In the list of KC QBs, Trent Green is undoubtedly above Alex Smith.

But Smith seems like a nice dude. Boring as shit - he said his favorite Thanksgiving food was turkey - and his play reflected it.

But gotta be a tough MF'r to go through everything he did.

Turkey is the wrong answer? Hogwash.

I would love for Alex to be Quality Control for a year then be QB coach under Kafka next year.

Not gonna happen...but I wouldn't hate it.

It wasn't Trent's fault, but he never won a single playoff game, with one of the best offenses and probably the single best offensive line ever.

At least Alex won a playoff game. We hadn't done that since 1993.

For that alone, he deserves our respect.

Godspeed.

Trent Green also had Will Shields and Willie Roaf blocking for him.

Smith has better stats as a Chief then Green. Smith got the Chiefs back to being relevant after being sick for years under Cassell, Huard, Croyle and the cast of shitty QBs. We owe Smith so much! Thank you Alex for being awesome at what you do!

Meaningless as they may have been, they were still infinitely more enjoyable than the 2-14 & 4-12 seasons.

I was never an Alex Smith fan. I didn't want to trade for him, and there were many times that his play on the field pissed me off. But, deep down, a part of me was happy that I wasn't watching Casshole, or Huard, or Tyler FN Palko.

What Alex Smith did in his last season with the Chiefs made me wonder what he could have been if Reid had been his head coach his entire career. In SF he was forced to go through a new head coaches, new offensive coordinators, and new offensive schemes almost every year of his career.

But, I am thankful for how he mentored Mahomes, and after last year, he absolutely has my respect. His perseverance and determination through his injury made me an Alex Smith fan, which was nearly as unlikely as his return to the NFL field.

Steve DeBerg. That broken finger and play action pass.

The DeBerg years were fun. SD really had fun playing for the CHIEFS. Good memories.

Where is this crap coming from? I NEVER said I preferred 4-12 seasons, ever. Never even insinuated it. 4-12 seasons suck but at least you know there's no hope. All of those 10 win seasons and all they do is get your hopes up and then let you down. Fuck that.

To quote a wise man, "if you ain't first, you're last".

I agree with all of this and I will add to it:

It isn't Alex Smith's fault he was the last in a long line of cast offs. I can't blame HIM for that. I blame the Chiefs, going all the way back to Steve DeBerg and Marty. It isn't Alex Smith's fault that the Chiefs had been taking on other people's unwanted QB's for 30+ years. But even though it wasn't his fault, he WAS the continuation of 3 decades of failure at the QB position and it was impossible to separate him from the situation. It was nauseating from the day they traded for him and his play on the field only made it worse because you could see how close they were if only he would let go and just play the damn game.

Thank you. Was he wearing a splint around his hand during that play? I think I remember the play.
