GO AWAY YOU ****ING LOSER. LEAVE NOW AND NEVER COME BACK.

Alex Smith expresses his desire to return to Chiefs in 2018

Quote:

The Kansas City Chiefs' season ended earlier than they anticipated.

The No. 4 seed in the AFC coughed up an 18-point lead in a 22-21 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Saturday, setting up an offseason of uncertainty.

Chief among that will be quarterback Alex Smith.

Despite leading Kansas City to a 10-6 record and AFC West title, the Chiefs are said to be open to trading the veteran pivot. The team set up its future by trading up in April's draft to select quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Smith has just one year left on his four-year, $68-million contract, and intends to see it through.

"Yeah, I mean, you kidding me? I signed the contract," Smith said when asked after the game if he'd like to stay in Kansas City, according to Nick Shook of NFL.com.

"I'm under contract for another year, so like I said, I'm not thinking about anything else. Right now, obviously disappointed. Like I said, I felt like we had a good chance, and it's gone."

Under Smith's direction, the Chiefs raced out to a 5-0 start to the season, hit a lull in which they lost six of their next seven games, then won their final four contests.

On Saturday, Smith threw two first-half touchdowns to give Kansas City a 21-3 cushion, but went 5 of 10 for 33 yards in the second half.

The 13-year veteran wasn't prepared to dive further into his future so soon after the loss.

"The game just ended," Smith said. "We'll get into all of that in the next couple of weeks."

But sure, there'll be your token fall-on-the-sword dismissal and it will probably be Bob Sutton.

As for how can Smith return? Well, if the situation wasn't good for Mahomes to start in 2017 (suspect offensive line, bad defense, a drop off of any receivers worth anything after Kelce and Hill) ... then how is 2018 going to be any better?

I won't even rehash the statistical arguments for his return because the worthless shitbird of a poster in Tigger can just do that for me.

I think Pettine would be a great replacement for Sutton.

In the salary cap era, there is no way the Chiefs can justify keeping Smith when Mahomes should be ready.

Pettine is intriguing, yes. Don't know what he and Reid's relationship is like.

Not at all a fan of Pettine. Sutton can run the Ryan scheme as well as anybody. The problem is the scheme, not the coordinator. The best defenses in the league are aggressive and Pettine's will give us more of the same. For the same reason we should avoid an unaggressive zone like Sean McDermott's.

If we're going after a defense, it should be more like Pittsburgh, Carolina, or Minnesota. I actually think Carolina is realistic because it's a lot like Jim Johnson scheme. Don't see why it couldn't also be run with a 3-4 front.

If you want a Jim Johnson scheme, Spags is your huckleberry.

Give me a coordinator who turns our defense into a rabid dog. High accountability and desire to crush the opponents will.

I’m a no on any passive shit.

It'd be a perfect marriage with a Mahomes led offense. Just a highly aggressive team that will test the limits of other teams' will.

Toughness isn’t going to happen on a Reid coached team. They are as soft as he is.

the last home playoff win alex has is when he was with the 49ers and that was a thrilling game.

jerryforeverrice80 · 01-07-2018, 11:53 AM

this team has a lot of good young talent and its best to let them grow together and get a new DC.

I want a D-Coordinator that is an aggressive animal.

I know the Rams lost, but Phillip's defense was blowing shit up out there.

The **** if it is.

Andy Reid is a major problem. We will never win a SB with him. It’s like people forgot how he completely ****ed legendary Eagles teams.

We haven’t seen that Alex in KC when it mattered. He hasn’t been clutch in the postseason.
