-   -   Chiefs Mellinger: Alex Smith is out of excuses, and he needs to deliver his best season (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=294514)

I agree with this article 100%. This is year 3...they've got him the perfect #1 WR and starting TE. Top 5 defense. I've seen Smith play excellent in big games...he has the ability. If he doesn't put it all together this season...then there are no excuses left.

Dorsey is pragmatic enough to know exactly what's going on...It's why they have 4 QBs.

Totally agree with this narrative. If Alex Smith plays well this year then bravo. If he plays substandard I don't want to hear the excuses. Make decisions and play with confidence. You have a lot of play makers so trust them? Start playing to ****ing win!

Just for the sake of argument, Alex had 8ypa and was on pace for 26tds in 2012 while leading the NFL in comp %.

Any way you slice it, Rogers numbers in 2010 were better than anything Smith ever put up even in his best year. That is not Alex-like would be typical Alex numbers.

Alex-like numbers are 3000 yards, 6.6 YPA, and fewer than 20 TDs.

I expect >4000 yards, 8 YPA and 28 TDs this year. That is a reasonable expectation given his situation.

What else would you expect from that crowd?

Alex could have Calvin, Dez, Maclin, Gronk and Kelce and would probably still fall short of 4000 yards.

It's like the scorpion and the frog fable. Only instead of the scorpion stinging the frog and dooming them both, it's Alex checking down and only recording 3300 yards.

No, this year I expect greater than 4000 yards. Eleven QBs threw for more than 4000 yards last season. It's not a big deal any more.

Wouldn't have shocked me.

I'm sorry but this is an incredibly stupid statement.

The past two years he threw for 3300 in 15 games averaging around 220 per game... Thats about 3500 yards per season with the bulk of his receiving corps not even being on NFL teams anymore... You dont think he can throw for 30 more yards a game with all of those guys. ROFLROFLROFLROFLROFL

I'll gladly eat my own words if Smith slings fire but I don't see it happening.

And yes, I was probably hyperbolic with my statement earlier. Smith could probably bang out 3800 yards with all those guys.

Alex Smith is to 4000 yards, as Jared is to 18 year olds

Duly noted.

If you spend 11 years in this league with all of them being the "new" NFL, you need to hit 4,000 yards at least once or you ain't shit.
