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.

That part of the play wasn't "schemed." That's a scramble drill.

Smith is improvising because he botched reading the coverage and pressure made him run.

The RB completed his route, saw the QB running and took off trying to give him an open target.

You're just making excuses because you like Alex Smith.

IMO, he watches Hill run open..when he takes the snap and goes back and plants.. he should be firing the ball...that hesitation cost them the play.

What is clear from watching years of Alex Smith is that he doesn't anticipate guys coming open.

Other than a few rare instances (mostly on predetermined throws), he mostly throws the ball WHEN they are open.

He dropped back and saw a safety near enough to Tyreek Hill that when a pass rusher flashed in his vision, escaping from that scary guy took priority over waiting any longer for Hill to get "Alex Smith open."

He plays from a place of fear and will continue to do so as long as it wins 10-12 games and earns him big fat checks.

Apart from blind hope, what happens there that makes you think Hill's a decoy? Moreover, what in the world would've stopped him from actually catching the pass as he continued to look Smith's way, even if he was a decoy.

I don't believe for a second he was a decoy nor do I think a professional athlete would've been so shocked by seeing a ball come his way that he'd have wet himself and turtled.

If Alex thinks that Hill can't make that play, it's not a dehydrated goat, it's a vapor-locked engine. It's picture perfect 'paralysis by analysis' and if your physically limited game manager of a QB is getting locked up by that, just exactly what is it that he does out there?

He absolutely has to make that play. He just has to.
this is totally correct

My point is that the Chiefs had been contained to that point. If Alex can just spot not just an open guy, but a wide the **** open guy streaking alone down the field before feeling the need to break from a clean pocket, then an explosive play like that would have put Pittsburgh back on their heels both offensively and defensively.

We would have made the AFCCG if that play is made, I have zero doubt. Alex didn't have it in him to make that play (or even the one to the running back).
Or the defense forces another punt. Or if the receivers didn't drop five passes. Or Reid learns how to call plays. Or special teams did something meaningful.

That's how you average 1 TD per game as an NFL QB. I don't see the issue.

I mean, get better defense, better lineman, and better receivers. All is good.
