Sing it.
You know the song Oh happy day (Oh happy day) Oh happy day When KC agreed (When KC agreed) When they agreed (When they agreed) To trade Alex Smith away! Oh happy day. |
Think about how deep that voice will be after 2 rings

"Chiefs had 26 total dropped passes last year... only 1.7 per game, one of the best rates in the NFL."
Hmmm.... whaaaat? I thought our receivers couldn't catch a ****ing cold? Dropped balls left and right! |
Alex Smith “jacked” about how things worked out
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/02/11/alex-smith-jacked-about-how-things-worked-out/
Neither the trade sending him to Washington nor the four-year extension he’s agreed to can become official for more than a month, but Alex Smith isn’t letting that get in the way of his planning. Smith said on the Murph & Mac podcast last week that he and his wife have already been scouting out possible places to live once he’s officially a member of the Redskins. “I’m jacked. I’m really excited,” Smith said, via the Washington Post. “Once I found out that things in Kansas City were going in a different direction, I was pumped at the opportunity, and when Washington came calling I was hopeful that that was a possible destination, and I’m just jacked that it worked out. They wanted me because the feeling was mutual, and I’m looking forward to it.” Smith will be playing his 13th NFL season in 2018 and he’s heard from people who think he is on the back end of his playing career. Smith, who stands to make up to $94 million under the terms of his proposed extension, does not feel that way and said he “can’t see the horizon at this point.” A good first season with his new team will likely push thoughts of retirement over the horizon for others as well. |
LMAO
Dude is bitter. You'll never have it better than you had it here with cheat codes Kelce and Hill, you wuss. Enjoy a roster full of middling offensive talent devoid of elite players. I'm sure you will be "jacked" by plenty of defenders in 2018. |

Sure thing, Coop.
It's only flawed for the Chiefs, too. Not any other team! Those drop stats are legitimate! In fact, they're flawed in the OPPOSITE direction. Every other team's receivers should be ranked higher, and the Chiefs 32nd. In fact, the Chiefs pass protection ratings were all flawed, too! They should be ranked MUCH lower. MUCH MUCH lower. It's just amazing that with all those shitheads ****ing everything up around him Alex Smith managed to drag the Chiefs to a Top 5 season on offense. Dumbass. |

That's nothing more than descriptive statistics for a set of data. A total number and an average. A first grader with a ****ing calculator could understand it. |
"The lack of dropped passes and supporting cast efficiency are why Alex Smith's true passer rating of 113.1, good for #1 in the NFL last year, was so artificially high."
"Kansas City receivers generated more separation yards than any other receiver group in the league." Now we're getting into the PFF bullshit stats, but guess what-- Sandy, Tigger, and ChiefsPASquirrelTits' precious passer rating stat is nothing more than a made-up advanced metric of sorts as well. This shit puts to bed any notion at all that Alex Smith is some precious commodity that we're really going to miss. If Smith's supporting cast of offensive weapons puts up remotely a HINT of the efficiency they did in 2017, Mahomes will probably dwarf Alex Smith in passing yards and TDs in 2018. He's probably going to ****ing push 5000, I imagine. |

Alex Smith is the football Antichrist. And glad he's been exorcisms from Kansas City. I feel somewhat bad about dumping this blasphemous sack of chickenshit mediocrity on Washington ... but then remember our five years of purgatory, and don't. |

Just getting around to reading this thread. Glad I waited because I would’ve went off on the Alex homers too lol. Denver fan boys on here thinking we got a “depth dude” is hilarious. This thread is as crazy as Twitter was while I was on it in suspense of what the compensation was. |
Love or hate Alex this is probably the most impressive trade KC has made since Montana hit town.

And what would have been missed? Regular season wins and a lone playoff victory against the legendary Houston Texans, QBed by the awesome Bryan Hoyer, and two of the biggest playoff choke jobs in NFL history. Alex Smith's best contribution to the Chiefs is what they get for him when they finally wised up and told him to GTFO. |

A dumbass on Facebook on the Chiefs page: "Nice spin job Chiefs but....Our Coach cost us our losses (not Alex Smith, not any one in particulars injuries). Spinning Mahomes start/win they forgot to mention that it was to a terrible team and letting Smith go was a big mistake."
And that's the most liked comment from that post. Is our fanbase really this ****ing stupid? #ChiefsKingdumb4Life |
If Kansas City had the fewest drops in the league, perhaps it's because Alex Smith chooses to run into the arms of waiting defensive linemen while there is no pressure.
Can't drop them if you don't throw them. But Alex and I are 100% in agreement: I, too, am jacked that he's going to Washington. |

