I agree but if the defender starts the tackle before or simultaneously to the slide, no foul. You cant punish a defender for tackling a ball carrier, especially on a called running play

Well the Jags are an okay team but Alex needs his rest for the following week against the panthers.

I usually love to see a team in the AFC West switch QB's midseason but Foles is a legit QB who can throw downfield and get the WR's in the game rather than rely on trick 3TE sets and dump offs to the RB who is overworked with no JC behind Ware.

You guys are better with Foles. I was hoping Reid would stick with the guy he traded 2 2nd round picks for. Now teams have to worry about the back half of the field.

This thread is the perfect storm of CP dumbshit.

"Alex is a pussy because he won't Steve Gleason himself deliberately"
"Andy will hold Foles back because Alex is his guy"
"Only fantasy football morons care if the offense moves and scores"

Jesus tits there is some dumb ass shit in here.

20+ point win no matter what

This is where I stand.

Can't blame the dude whatsoever; I'd probably do the same. But I don't think this is a good sign from a guy who was already gun shy with happy feet.

Of course not, they're both Mormon.

Thank you

When QB's take off and are runners they either need to give themselves up way early or expect to get punished like an RB would.

I can't count the times I have seen Alex fake a slide, ok maybe Juke but the juke could be off a slide fake, then pickup even more yards. They either need to run then slide before anyone gets into a 3-5 yard radius or take the hits and stop complaining about it.

The other thing QB's can do to reduce taking hits outside of the pocket is to throw the ball, either throw it away or to a teammate, the Fire, one read than run play is for college.

Then give all his non playing game checks to charity

I think this could be the end for Smith. He seems like the type of player to call it quits if he thinks that his long term health could be in jeopardy.

suck a horse cock

no one cares what you think

wow, maybe you're onto something here.

Absolutely but if you are a defensive team (which we are) you don't need the QB to have out of this world stats to win.

Might want to check out what Peyton's stats were last year in the regular season and playoffs. Did they still win the SB?

I have full confidence in Reid to make the right decision at QB. He knows more about QBs than anyone posting on this board. If Foles is the better QB he will see that and start him. If he isn't, he won't. It's that simple.

So I am not going to worry about who is starting at QB. If you want to go head...

And let me be clear and say that I would love for Foles to tear it up and become the next great KC QB I just don't think he is better than Alex. That's my opinion. I bet half of you acting like he is great have barely even seen him play prior to Sunday.

Hopefully Foles proves me wrong. We will see.

Tom Brady has also been in the top 5 in most stat categories over the past decade or so. Interesting how that correlates...

This is also where I stand LMAO

I hope that we barely squeak out a win with Foles throwing for 135 yards and 2 picks. For the same reason. To end the debate.

Man, I am pumped for Sunday

Sexay Nickay goin' deep.

BIG DICK NICK GOIN' BALLS DEEP SON

We are Chiefs fans. We don't get this lucky.

What gives you the best chance to win the game? Moving the ball and scoring. It's not rocket science here.

They should have just called it a neck sprain and there wouldn't be much argument.

I still don't think Foles was brought in here to just be a backup. Andy wanted him before he wanted Alex.

I thank Andy wanted him to be Alex's successor

Roethlisberger's stats in week 4 sure helped Pitt beat KC.

An injury settlement would be a convenient way for the Chiefs to save oodles of cash on Alex's fat contract at this point.

Foles has a history of being very up and down. He could put up 4 TD's and 400 yards and I'd still want Smith to return. It's not time to replace a QB that is 15-2 in his last 17 starts. The Niners drank the short term success koolaid as well. Would you like to have their situation? I'm sorry, but you can't just go replacing the stability of a winning formula for an unknown like this.

Playing in the SuperBowl? Yeah, I'll take that.

Career INT%

Smith - 2.2
Foles - 2.2

Career TD%

Smith - 3.9
Foles - 4.4

Yep, do you remember how many around here wanted to trade him? ROFL

What are you so excited for? Foles is just another retread that we didn't draft in the 1st round right?

But NOT from San Francisco

Another February of 2013 registrant aka Alexsexual.

Is this the same Nick Foles that couldn't beat out Case Keenum for a starting job?

55 on the money... Can't ****ing wait.

You are getting amped for nothing...

Foles is not going to replace Smith. That was made clear yesterday. Mistake or no mistake, Alex is the starter.

The fact that the Chiefs and Alex were being so quiet about it had me worried... I think this could be a more serious injury than we realize. Or it could just be the Chiefs saying as little as possible to keep future opponents guessing. Who knows really?

You would prefer that over a blowout with Foles throwing 5TDs? :spock: That would possibly mean that Foles is a better QB. Maybe not but it would sure look like it. So you're saying you wouldn't want a possibly better QB because of the controversy? :shake:

I know Alex's fans are scared of the long ball so don't worry, Foles can check it down too:

Smoke and mirrors. Dude got two in the same game on Sunday.

No way he would be playing this weekend.

They just need to win. 500 yards from foles or 150, gotta win this weekend.

8 chiefs fan celebrate, put the hammer down nation morn's...

But he's a Chiefs fan...

The realistic slogan for Chiefs' football from 2006-now.

Did they review that in NY, you know, since Maclin was falling down? And if so, did they overturn it? :#

Watch Andy come out with screens on most of our plays

Subbing for the same Alex Smith who couldn't beat out Colin Kaepernick for a starting job.... Mr. "PutQuinnIn".....

Ouch. LMAO

I think that has more to do with it being the same Jeff Fisher who is damn lucky he still has a job...:shrug:

Andy won't be able to help himself with his new toy. Long balls everywhere and people will say ASS could do that if Andy called those plays.

we'll be fine.

220 yards 1 TD, 0 INts

Notice the people who are amped about the idea that Foles is the long term player are the same ones who were begging for Geno, murray, Daniels, and also defended Bowes lackluster play

Yay! Foles played great! Oh shit but now our defense sucks...

Having Alex as your QB can cause a person to lash out in desperation. Don't blame the victims.

LMAO

Nickfoleon could go 265 yards, 2 TDs on 65% completion against the Jags and Reid still wouldn't think twice about switching quarterbacks.

Reid is the football guru, the rest of you are just managing your 8th place fantasy football teams

Well, then why don't you relax?

Please god don't let KC get the taste of what a real QB feels like.

FYP.

You stop that right now...

Thank you for the kind words. It has been sometime.

I wasn't joking.

Football guru that couldn't manage a two minute drill even if he was told Taylor Swift would suck his cock after a successful one.

Petty Foles

Nick Foles and the Heartbreakers.

I'm guessing as a Broncos fan, you would rather the Chiefs start Smith over Foles?

"I said you don't.....have....to live like a refugee...."

I know. It will be a glorious Sunday afternoon.

I'm geeked!!!!

Those numbers probably sound elite to an Alex fan.

All day long. The book on Smith was written long ago.

To me, the question is not whether Alex is our starter this year. It's whether we would be should remotely consider letting Alex go next year in order to save $5 million with the five-years-younger Foles.

Pretty crazy. Every fan base in the AFC West including our own would prefer ASS11 behind center.

Do you have everyone's posts in some type of data base? Spread sheet? That's pretty impressive that you dedicate yourself enough to know who was defending a guy who's been gone for two years.
