Not what I said, but OK.

My beef with Alex is there are still WR's open down field that he isn't even throwing to. Example on the second to the last drive yesterday on third down he had I think it was Jenkins open deep in the middle of the field at about the 5 yard line with the DB trailing. Just throw it ahead of him, there was no safety help, if you are off nobody catches it but AJ. Take the chance. Also, on the same play, I think it was Sherman was curling to the sideline at least 20 yards down field wide open also. What's AS do? He threw it away over Kelce's head out of bounds.
Also, when the rush is around him, he just tucks the ball and immediately takes the sack. He plays scared. Reminds me of Bob Greiese. So many other QB's stand tall, keep their eyes down field, throws the ball and take the big hit but complete the pass.

Yes, the Chiefs receivers suck. But right now the leader of the team, the QB, isn't giving his all either. There is room, lots of room for improvement.

Why the heck wasn't Kelce more in the game plan yesterday? Instead of Hemmingway in the slot dropping passes, Kelce could easily take that spot.

Pics?

And right now, this D is better than last year's IMO.
No, they aren't getting the turnovers last year's squad did but they are a lot better fundamentally sound. Covering, tackling, not blowing assignments, giving up big plays. And Berry and DJ are a big part of that.
Berry is not good in coverage and DJ the second half of last year and this year was missing a lot of tackles. Big decisions to be made going forward.

What's frustrating is that there are times where Alex does the opposite and makes great plays.

I'm hoping that over the 2nd half of the season, there's improvement.

Do you remember the play he's talking about?

I don't but I'll probably be re-watching the game after the Royals tomorrow.

I don't have them nor am I one of those guys that can imbed them.
But when that play happened Solomon Wilcox pointed it out on the replay and still footage quickly before the next play. I'm sure anyone else here that watched the game remembers it. He pointed out the deep receiver, I noticed the middle guy open.

QBR & Passer Rating both have their flaws.

Its kind of like looking at drops and saying we only drop 2 passes a game no biggie while ignoring that the drops drops seem to always come on 3rd down and killed drives when a catch would have meant a 1st down, a large gain, or possibly a score. A drop on 1st or 2nd down really isn't equal to a drop on 3rd down and 5 or a drop on a 10 yard pass on 3rd and 20.

You have to look at the whole picture and while Smith isn't really a top 5 QB he is pretty damn good at "his" game which has resulted in way more wins than losses for 3 seasons now.

If he will just start taking some deep aggressive shots downfield, "his" game will be one that can take us somewhere

I've pointed out the significant flaws in the passer rating stat.

You're like the third guy to claim the QBR stat is flawed, but hasn't bothered to give your opinion why.

You're a liar and a troll and I never spammed anything. All you ever point to is some game thread you got butthurt in once. Put up or **** off: link to my cassel spam or utter asshat Cassel posts, or **** off.

Usually it's with his feet.

I remember training camp interviews with Doug Pedersen were he said he was really encouraging Alex to throw the ball down field more this season.
We have to be the team in the NFL that has the least amount of downfield penalties thrown against our opponents for D holding/interference ect. Cause we never throw the ball that far. That's how the Chargers went 80 yards in 39 seconds. Completions and penalties. These days it's a 50-50 shot.
I truly think AS got gun shy after he threw 3 picks in the opener against the Titans.

Because it is actually more subjective than the Passer Rating system. Its driven by ESPN who can use "their" analysis to drive whatever scores they want up and down, kind of like CP.

Do you ever wonder what it's like? Playing football? I mean just by the way you post and go about things, it seems like you've never got to experience playing the game of football and I'm sorry for that.