I just don't understand the continued loathing of Smith. The process worked, and he was a big part of the process. Had we drafted Geno Smith, Johnny Manziel, or Paxton Lynch, who are all colossal busts, would this team be in the enviable position that it's in now? I highly doubt it. First of all, drafting any other first round quarterback the last 5 years would have drastically reduced the chance that we drafted Mahomes. Secondly, a winning environment has been built here in that time frame. Mahomes comes in with weapons at WR, TE, and RB, as well as a respectable offensive line. He is setup to succeed. If Mahomes turns out to be half of what we are hoping for, the next few years could be the best for this franchise since Superbowl IV. And let's not forget what we got in return for Smith. The Chiefs are primed to be a true contender for years to come. Thanks in part to them bringing in Alex Smith 5 years ago. I was frustrated with his play too. But I, for one, am glad that it worked out the way that it did. You haters need to open your eyes. You know that I'm right.

It's only by the grace of God that Dorsey and company fell in love with Mahomes and were able to snag a cheap trade up with Buffalo to get him before Houston, Arizona, New Orleans, and the NYG could make deals happen. Yes, Dorsey deserves 100% of the credit for making the trade up happen, but he needed a bit of luck. He needed Mahomes to last until 10, and he needed Buffalo to be stupid, AND he needed the other teams to not outsmart him at the pass. Any one of those things goes wrong and we're STILL likely saddled with Alex freakin Smith. |
I'm amazed at the amount of idiots out there who think we got screwed on this trade and that getting rid of Alex was the worst thing we could do. I mean, I have friends who are fans of other teams who think that but they don't really watch the Chiefs...so I guess they get a pass. But these friggin' moron "true fan" idiots...blech...seriously, I can't stand their posts and comments.
Patty-cakes gotta light it up so I can look at these twits and just smile... |

It was a boss trade for KC, flat out rape of Washington. W.t.h was Washington thinking? Reid was probably giggling like a school girl the whole time...

Alex Smith accomplished exactly what the Chiefs wanted him to accomplish. Nobody here thought that Smith was the QB to lead this team to a championship, but he proved to be capable in leading this team to the playoffs. Mahommes is the QB to take this team to next step.
Smith was a steal for this franchise. Cost us two second rounders up front, got a top CB and third rounder back. For his five years years here we paid him 67 million so like 13.4 million a year. Which is not bad for a QB that started 76 games and played pretty well. The sky is the limit with Mahommes, but Alex allowed us time to find the QB we wanted and we had decent success while we waited. |
Quote:
His level of play was so average, they could have returned to respectability with Reid and a lot of cheaper options at QB. I'm glad they have Mahomes and have finally moved on from Alex Smith. They got lucky and had that work out. I'd rather have spent 2013 and 2014 picks that went to San Fran on cheap young players at other positions. They overpaid to be not terrible at QB. Could have paid less for cheaper placeholders. |

Dude, good luck finding a QB that will suit up and be healthy for almost five years. Seriously. It's like you all forgot about the Haurd, Thigpen, Croyel, Brady Quinn, Orton, Cassel shit show years. |

Andy Reid claimed Mike Vick off the scrap pile and got to the playoffs with him. Alex Smith was overpaid for in trade and then overpaid again with the contract extension. |
Quote:
Chiefs paid Smith 67 million, about 13.5 million a year. A lot of money sure, but not for a QB that is going to start pretty much every game for five seasons. |
Palmer would have been better but we got Mahomes and now Fuller. Glad we went the route we did.
|
Palmer would have never stayed upright in KC with our Oline for the past five years.

Quote:
He was vastly, vastly overpaid those three seasons. That is the appreciation I have for Alex Smith vs "the going rate." |
Quote:
Four playoff appearances in 5 years. Back to Back AFC West Champions Yeah, we have not done shit in the playoffs, got it. That does not equal a over paid QB. In fact Alex has been decent in play off games. He was not over paid. |
Quote:
You act like he was the driving force behind all of that shit. Defense and running game did the heavy lifting for this team for four damn seasons, while he played like Damon ****ing Huard circa 2006. But Andy overpaid for his previous QB too so...not surprising. |
You know, both things can be true. He can be not really responsible for getting us to the playoffs, not really responsible for the losses and still be slightly underpaid, which he was.
|
Damon Huard averages per start in 2006:
210.5 yards 1.25 TD $88,750 Alex Smith averages per start, 2013-2016 222.4 yards 1.24 TD $880,327 LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO Don't tell me we didn't overpay for Alex Smith. Don't you ****ing DARE. |

So your basis for the Chiefs overpaying Alex Smith is Damon Huard and his breakout season where he had the 2nd best Quarterback Rating, which he had while performing on a contract for a 3rd string QB? Good ****ing LORD, I've seen you cherry pick shit before, but this takes the cake. |
Quote:
He was still being paid backup money when he signed an extension following that season, because he performed at a backup QB level. As Alex did for four seasons. Overpaid, period. |
