MELLINGER: Should The Chiefs Move On From Smith?
Yep, another Alex Smith thread - but a solid and fair read from Sam Mellinger.

Quote:
The only way forward is through brutal honesty and realistic self-evaluation. No sport moves as quickly, or with such little empathy, as the NFL.

Only fools assume what happened in the past will continue to happen in the future, unless that assumption is “the Patriots will win every year from now until armageddon because Bill Belichick is an alien.”

And so it is that this particular group of Chiefs players and executives attempt to solve a puzzle that no group of Chiefs players and executives has solved since 1970, which is so long ago CBS erased the tape to save money:

Get to the Super Bowl.

And it’s hard to believe that will happen without addressing the quarterback situation.

This is not a call for the Chiefs to walk away from Alex Smith, even though this is the first offseason since his arrival in which they could do it without a fatal salary cap hit. This is a call for them to look, to try, to make sure they don’t have access to a better option — whether that’s Tony Romo in a trade, Deshaun Watson in the draft (which would almost certainly require a trade up), or anything else.

Brad Johnson followed up Shaun King, who took his team to the conference championship in 1999, and then won a Super Bowl in 2002.

Carr because he's had the luxury of playing behind the #1 line his career. Cousins' true worth remains to be seen when he doesn't have the luxury of 5 legitimate targets to throw to.
You pimp Alex Smith and call Cam and Luck over rated funny.

You do know that Andrew Luck beat Alex Smith in 2014 playoffs right? Alex started out the game great but couldn't finish the job and let the Colts back in it and Andrew Luck made the big plays and Alex Smith did a choke job because he doesn't play consistent four quarters.

I think most people agree that he's middle of the pack.

It's just so tough to gauge his contribution because his greatest strength is just not ****ing up.. But then you re-watch game film and see that by not ****ing up he's actually ****ing you over by leaving multiple big plays and points on the field.

The problem with the average fan regarding Chiefs QB.

We just need to give him more tools to work with.
Gets more tools.

We just need to fill in a gap or two.
Files in gaps.

We need to provide him a better WR.
Gets better WR.

We need to get him better tools.

Yeah, Smith ran out of excuses this year.

He had as many weapons as anyone still standing and had some of the best pass protection of any QB in the league.

He's not going to get any better than the last 2 years. The most interesting part is that if you took some of those weapons away and gave him a worse OL, he probably wouldn't even get that much worse.

Smith's greatest strength is his ability to be mediocre even in bad situations. It's not something I'd have ever expected, really.

He should carry value to a team like the Browns, to be honest. He can bridge the gap in a march towards the middle (like he did for the Chiefs) and help paper over some shittyness on that roster. He's an odd duck in that he just pulls everything towards the middle. Bad roster - gets 7-9 to 9-7 results out of the offense. Great roster - gets 7-9 to 9-7 results out of the offense.

He's a good stepping stone QB and there really are some teams that could use that. But the Chiefs are no longer one of them, IMO. Time to figure out a new solution.
