I'll try and update this periodically throughout the season.

The Chiefs currently aren't getting any pressure on the quarterback. That's obviously because Justin Houston is out, but Dee Ford, starting in his place, has done nothing. Tamba Hali doesn't have much longer remaining as a pro, so the Chiefs will need to find a suitable replacement for him.

The Chiefs could spend a second-day selection on an inside linebacker, given that Derrick Johnson is nearing retirement. [Reply]

He's likely the #4 WR on most teams boards. He'll probably be gone by the middle of the 2nd, though I agree that it's pretty unlikely he goes in the 1st. [Reply]

Stop drafting WRs. You get the same QB no matter who you give him
Yeup.
It's pretty remarkable, to be honest. It takes a hell of a set of tools to be able to take a team who's best pass catcher is an intermittently healthy Donnie Avery and be identically productive with a team that has Travis Kelce, Tyreke Hill, Jeremy Maclin and Chris Conley added to the mix.
I'm serious - how the fuck does he even manage that? Give the guy shit and he produces like an average to slightly below average quarterback. It stands to reason that giving him actual weapons will yield some sort of ROI...
Nope - same goddamn guy. The ability to be nominally productive in his first year or two here with a bad line and zero weapons to speak of was pretty damn admirable. But the fact that he's pretty much just hugged that line of abject mediocrity while the team around him has gotten progressively better (to the point of legitimately dangerous)....well that's just bizarre.

Drops, running game, pass pro, the defense did I forget an excuse? [Reply]

Seriously - there is no way Kiper's watched the Chiefs and actually believes this.
Because adding Tyreke fucking Hill didn't actually open up the offense. It added a couple of splash plays here and there but those were so infrequent (and really came at the expense of some deep middle/out routes rather than Reid/Smith's allotment of check-downs and WR screens) that they didn't accomplish anything.
No - NOTHING will open up the Chiefs offense. And no, Alex Smith will not do anything with a 'reliable, productive target' that he wouldn't do with some jackass 6th rounder that gets those same snaps because somehow Alex Smith has become "Even Steven" from fucking Seinfeld. Give him 10 more deep passes and he'll just throw 10 more bubble screens. [Reply]

Fellow Planeteers, I beseech thee;
Take a cue from young DJ here and embrace the reality that IS a useless Alex Smith.
Then, righteously focus thine anger on the fatassed, sideline bobble-head which insisteth on playing this fool. [Reply]
