Not that I don't think that Andrew Luck isn't better than Alex Smith. Andrew Luck is on a different planet than just about any other qb.
Its just funny how some will go to such links to dismiss how great Alex Smith played yesterday.
The difference in the game was that the Indy defense was a different animal in the second half, the Chiefs defense played worse and worse, and injuries ate up the Chiefs in the end.
Nothing you can ever say will take away from how well Alex Smith played yesterday. That was a FRANCHISE QB PERFORMANCE.

Look, we just have a very different opinion on Alex. He played great yesterday, as well as you will possible ever see him play. The only way he will ever be better is with better talent.
Alex did not throw any picks, Andrew had 3 and still willed his way from a bad performance to lead when needed. Would Alex be able to throw 3 picks and will his team to a win ? Very seldom at best, not consistently as your top QB's in the NFL do.
Now this, our defense lost this game, clear and simple. Nothing Alex did cost us the game. Yet when the game was on the line, Alex did fail on the last series, as much as the play calling was questionable, he made a costly error on the throw out of bounds and not take the sack, costing us a down in a 4 down territory. You can blame anybody you want, blocking assignments, Alex has to know what to do there in crunch time. Andy has to make sure he allows Alex the right situation to succeed, why ? Because he is a very good system QB, needing top level talent around him to succeed at the highest level of competition.
