They look pretty good when a real QB is backing them up with scores.

Nick Foles...makes your defense better.

I don't think Foles is a savior or the next coming of Montana/Brady whoever. But I do think he can be more effective with Kelce, Reek, Maclin, and Conley than Smiff has been.

They have talent on defense. Bortles is absolutely ****ing that offense though.

Jalen Ramsey has been a ****ing beast this year.

IMO, that's the whole point. You're right Foles isn't special. At all. So what if he comes in and out produces Alex? Or produces equally?

What does that say about Alex?

On Sunday we'll get a glimpse of truth. Either the system needs Alex, or Alex needs the system.

We'll start to get an idea if Alex is truly holding this offense back or not.

I praise thee, King Foles.

No we won't, because the Alex contingent will claim that Jacksonville has the worst defense in the history of the NFL.

Never mind that Alex has done jack and shit against defenses worse than JAX.

And what if he under performs?

I understand that some people have an irrational hatred of Alex Smith but the fact remains that the Chiefs are a consistent, winning organization and one of the best teams in the NFL with him under center.

The mere notion that some people can't even acknowledge that fact on Chiefsplanet is beyond ****ing stupid.

I just hope we win.

there are no shit defenses, that's a myth.

What will be funny is the same people who don't give Smith TBOTD, will award it to Foles.

This is why we are fans, and not coaches. Because most of things said here, wouldn't fly in a locker room.

Fans try to pit players against each other, on the same team.

It's juvenile.

yup

If anyone rational thought this was BECAUSE of Smith and not IN SPITE of him, you'd have a point.

When the Chiefs own broadcast crew makes comments about Foles opening up the offense and making the defense respect the entire field...

Everyone here thinks guys like Dilfer were carried by the defense, but refuse to acknowledge the same about Alex.

He's not garbage. But he's not winning shit that matters without an elite/very good defense.

Sweet. This is gonna be good.

Yet he had Maclin, Jordan Matthews, and many more in Philly but the organization was thrilled when they got to replace him with MARK SANCHEZ

Jesus Christ. Did you and hootie share the same bus to school?

If foles starts turning it over, the defense will struggle. It's not flashy, but Smith's play helps the defense

Clay with his first foles "not enough talent around him" cliche. It's a good day
