Chiefs Blake Bortles > Alex Smith - Page 5

He made clutch throws downfield in the 2nd half to protect the lead and win despite his defense struggling. He has a 100% lifetime playoff win percentage. He is better than Alex Smith!

Thank you!!!

thanks, this is exactly what he did. I saw multiple videos of Alex running out of a perfectly good pocket straight into sacks against the titans.

.. and Bortles had a solid run game to help him. Smith did not.

And missed plenty of plays in the second half himself that were there for the taking. Game film has only underlined that. He has his share of the blame to shoulder in the second half.

Troll thread for the uneducated fans. Move along.

I'd say a few snaps, sure. Overall, he carried his share of the weight. Problem with KC fans here... is that they always expect him to carry more when others are not carrying their share. That's just not Alex.. not often anyway.

Better hope Mahomie is that guy.

Alex definitly did that a few times vs the Titans, I definitly will not argue that because only a idiot would no?

Non-the-less the original point still stands.... The check-down to Yeldon, we all woulda said, Good job being a game-manager alex for doing your usual check-down, would we not have? You can't say for Bortles, OMG WHAT A CLUTCH GOD that check-down holy shit.... And then when alex does it, "oh just another game manager, check-down play being bailed out by his RB"... You can't have it both ways... I cant ****ing wait till alex is gone so this shit stops.

It's the same argument as last year. Yes there was stuff at the end that foiled Smith's comeback but he did plenty in the plays, quarters, that could have helped avoid the comeback even being necessary.

Bortles wasn’t exactly great today despite making some great throws. The difference is that his head coach and his team were able to overcome it with the ground game and their defense. We can’t figure out how to do those things when Smith is off.

Unless you have the Jags D, you need a QB to do that. Even Bortles made some passes in the 4th quarter.

Expecting a player making $20 million against the cap to carry more weight isn't unreasonable. Especially in a league where a QB usually needs to step up for teams to win big games. Especially in the 4th quarter. Can't have a QB running out of a perfectly clean pocket on the biggest 3rd down of the season. That's worse than a guy making $500,000 dropping a pass on the previous down.

Most people aren't saying only Smith failed. Some of the extreme posters, sure, but the point isn't that Smith dropped the ball by himself. That never was the point.

Chiefs fans trying to justify this shit by talking mostly defense or "bad luck."

It's not "bad luck." If your QB isn't a ****ing pussy, you can win those games with 2+ TD leads.

Alex does not. He depends on the defense to make every ****ing stop. When they don't, he loses, and his fans bitch about how he needs more support.

Alex has been given enough support and enough weapons. The goal isn't to see how far he can go with an absolutely PERFECT team. How many QBs in their careers ever get what he's had in terms of team talent the past 5 years in KC and 3 years in SF? Very few.

He's a bag of shit.

Very well stated.

Yep. So much of this. Especially, the last sentiment. I'm still interested in the Chiefs and direction of the team, but I am going to be so happy when Alex isn't the ignorant scapegoat here at CP.

Jags defense gave up 42 points today. Titans scored 22 and that was enough against Smith.
