MELLINGER: Should The Chiefs Move On From Smith?

[OnTheWarpath15]

Yep, another Alex Smith thread - but a solid and fair read from Sam Mellinger.

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.

Plenty of people appreciate kc crow. He just doesn't need constant positive or negative attention showing that people know who he is like someone we know.

Wow you can get people's attention for being annoying and ignorant on the internet. What a useful skill. Godspeed.

New article from last night.

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Friday that the Kansas City Chiefs are one team that could be interested in Romo. Rapoport said that K.C. has been looking to upgrade at the QB position after losing in the Divisional Round for the second straight season with Alex Smith under center.

"It was noteworthy when Andy Reid was non-committal to Alex Smith," Rapoport said on NFL Network. "They've made a QB trade in the past, doing so for Alex Smith. They'd have to be considered someone who would be a possibility."

Sounds like mindless speculation.

[RunKC]

Reporters float their opinion as reports all the time, but Rapoport floated the Dorsey/GB news from Bob McGinn who is by far the most respected journalist who covers the Packers.

I think Andy is finally serious about looking for the future at QB. He knows Alex's time is almost up.

There wouldn't be this much smoke if there wasn't a fire...we'll see

Noncommittal to Alex Smith? I swear I just heard Andy Reid say Alex is his guy.



Also **** Tony Romo I hope he ends his career carried off on a stretcher. Just quit playing dude.

Can you go one day without talking about me? The stalking is really, really weird. Aren't you a grown man? What would your (ex?) wife / kids think of your weird behavior?

And the Dorsey/GB shit is nothing but speculation and opinion, just like this Tony Romo shit that's flying around now.

McGinn was making shit up. It makes him look like he's actually getting some information on the Ted Thompson situation in Green Bay when in reality he's probably got nothing yet. It happens all the time with local beat writers. The problem is these days the NFL has about 20 national reporters with twitter accounts that connect themselves to the beat writers and local reporters for these teams. It starts out as a shitty thing to drum up talk among Packer fans in Milwaukee while their front office staff is receiving GM offers from other teams, and then we end up with Rappoport and PFT and all these other people acting like they've got a "source" on this utterly reeruned Dorsey rumor.

Did somebody rattle your chain or did yo step on it yourself ? I wasn't talking to you. You need to realize I'm not paying you any rent for taking up room in your head. Besides if I was talking to you you'd know it.
So, once again I'm going to ask you to quit stalking me. I've asked you at least a few times now.
I certainly hope you take this olive branch of helpful information in the spirit it was meant. I'm only trying to help you tigger...so.....
It's nobody's fault except your own you are not liked around here, or that you have no friends,that you have a mancrush on Alex Smiff that drives your existence on this board, or that you let your mom dress you funny every morning. We all get it. This is you. I'm sure IRL you think your best defense to how people treat you is a good offense. But when your an obtuse asshole It doesn't work IRL and it won't work here. And just so you know...It's OK if you have been wrong about your Boo. People make mistakes all the time. Just let it go...shed those shackles of your misplaced man crush for Alex. He's not worth it. This is going to hurt but.....Alex Smith doesn't even know who you are and doesn't care. It's time to let go tigger, we're all pulling for you.
You can thank me later.

I agree, but to be fair, McGinn's piece was basically his opinion when I read it. I think these reporters took it much farther than that used hyperbole to get clicks.

Imagine the accurate balls thrown more than 10 yards.

Romo to Tyreek deep would be ****ing nails.

Just imagine...

The problem with Smith isn't accuracy, he can actually throw a pretty accurate ball, even downfield. His problem is who to throw to and when. He's too cautious.
