This team is going to need a top notch run game to make an AFC Championship under Alex Smith in 2017, along with a top notch defense. Now, if Mahomes becomes as good as many including myself think he could be, it's a whole new level for the Chiefs. The offense could become something it hasn't been in nearly 15 years.
I honestly dont see our guys being quite as dynamic as Atlantas duo
But what our guys lack in explosiveness, they should be be able to make up for with with a grinding, wear you down, kill the clock style... provided Ehingers return is the cure for what ailed us last year
What Alex Smith brings this year, I have no clue... tempted to expect the same old shit because thats how he has mostly played for his entire career
But maybe, just maybe, the writing on the wall spurs him to reach outside of himself and he tries to MAKE plays for once... 'good' Smiff can approach dynamic, we'll see
The pressure will either make him wilt, or make him show off
If he decides to grab his balls, we could have a great year [Reply]

Sounds like Mahomes is progressing nicely. Alex has one year. [Reply]
Just when you think you couldn't get more pissed off. Brian Baldinger highlighted another play not mentioned here. Alex had perfect protection and missed two wide open TD's on the same play bc he was scared.
We should have beaten that Steelers team.

The fact that it is cheaper to cut Alex in '18 then it is to keep him makes your two year statement null and void. Look no further than what happened with Maclin for proof of what the Chiefs intend to do. Look no further than Baldinger's video as proof that Alex isn't the reason he "just wins games". [Reply]
The 2nd part of that video of Maclin streaking open in the bottom right with Alex rolling right is the exact kind of pass Mahomes would have thrown. [Reply]

No, no; Mahomes would just shit himself or throw an interception, failing to practice the Elite Ball Control that has come to define KC offense!

I don't think it does (apart from these nimrods who want to falsely apply it to rent-a-QB).
It's a QB who you can depend on to lead your franchise for 10+ years. It might be someone like Elway at the top end, or it might be someone lesser like Joe Flacco.
Whoever it is, they provide some element of stability and championship potential for the long term. He doesn't hold your team back.
Alex Smith is just another limited rent-a-QB who doesn't fit that definition. [Reply]

After all of these decades and various wasted careers, we are finally about to witness the stone-cold LAST and FINAL season of such bullshittery behind Center in Kansas City.

Rejoice.
I'll rejoice when you're finally IP banned, Geno.
You don't know dick about the NFL, let alone, QB's. [Reply]
