I don't see what the big deal is with what Alex said. How would you feel if you were the starting QB and the team traded up to pick a QB in the first round? Do you expect Alex Smith to say nothing like a robot? Not going to happen. He's a good guy but he is human. He has seen this movie before.
Alex is a class act. He isn't going to start a controversy so I have no worries there. He clearly wants to keep playing football after this year. I took the quote as simply letting NFL teams know, including the Chiefs, don't count me out yet. Basically telling the Chiefs if you decide to move on, fine, but I am going to keep playing football whether it is here or somewhere else.
Alex isn't stupid, he has to know a lot of fans here don't like him. I'm sure he feels underappreciated. You can't expect him to say 'hey whatever the Chiefs do is fine. Im sure PM2 is better than me. Start him this year. I suck' Alex is a competitor. He isn't going to go out like that.
I'm sure he loves playing here and everything but at the end of the day if we release him and he goes somewhere else, even a division rival, and he keeps playing, I wouldn't blame him. You guys talk more crap on him here than you do the Raiders and Broncos combined. Talking about how you want the guy to die, tear his ACL, how he is a loser, etc... And then you want to get upset because he says he wants to keep playing football and that he has seen this movie before? HA!
If I was Alex I'd be a lot less polite than he is being.
