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.

You think Denver fans said the same thing when they fired Fox after 4 division titles in a row then they won the super bowl?

The excuses for the guy never stop. Pretty much just have to watch the games and its right there.

You really are one of the more useless posters amongst he old farts on this forum. No one has said he's needed more receivers. In fact, Smith played quite well down the stretch despite his number one receiver playing very mediocre. Unlike last season, our receivers decided this season to be the second worst in dropped passes

My biggest problem with Smith has always been pocket presence. He doesn't step away and make plays. Even Chase Daniel was vastly superior in this aspect when he stepped in. He panics, scrambles and despite his mobility has zero ability to throw on the run. It's shock8ng when he completes a pass when a play breaks down. This last loss wasn't all his fault, the whole offense blew, but it's time to move on or at least groom a replacement. He's good enough to get you there, but he's not good enough to win these games.

And assholes like you are the reason why this forum is going to shit. kccrow is a valuable member of the forum who brings good insight, whereas you're a useless **** and a waste of oxygen.

The team has no room for error with Alex. I mean FFS the 6 of the last 8 losses were with the defense giving up 19 or fewer points.

This offense is set up perfectly for a young QB to come in and have success. Top 10 pass blocking OL, Kelce, Maclin, Hill, Conley, Ware.

What is the earliest we can plan on Smith being cut, released, concussion, etc....

How much longer til gone?

i would guess we keep him on for next year, then move on.

who know, though. i honestly wouldnt be surprised if we traded him this offseason. i dont think itd be hard to trade him for a pick, teams are always desperate for qbs. plenty will be this offseason.

The remaining of the'long time' posters are the problem. The good posters have left but will return when this group of imbeciles stop loitering

To BOTH of you...

Just because you disagree with "his side" of the smith argument does not make him any less useful than you.

Gonna be a tough day for Chiefs fans watching Brady easily rip apart the Steelers pathetic secondary like any average downfield QB can do.

Hell Matt Moore barely missed 300 yards passing going 29/36 and having a 98 QB rating while Alex couldn't do anything.
