KCSLC2008 606 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Michael Crabtree: Who would have thought that Jeremy Maclin woulda been a good fit for Alex Smith. Them guys hitting it off like that, it's chemistry, man. Great fit. https://www.google.com/amp/www.ninersnation.com/platform/amp/2016/5/5/11602324/michael-crabtree-who-would-have-thought-that-jeremy-maclin-would-be-a?client=safari# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCSLC2008 606 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Alex Smith was voted by players as #81 on the Top 100 List. I think this is the first time he's been on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhataLerror 370 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Alex Smith was voted by players as #81 on the Top 100 List. I think this is the first time he's been on the list. Colin Kaepernick's been on the list twice, and placed 81st in both years. Two years later, he's a poor training camp and being depth charted behind a healthy quarterback away from being out of the league entirely. Based on past poll results, the players polled for these lists are unqualified to vote. Smith is better than the 81st-most important player in the league.

Chiefsfan1963 1,101 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Alex Smith was voted by players as #81 on the Top 100 List. I think this is the first time he's been on the list.I heard Gonzo and a few others a few years back mention that they had no clue who voted for this, they never did. I believe this is just a popularity thing like the Pro Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugsy 225 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I was thinking about Alex on my drive into work this morning. What if he had a stable offensive coordinator like Reid for his first five years in the league? What if he had played in a system early in his career that augmented his strengths like the one in KC? He might have had a completely different career. He might have even been elite. I believe a lot of a QBs ability to succeed is based on being in the right situation.

In San Francisco, what you describe here is to this day referred to as "Alexcuses". The basic philosophy on this is that 'elite quarterbacks are born, not made', but you can't substantiate such a view with factual anecdotes. Alex Smith was the first overall selection of 2005, so the expectation was that he would develop to become an elite player. The accepted history in San Francisco is now that the franchise set him up for failure: They didn't get him the necessary pieces for their offensive line (leading to many hits and injuries), they didn't get him the necessary continuity in coaching (seven offensive coordinators in seven years, with some offensive coordinators never coaching again in the league following their firing), and they didn't grant him the respect due a player around whom a franchise ought to be built (the head coach publicly called out the toughness of his quarterback a mere few weeks after a Grade Three Shoulder Separation). Despite these hurdles, Smith has shown that he has not reached any sort of ceiling. With an improved supporting cast comes improved performance, and the Chiefs definitely have room to grow so as to have the pieces on offense that would be comparable to the record-setting squads employed by teams such as the 2011 Saints or the 2013 Broncos. In salvaging a legacy, Smith's lost years will be hard to overcome; it would take an incredible late career surge for him to be considered for the Hall of Fame. Even so, he has proven that he is one of the league's best quarterbacks. Every reasonable person can expect that a healthy Chiefs team can push beyond its achievements in 2015, and Alex Smith will be at the forefront of that.

West 6,714 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 The 49er Organization is still in a state of disarray. The Ownership group is dysfunctional, egocentric and inept. Chip Kelly is a fresh coat of paint on a sinking ship. We should also thank God for the Hunt Family......They are a class act. w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhataLerror 370 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 He won a lot of games for them. Bet they would love to have him back. Strangely, the Kaepologists do not regret the trade of Alex Smith. They even believe that Kaepernick will enjoy a renaissance under Chip Kelly's coaching, even though so many leading football experts have very clearly indicated that the Kelly offense suits a quarterback like Gabbert that can make quick reads, as opposed to the more athletic but mentally slower Kaepernick.

KCSLC2008 606 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 When he wasn't listed in years prior, I thought it was a meaningless list. So I guess I should stick to that. But if deciding whether to be or not, it's better he's in there. When I saw Luck at 90 or so, I thought Smith would be snubbed again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His credibility has taken a hit over Kaepernick, but as wrong as he was about Kaepernick, people will soon be seeking his opinion once again.

azchief21 5,278 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 We are pinning down our travel arrangements to visit Arrowhead. It looks like we will be able to go to Chiefs vs. Saints. So it will be great to watch one of the best. most successful quarterbacks in the NFL. Oh and Drew Brees will be playing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
