Well Smith getting his second concussion in the same game was on Reid and his 7 figure salary...

Don't be pissed at clay or anyone that liked Foles output. Be pissed any Reid and his 7 figures the chiefs pay him for getting him killed again...

You can't fix stupid.

Does that apply for Cassel as well?

Oh it absolutely was. I even said so. I'm not crushing him for liking Foles. I like him as well. I wanted him years ago over Smith.

Moron he did not have a concussion on the first hit or he would not have been allowed to return. Your stupidity knows no bounds.

Team said the cut to his ear messed with his equilibrium...

That sounds awfully like concussive symptoms to me.

:facepalm:

Do you actually trust the NFL's concussion protocol to make the right call in these situations?

If not his equal librium was completely ****ed. Putting him back in just to get him hit again was criminally stupid and negligent...

He clearly had a concussion.

I say start him against Jacksonville.

The last 2 weeks we've played the worst passing defenses back to back and Smith struggled at times while Foles slung fire and delivered.

Hypocrite?

Man you are dumb

You can be excited that Foles came in without being happy that a dude bounced his head off the turf playing a game. Yes that goes for Cassel also.

Yep. Foles outplayed Smith today, that's for sure.

Ill take several million dollars for a guy to slam my head on the ground while wearing a helmet. Where do I sign up?

I'm just Shocked that the HC and franchise pit their franchise QB back in after he was Completely wrecked...

Wouldn't you protect the main piece of your team a little more?

Lot of money just to piss off with bad protocol and dumb ass play calling be big red.

Yes I believe they have a protocol and if Smith had not passed said protocol he would not have been let return. If you think otherwise you are just being obtuse for an agenda.
There have been far too many times that a player or coach would have played or put that player back in the game to win if it was not for the protocol.
He was not concussed.

Well to be fair, he always appears a little bit "concussiony" when he plays football.

He was clearly concussed, which is why the second hit knocked him from the game so easily.

Fair enough.

By why risk it? Dude couldn't stand after the first hit.

Especially when. The backup is playing just fine.

Now? Now they put him at risk, he got abused and the results aren't favorable...

Sounds smart to me.

No

Letting you back on this forum was a huge stupid mistake. You are a giant piece of shit of a human being. You are a huge negative part of this forum.

You are the one being negative right now. We are 5-2 and have some hope at the QB position for the first time in a long time. Rejoice with me, brother! CHIEFS!

Even rich people have family

You should channel that energy towards Reid for killing your QB...

Never you piece of shit.

The boy who thought we would lose to Carr and hyped him up, and also said we would lose today.

ROFL

This is how I felt today after watching Foles bomb it down the field:

We would have lost if Alex Smith had not gracefully exited the game in favor of the savior.

How do you figure? Neither was having trouble moving tha ball.

26-10 4th&48ERS!!!!!!!!

Tiger, why can't you just enjoy the win?

Foles looked great. Let's go.

Alex wasn't putting the ball in the end zone before Gaines gave him a short field.

The game was in doubt.

The ball was underthrown. It was a great catch by Hill if anything.

Game was in doubt until the last quarter. I don't think Foles did anything Smith couldn't or wouldn't do.

I don't think that Foles is a big drop off, if any. I would say that it's a good thing that we are playing Jacksonville this week.

So much this...

13.9 yards per completion and two actual, legitimate TD passes (no screens) says otherwise.

He had 3 nice downfield throws to Conley, Kelce that he dropped and then Hill for a touchdown.

Alex's TD to Maclin was legit. I don't like him but STFU already.

Honest to God, I am not sure Smith hits Hill for that TD. Foles threw a rocket, right on target, and it was a pass over 20 yards. Smith does not hit those with regularity.

That was a nice ball for sure.

That's what concussion do to check down QBs...

He gave his guy a chance to make the catch or get a PI call. ASS11 routinely misses long or wide by a large margin fearing an INT.

was the pass last week to Hill a legitimate pass? Smith could've made that read today as well.

Foles is definitely more aggressive but he moves about as well as drew bledsoe. I don't think there's much of a change in the playbook, but losing the ability to run, even though Smith has done less of that this year, is going to hurt and I think (further) expose some issues with the line. But maybe that's a fair tradeoff for the increase in longer pass attempts with the good (completions/penalties) and bad (picks) that come with.

