Andy Reid on Mike & Mike: "Alex is our quarterback by the way"

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Don't want to read too much into the conversation but just watched Andy on M&M this morning and he made it clear that Alex was the QB. Mentioned that he could still play, was at the Pro Bowl (), and can do all the things he wants his guy to do.

In essence, we can put any talk of Tony Romo, Nick Foles, or any other retread to bed. But, they did talk about college system QBs briefly (no one specific), and he said that as long as they feel like a guy can learn, it is their job to transition a college system QB and that it doesn't effect their decision on which type to take.

So, will we draft a QB? Idk, my bet is on yes since Foles is apparently gone.

After Alex smith we will be starting our own groomed QB that we drafted under Reid, im 99% sure of it in my own mind... However, Alex isnt going anywhere for the next 4 years or so if not maybe 5-6... But we will be drafting a QB in rounds 2-3 in 4 years from now, but the constant bitching about how we need to draft one right now just isnt going to happen because alex is a solid starting QB and Reid loves him and knows he can win the big one with him. If that sentence alone makes you hate my post and w.e else so be it, but its the truth, and usually people hate hearing the truth when it isnt the truth they want.

1 more year, at most. Contractually and based on the draft, I guess 2 is possible, but if they wanted to extend him they'd have done it last year when an extension would've freed up substantial cap space so there's no way the're looking past 2.

We'll see who's right. I say there's a 20% chance they move on this year, 80% chance after next season and a 99% chance he's gone prior to 2019.

Y'know what, nevermind

'elected to the pro bowl' and 'stupid reeruned qb argument u all have' tells me all I need to know about who I'm working with here.

And that it's just not worth the time.

Because elected and replaced are a huge difference, it doesnt change the point of the pro bowl appearance... and because I dont dwell hours into arguing about a argument that I dont agree needs to be argued about makes me whom exactly?

I dont see any QB controversy here, I dont see anyone on our roster better than Smith So I dont see why anyone argues over something that theres no "argument" to be had.

If you want to inject a fair point to the argument, inject the one that states Alex Smith had absolutely no business being in the Pro Bowl. The dude was in the bottom 3rd in just about every single statistic the NFL tracks at the position.

I'm being very reasonable, in my mind, in stating that the Kansas City Chiefs win in spite of the play of Alex Smith and not because of it. So I automatically dispel any notion that "all Alex does is Win."

I have yet to see an "around the league" view that Alex Smith is a "solid starting QB." He has been ridiculed in national media circles for years for his lack of aggression and "game manager" play style. I've never seen anyone say "Alex Smith can win you a Super Bowl." You never see Alex Smith in top-10 QB lists made outside of his team's realm of fans.

Any notion that Alex Smith is a "good" or "above average" QB isn't thought by anyone I know. I can tell you wholeheartedly that there isn't anyone in the NFC North area that has ever mentioned Alex Smith. No Bears' fan ever said to me "I'd love it if the Bears had Alex." No Vikings' fan ever said to me "Man, you guys are lucky to have Alex."

Other than Alex Smith fan boys and a few fans that are optimistic that the Chiefs can win with whomever they trot out there every year, there is nobody that believes KC can win with Alex Smith. If those people exist, I have yet to meet one.

I'm not even being irrational. I'm not saying this for the sake of argument. If I had legitimately heard any talk about Alex being a solid starting QB or a Pro Bowl calibur QB, or that Alex can guide the Chiefs to a Super Bowl, I'd shut the **** up.

Alex Smith is, and always has been, a bottom third QB in a top third league.

I gave the Chiefs a better chance to win the Super Bowl with Alex Smith than with any other QB they've had since Joe Montana came here, because this supporting cast is far more talented than any other roster they've had. It isn't because Alex Smith is here. It's actually disappointing watching the QB inhibit an otherwise extremely talented team.

That should tell you exactly how bad he thinks Smith was in that game.


It may end up defining him

Based on his 'fair point' we should have never moved on from Matt Cassel.

Like I said, this really isn't worth the trouble. He's just not terribly intelligent. And really, I don't mean that as an indictment of any sort but rather a simple statement of fact. He uses 'u' as a word, was unable to posit a counter-point without resorting to 'stupid reeruned argument' and is seemingly unaware that the plural form of something ending is 'y' is 'ies', as in 'parties'.

Dude's just dim. Stick to engaging Baby Lee; that's at least interesting. With this kid you're just debating Nietzsche with a dalmatian.

I used to think you were a cool guy. Now, not so much.... Ive always agreed with almost everything youve ever posted on this website. And again, We have come to opposite odds of a topic, and now im the most reeruned person on the forum? OK COOL !

And im 24, have a family, have 2 degree's working on getting my masters for criminal justice. Im not dumb, But I also didn't know this was a forum where I needed to focus on my spelling or put perfect sentences together to be granted a pass on being able to have a conversation. If your criteria for being smart is what you posted above, then 99% of the people on this board should be on your ignore or not talk to list (if thats even possible) since no one here uses proof read English on every post... I have red lines all over my post because of my lazy english since I prefer to be laid back when not in a professional setting, or when im simply ****ing around on my computer talking football, obviously you seem to think otherwise.

Im not disagreeing with what your saying in a sense...

Can we do better than Alex Smith? YES... Is there anyone on the market that we can get thats better? No. Does that mean I wanted to keep cassell? NO..

What im saying is I would love nothing more than to see us draft a QB early.. However, my point is hes not going anywhere because hes a solid QB (thats where you and others may disagree) however I do think hes a solid QB, heaven forbid the worlds ending.... Reid thinks hes a solid QB... Therefore, I think its pretty safe to say, we wont be drafting any QB in the years to come (meaning next 3 years).. in 4 years i can 100% see us drafting a replacement; learn behind alex guy... Alex SHOULD be a stop gap, and we SHOULD be finding a replacement for him NOW.. What im saying is its not gonna happen because Reid thinks hes solid enough to win a superbowl. Something I also agree with, but that doesnt mean we shouldnt be looking for the next Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers in the draft... If we had one of them, we would be in the superbowl this year, no doubt in my mind.

So excited for 10 wins and one and done. Can't wait for the off season where I can hear about having the best oline in the league now that we added FA X and how the defense will dominate with draft pick Y starting week 1.

You won't have to worry about that here.
