Alex fucking Smith is the reason I stopped going to at least one game at arrowhead for twenty five years.

So, yeah, F him.

Some people hate the guy for coming here and helping completely change the culture while leading us to winning records every single season as a starter and winning our first playoff game in 20 years. Not to mention being an incredible mentor for Pat.

Yeah, dude was such a tool. I guess.

Andy Reid changed the culture.

That was Alex's best season. Benching him would have been as insulting as it was stupid.

He was replaced at the right time in the offseason.

Reid/Dorsey gave up multiple 2s for him even paid him. We all know what we were getting in him I like how they don't get any blame. Yet they won countless division titles and broke the playoffs streak with him at QB. CP is a really miserable place

It was the cult that followed Alex was the true antagonist

Kinda feel like this is your just being salty for choosing the worst possible time to sell low on the Chiefs as a fan.

4,000 yards, 27 TD. Which at the time had him in the MVP conversation at one point.

They did it perfectly, and it’s really weird how bitter some people still are towards the guy.
[Reply]

That I can agree with. I was never of the belief we would win a Super Bowl with him, but he was perfect while they looked for ‘the guy.’ At the time, who could complain with winning 10+ games and the division every year? It’s weird.

He ran his course and they moved on at the perfect time. I don’t understand the misdirected hate and never will.

I disagree with Smith being replaced at the right time.

He absolutely, 100% played one half of football too much for the Chiefs. His ass should have been benched at halftime of the playoff game.
[Reply]

Best play of Alex Smiths career, too bad he waited until down 21-6 to pull it off!
[Reply]

We were leading like 21-3 at halftime of the playoff game.

You must be thinking of a different season.
[Reply]

That is completely true.

He had thrown in the towel, and the second half would have been the perfect time to unleash Mahomes. It may have made the story even better than it ended up, it may have made him a legend at a different level than we are even seeing.

But he also could have shit all over himself and ruined his confidence for life. People don’t understand how complex this shit is. There’s no right answer, and I’m not going to look back and care, because we’re now the premier organization in pro sports, so I’m pretty damn happy.

Think he’s talking about the Steeler game in Alex’s last year.
[Reply]

But that wasn't Alex's last year. The Steelers game was the 2016-2017 season. Mahomes wasn't around yet.

Alex's last playoff game was against the Titans in 2017-2018.
