The Kansas City Chiefs may have one of the best rosters in the game. I can't put them on my list of legitimate contenders though, because of one thing: quarterback Alex Smith. I think this team was a year too late picking up a young quarterback, and I don't think it can win a Super Bowl with Smith under center.

Yes, Kansas City can probably get into the playoffs. It can probably earn a first-round bye. I just don't see this as a team that can win it all when Smith is a quarterback who can't make the exceptional throws or even the slam dunk throws in moments that count.

Go back and watch the film from last year's playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Chiefs could have won that game by 10 points if Smith had been able to hit some routine throws down the stretch. He couldn't, and that's why I can't call the Chiefs contenders.
