Dude can play man. Not saying he is great or elite but he is a good, solid, QB. Hopefully Holmes can become an elite QB but in the meantime I hope Alex can get us a SB and I believe he can if we don't get f***ed by injuries and Justin Houston returns to his old form.

I don't disagree here.
I just think, next level success - deep playoff run / Conference Championship Game / SB appearance (and hopefully win) - is not something that can be attained with him at QB. Yes, he performed well against Indy, and yes he was part of the win in Houston (the Chiefs were up so big and early, his role was literally as simple as hand off the ball, don't fumble the snap, and don't throw an INT on the slim change we actually throw the ball), but I just don't see him doing much at all against the good teams we'd see in the divisional and championship rounds.
I sometimes jump into the Alex sucks threads and pile on, but it's mostly just for entertainment and the LULZ. I don't think he 'sucks' . I think he is average to above average. But I don't think he's necessarily good, to really good either. Just sort of .....there....if that makes sense. And certainly not anywhere near worthy of his salary or cap hit (but that's a completely different topic altogether).
I've joked before that he's a 2 year old stock Honda Civic. Nothing wrong with a Civic; reliable, capable, predictable etc....but you're not winning any races with it either, unless the other car (team) blows up at the line.
