Rush yards definitely get overlooked when accounting for QB production. He gave us 3750 total yards in his first season so being north of 4000 is not out of the question.

It's all about trust with Alex.

For him to target you, you need to

1) be trusted to know your job/ where to line up
2) be trusted to run routes effective enough to gain separation
3) be trusted enough to be on the same page with him on route adjustments
4) be trusted enough to make the catch consistently and make the play
5) be trusted that you're not going to hang Alex out to dry after he gets you the ball.

Seriously, it's all about trust for the guy.

That's why Albert Wilson, Jason Avant and Deanthony Thomas had no problem getting targets during the last month of the season. Alex trusted them.

I wish the search function worked so I could look for the thread I was going on about trusting his receivers, there was some gold in that thread/those threads...it seems Sam read them and has agreed with them and has done an amazing job expanding on those thoughts and hit it out of the park with this article.
So he's gay? Or is that The View's hot football take?

And he put up his own money to do hold mini-camps during the lockout in the summer that harbaugh was entering as HC. He's a class act.

In the end, the organization turned his back on him and look at them now ROFL

Should have sucked for Luck. If I was Pioli I would have made that happen.

Still a few excuses around for Alex Smith, but they are disappearing fast.

barring injuries or an Oline that's sucks, Smith needs to be significantly better this year


i'm still not convinced that the Oline is going to be solid, but we'll see

As I've argued before...name your OL ranking for the Chiefs. Doesn't matter what it is (unless it is #1), the Chiefs overall offense will be ranked quite a bit higher than than the O-line ranking. If that indeed turns out to be true, in what universe is QB the problem? And screw all the Charles noise; RBs don't matter very much in today's NFL.

The common view on here is that unless a QB is a first ballot HOFer, he is garbage and should be cut.

Just think, had we gotten Luck in 2012, Pioli would still be our GM most likely.

I agree with Sam on every point, he's done a nice job of summing things up for the people who maybe don't follow things as closely as the average Planeteer.

He's done some nice work lately, must be going back and looking at his old cohort Babbs pieces or something... cant think of a worthy comparison since I haven't followed basketball since forever, but he's like a very solid, if unspectacular point guard... he doesn't create very often, but he's a great distributor.

And yes, he's out of excuses... I said that at the end of last year, long before the 5 star offseason we had.

Would have been nice, but players, coaches and GMs just don't think the way fans do.

You can't spend all offseason preaching one thing and then reverse course for hope in acquiring one player.

Chiefs tried to suck but we won games with ****ing Palko starting. That's Chiefs football for you.

Every SB winning QB has been supported by an effective running game.
