A player who can make the kind of catch Maclin made on third and 20 in the playoff game last year is valuable to a team who is a SB competitor.

If this team legitimately thought it had a chance at the Lombardi they'd be holding on to Maclin to come up with that kind of catch in clutch situations, but why bother?

We aren't a SB competitor, and so it's not worth paying a guy to come up with that kind of occasional clutch play when he's not producing the rest of the time according to his pay grade.

Especially when he's only going to get worse and you need the cap room.

Maclin doesn't stay healthy

His production was something a low rd pick can do.

Def not worth keeping him for the money that he was making.

I'm sure they asked him to re-do his contract, he probably refused. They tried trading him during the draft, nobody bit, so now they've released him in the most cap friendly way they could.

Having that said, they need someone to replace him. Other than Hill and Kelce, the Chiefs don't have any receiving weapons. Conley's the 2nd best WR on this team as we speak and he's really JAG.

Can you guess why?


Nobody else beat Denver 2x last year?

Wut? Did you miss his first season here? His decline last year was 100% on him. Whether it was because of injuries or his friend dying, he clearly wasn't good last year.

I'm inclined to believe that the truth lies somewhere in the middle between "not worth it for the production", and "developing the younger talent that we have drafted".

As much as I would love to believe that Dorsey is SO pragmatic, that he looked at Smith and said "why am I wasting my time giving this schlub a high dollar option that he can't use to any advantage", it would be absolutely ridiculous to believe that any GM would reason like that.

Did you even watch the 2015 season? Macin had his most efficient season as a pro and that's AFTER his ACL injury. Ignorance is strong with this one.

Everything in that post is wrong. The financial move was necessary for this year, to sign picks and set up the emergency fund for when the seasons starts. If they were worried about next year that much, they wouldn't have made it a June 1 cut.

The names you listed as leaders are the reason why Mahomes can take over and be the guy next year. Because the talent and leadership is already in place to make the transition seamless. The kid will get to just go out there and play ball.

They want his future receivers to be experienced and proven, and this move allows for that.
Any move is somehow relevant to Smith's future. Let the man cling to his hopes, for Christ's sake!!

Kind of sucks because while he did have a down year, he did put the team on his back at times. Most notably when he damn near put the team on his back in the come back vs San Diego

That is some solid blocking especially in the second gif. Why couldn't/doesn't Alex Smith make more plays like that down field? It's not like he is incapable he just doesn't do it enough. If he wants to keep his job through 2017 he is going have to make plays like that all season.

What ever happens, dont let the turds see that TD throw...it'll ruin the narrative.

bevischief 06-04-2017 05:04 AM
So what does this to do for the long threat?

You mean the narrative that Alex Smith is frustrating because he clearly has shown he is capable of these kind plays but doesn't have the balls to make them consistently.

If this were truly how they saw it, why even keep Alex Smith around?

They could save several million and see what they have in Bray as QB1 (+/or give Pat the reigns mid-way) for the year by cutting him loose?

Why bring in Logan for such a large, 1 yr deal?



No, this was just a simple value decision. They saw what Mac was offering in practice, and were not impressed enough to keep him on for such high cap cost. They probably felt they could get similar/equal/better production from a younger, cheap option.

But Smith can't make reads!
