I've been hoping Alex would find his balls since he got here and he gave us a taste of what he can be in the second half of 2013, the Indy playoff game and most of 2015.
Unfortunately, he regressed last year and "took it personally" (his own words) that the team cut Maclin.
I think his regression continues into 2017 because he keeps worrying about concussions and therefore stopped being an elusive runner and even told the media he thinks about taking hits and contemplated retirement.
It's a shame, too.
If the guy just makes either throw to Hill against Pittsburg, his story in KC plays out differently.

And people here blamed him for the 44-45 loss to the Colts, yet blamed the defense when Trent Green lost 38-38 against the Colts.
It's a Double Standard.
The Chiefs PASSED on Brees and gave up the #12 pick overall for him.
The compensation for Smith pales in comparison.
