— I believe Patrick Mahomes is the Chiefs' QB1 from what I’ve heard, but Deshaun Watson makes sense as well. They’ll need to trade up for both. If they stay at 27, the one quarterback whom they could shockingly have interest in is Davis Webb of California. They’ve also shown interest in Nathan Peterman and Brad Kaaya, but likely don’t value either as top-two rounders.
Now, the writer of this got all of his info in the article from speaking to FO people and scouts at the combine. You can question the validity, but the Chiefs did meet with all of the players mentioned at the combine.
If this report is accurate, the Chiefs could indeed be on the path to Patrick Mahomes or Deshaun Watson holding up their jersey in 7 weeks in Philadelphia. [Reply]

he can't get much worse, 15 td's.... what's he gonna do next?? [Reply]

See, this is why people get head up ass about stats.
Try and follow the distinction.
One QB played within the scheme, and did not have to put up lots of effort in yards, TDs, etc.
The other QB did.
KC had twice the rank in defense for points allowed.
You can argue all day long about "what if" Smith could carry a team that must score often and play big boy ball. That, I get.. and despite some quick score drives where it looks like he can, I wouldn't argue much about whether it's his forte... it has not been, overall.
That said, when people keep pointing to stats, TDs thrown, etc... it does nothing but point out ignorance or stupidity to the scheme being implemented... implemented by Andy Reid.
Again and again and again... Alex Smith is not a special, amazing QB. Even I am looking forward to a KC team w/o him (assuming in this case, he doesn't become more aggressive).
but the stats issue keeps making me SMH.. can he put up big stats like others? maybe, maybe not.. but I think it's silly to condemn him for not putting up big stats when it's just not the gameplan. [Reply]

Washington also has a shit run game and a mediocre at best defense. Can you imagine how many wins that team would get dropping from the 2nd ranked passing offense to Alex's 26th ranked passing offense?

I agree with the idea that numbers don't tell the story.
I always say, stats mean jack.
But this is bullshit.
How many times has Alex thrown short of the goal line in the red zone?
In goal to go situations?
15 TDs doesn't tell the story.
The missed opportunities do. [Reply]
15 TDs doesn't tell the story.
The missed opportunities do.
and I agree with this. Smith misses a good number of opportunities, and it's frustrating.
However... if we scrutinize the majority of games by most QBs every week, guess what? Yep. Lots of missed opportunities.
and still, I'd bet that Smith has more than his share... and that HAS to stop. I feel that this comes from both Andy and Dorsey --------> He's basically getting 1 more chance to find his balls in this evolved offense... or he will be tossed out. [Reply]

Again, abusing your mod powers. First you censor. Then you dick with settings. Then you quote me incorrectly numerous times. And now you take away the report button that you and TimBone have encouraged we use to report trolling.

You should donate hookers and blow to SAUTO and Tim Bone; that would be a great use of your donation money. I bet you could make it rain( pennies ). [Reply]
