to get the most of Smith and our talented but underachieving offense.

How does trading your veteran QB for a 3rd or 4th round pick do you any favors when we already hold a 3rd comp pick?

It's not like we are trying to re-invent the wheel. This team is set up for success in its current state thanks to Dorsey. Houston and Maclin just need to get their shit together. Hali and Charles needs to quit bleeding this team of its money.

Do you even football, bro?

And you're right, this team IS set up to win now, but guess which one crucial part of the equation they don't have right now?

Hey, tardass... dont blame me for assuming you were aiming for some kind of Smith deflection, you've been doing it all year long

And dont forget that you're the ass born baby of your uncles aunt, how did you even happen?

No one knows... the only thing authorities can do at this point is closely monitor your family and prosecute any further abuse

I don't know if you are being rhetorical or serious. I think he is working with Smith's strengths. And Smith's strengths are short passes. If there is any kind of pressure, run the ball. He is not a quality QB that can shake pressure from play to play.

Run defense. You know, a guy named Leveon Bell just ran for 170 yards.

Ok so Reid is serious about winning with a not so quality QB. I really hope he is buying time only because the QB he/Dorsey are looking for hasn't become available yet for the price they are willing to pay.

is there anyone saying run defense isnt an issue?

if we had a QB who could make plays those 170yds would have been forgotten because we would have won.

You think that run defense would have held up for 2 more games?

Child, please.

Defense wins championships. The coaching staff, the lineman, the receivers, the run defense all failed way harder than our QB did that game. Alex Smith is a solid game managing QB who can take us all the way. Players getting paid up the wazoo (Houston, Maclin, Charles, Tamba) and aren't giving us jack ****.

So you counter that with an explosive offense that puts points on the bored but you need a quarterback to get the job done and we don't have that.


Holy shit balls.


We held the Steelers to 3 point drives all day but couldn't come up with enough points on our own yes we can blame Alex Smith for that he is the quarterback.

Your stupidity is killing me. What do you do for a living that you don't have to use your noggin?

You understand that the vast majority of superbowl winners played superb defense to win it all, right? You watch the SB last year? You ever watch the Seahawks play? Steelers? Patriots of the 2000's? Ravens?

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

Mind game, you are all losing it right now.

Prepare yourself for another winning season with Smith at the helm.

Bandwagon will be ready for your fat asses.

All those teams have better quarterbacks than the Chiefs.

Dumb.

The object of the game is to outscore your opponent do you not know this?

You need points to outscore your opponents that's not something Alex Smith is providing without defense or special teams to account for our offensive shortcomings.

It's not all Alex Smith fault no but he is a big fault to the problem.
