Yeah but he was probably teaching Mahomes to throw incompletions and interceptions!! Dude played 4 games in his career and had 0TDs and 2INTs! Why would you want that guy to teach your qb anything?!?! [Reply]

Yep, and it was the turning point in the game. The ball went backwards for like 20 yards and the guy falls on it near the sideline, but when he gets control, he was clearly out. [Reply]
See this is the kind of moral victory horse shit that turns people off of the whole topic.
3 of those guys have Super Bowl rings. Alex is a nice guy and a decent QB but nobody gives a shit about a guy that won 70% of his regular season wins but is 2-5 in the playoffs with no Super Bowl appearances. [Reply]

*in the past 10 seasons , (so ignores the worst chunk of his stats) if you look at the graphic...Huge asterisk there, another reason people dislike that kind of "stat" [Reply]

And it would something to note if he made it to a SB, or multiple conference championship games etc.... but, his playoff success was basically the one divisional win 10 years ago on an otherwise very good team with a 29th rated passing attack. [Reply]

Meh, if we were on defense and made that same play, I'd be furious if they didn't give us the ball. [Reply]

That's the real issue. Been a fan since 1989 and after a while a handful of hope doesn't cut it anymore.
This.
Seeing them win the Superbowl cannot be stated how much that means to me. We easily forget that there were fans who went their entire lives, some of them were members here, who died never seein their Chiefs win it all.
I want them to win more, but if they never do again before im gone, its enough.
Ive seen them win, and lose the big one.
Now I just want to enjoy Mahomes' career here, and see how it all plays out. [Reply]

Yeah man, this is a great thread.
Not only was it all amiable but it was civil in a thread about ALEX SMITH - probably the most divisive non-political topic in the history of Chiefsplanet. [Reply]

Ehhh the worst chunk of his stats though is easy to ignore because they were from his first years in the league and not later in his career...
I still wonder how he would’ve done sitting behind a favre for years like Rodgers did, and then how Rodgers would’ve done starting right away like smith did. For some reason I think Rodgers would’ve still been fine starting right away, because of his personality but Alex’s personality makes me feel like he woulda been pretty bad ass in the nfl had he been able to sit behind favre for those years...
