Stephen A Smith suggested Alex Smith could get to the Super Bowl with this Chiefs team. All so he could make the case that Mahomes, while great, is greatly assisted by his weapons.
Trey Wingo went on a righteous tirade on the radio. Good for him.

Stephen A. is about half right. Based on the stats, could Alex have played well enough to get the Chiefs into the playoffs with the weapons he would've had this year at his disposal? Sure, no doubt he could.
However . . .
Could Alex do what Pat did in the playoffs? Could Alex come back from 24-0? 17-7?
The answer, I think we all know, is no way, no how. Alex is a very good middle-of-the-pack QB. But he's not the guy, regardless of the weapons given to him, that could pull of those two comebacks. Matter of fact, there's only a couple QBs that pull something like that off. And maybe neither of those two could do it twice in two weeks in the playoffs.
Wingo is ultimately right. Pat is in a class by himself.
