404 errors make me sad as well.

Alex brought tears to my eyes

during playoff games when he was the Chiefs QB and was checking down short of the sticks on 3rd down

Alex Smith made me puke with us up 38-10 against the Colts and then he shit the bed.

That turned me into the Alex the Player Hater I am.

Why do people think black sand beaches are romantic or symbolize lifelong commitment for wedding pictures and shit like that? It looks like you're honeymooning in a new development construction site.

The greatest con artist who ever lived.

was never a Smith defender......but can't ignore Smith's stat line for that game:

30-for-46 378 yards and four touchdowns

Smith was not the reason we lost that game.

Both RB's went out and the defense sucked.

This.

He raked up those stats early. He then started 2 yard check downs.

Again, not a smith apologist - but you're hatred for him is clouding your memory:

Alex wasn't pushing the ball down the field. Lots of short completions that went for moderate yardage. Alex couldn't ever break a bend but don't break D.

Sleepy bob was directly to blame, and we lost Charles early in that game. DC BOB should have been fired right after that game.....

This quote, from when he throws a football to one of his kids, sums up Alex's football career:

"Smith grabs the ball, spins it and zips a spiral. The offering skips short across the grass, . . . "

Who???