The zip and lack of arch on Foles downfield throws were unreal. It's been years since we seen something like that.

Yes, Alex got his one token TD pass after a short-field drive. That is his MO. One per game.

Very good throw. But the past is in the past. We are trying to leave behind those 17-point days.

Yep

It was stupid to let him back him in, whether he passed the test or not... all I could think when he walked back to the sideline was "how the hell did he fool those doctors?"

Two big hits in the same day could put him out multiple weeks, not just one

Foles was doing great, Reid didnt do anyone any favors with that move

And that game was never really in doubt at any point. Indy couldn't do anything on offense all day. I've never felt less nervous facing Andrew Luck in the second half of a game. We'd have had to give them short fields for them to get back into it.

Could have long term season lasting impact on this team and it's success.

Dumb dumb move.

They were trying to squash a QB controversy.. Oops

Yep. I was texting to my son and another friend that it sucks when your QB gets a concussion but at least we have a good backup.

They now have one. And if Foles plays next week and has a solid game it will be full on the minute Smith comes back and goes full Smith...

Pressure cooker

I'm sure they trusted their doctor(s) to make the right call in that situation. Albeit, it doesn't appear that was what happened. I don't blame Reid for that.

I'm sure people will find ways to blame the oline or the lack of offensive weapons.

I'm just glad to have a guy who doesn't play scared

No but I do blame him for the play call that put smith in a position to get smoked again.

Now we have a QB eating his breakfast through a straw for awhile while signing Mary had a little lamb...

Totally agree it was a bad move, but it remains to be seen what long term impact it may or may not have... Foles is a very capable guy

Thats the only reason that makes any sense, Smith is Andys guy come hell or high water

Its why I said in a different thread, that no matter what Foles does in the next 1-2 games... Smith is going back in when he is ready, the only QB controversy will be in our heads

Eh looked under thrown but thats why I want those chances. Hill fights for the ball and has awesome tracking skills. Plus you can draw a PI and other penalties not to mention it backs the defense up.

yeah that ball was very under thrown

LMAO, never fails. The second a backup QB throws a TD everyone wants him to start. Just remember there is a reason Foles is a back up. He looked good and I like him compared to say Daniel but come on, it was one game against a shit defense that didn't plan against him.

KC needs a solid QB controversy.... Gives something else to discuss.

HOPE man, HOPE.

Alex Smith is purgatory.

Why do people keep saying things like this? That was the same exact play that Alex threw the TD to Hill last week. It was a designed play to get Hill open or at least one on one.

I do feel better that if we have to play Foles next week it will be at home against the Jags. Ware is the one I am worried about at this point. Smith will be back if not next week, then the week after.

3rd winningest QB in the last 4 years..yeah, he sucks

Purgatory is a safe place.

I know chiefs fans that would rather go 9-7 and playoff hope vs drafting a QB and building a long term championship team. There's a comfort level is mediocrity...

Gannon

Well Reid put him back out there and then called a read option.

Brilliant move.

That's a dishonest stat.

Grbac and Bono sure piled on the wins too. The question is whether or not you have a QB that can win in January. I don't think Smith is that guy.

Yeah, I mean he got us to the playoffs 2 of the last 3 seasons, won us one of them games last year, was a ****ed up punt return away from the SB in SF, yeah, I mean he sucks and can't win.

Foles is no Gannon.....not even close

Not only does it not make any sense, it's silly. There's been zero quarterback controversy aside from a handful of random, irrelevant people here. There wasn't anything to avoid. Smith cleared concussion protocol (given by a neutral league doctor) and was put back in the game. It's not any more complicated than that. If the starter is cleared to play, he's going back in.

The stupidity came when he ran the ball again. Which I'm assuming/hoping was not the play called.

True. He's a Foles, not a Gannon...

Not what I'm saying, Pete.

I'm saying that in January, beating an Uncle Rico led team is likely his ceiling with Andy and the Chiefs.

I don't know that it had anything to do with the play call. Probably had more to do with Alex didn't find anyone open and chose to run it. He needs to learn to get down sooner.
