Alex beat Brian Hoyer and the Texans. 30-0. ****, Alex could've gone 0-25 for 0 yards and we still would've won that game. Green had to face Peyton Manning and the Colts against a defense that didn't force them to punt once. And Green was fantastic in that game.
Again, Smith had no losing seasons because of his defense. Green had losing seasons because his defense was so bad. Similar to what Mahomes had to deal with at Texas Tech.
If Green just had a competent defense, **** even THIS YEAR'S defense, during his time in KC, he would have won alot more.
Typical Chiefs, have an above average QB and dynamic offense for 5 years yet can't field an even average defense for those 5 years.

Are you going to recognize that Smith has had to face Roethlisberger and Brady in the playoffs?
There's no excuses for Alex this game. He did not play a winning style of football vs an inferior opponent.
But to hold the success or failures of defenses during his time as QB, and Green's as well, as to posture your argument is inaccurate. Fact is he has performed, statistically speaking, pretty much on par if not better than Green during his time in KC.

I don’t hold high regard for any QB the Chiefs have previously had because they’ve never been the reason for the little success the teams have had. You are right though. Many hold that 2003 team in higher regard than they should. I’m not one. The oline was tremendous, Preist and Gonzalez were fantastic, and Trent was Alex or worse perhaps. The defense was a dumpster fire.

You're one of the view people who I have seen hold him in that light and are at least able to recognize that he deserves as much credit as Green.
