ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
Quote:
He was 30 for 39 with an almost 80% comp %. His rating was 107. No piks. One td. And our defense absolutely floundered after KC drove us down the field on the road for what should have been the game winning drive with about a minute left. He was pretty superhuman. He completely outplayed Stafford who was 18-29 KC - 301 MS - 266 KC had a 7.7 ypp and a rushing touchdown straight up the gut for like 15 yards. I went back to 2014 and cant even find a preseason game against Detroit that resembles those stats? |

We scored a whopping 17 points, which is part of KC's issues with the Skins, he put up numbers, but often they weren't followed by points. The defense held them to 20, which should be a winnable game, imo, especially with points gifted by turnovers. I'm not going to try and argue it's not a team sport, it is. And the Skins losses in Domed stadiums are certainly team losses. |

The other 3 quarters he managed 3 fumble(2 recovered on back to back plays) and 3 points total. KC was in full Checkdown Charlie mode for the first 3 quarters of the game (3 PTS!) with only 4 completions to Garcon and Jackson. It took a 10pt deficit to get him to open things up. What about the final game in that season where we absolutely needed a win for a shot at the playoffs? First 3 quarters, 3 Pts. One completed pass to Garcon/Jackson. Notice a trend here? I wish KC well but he isn't on my team anymore so F him! He also never did shit for us. No playoff wins or 10 win seasons. F that guy. |

ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
Quote:
No. It was an absolute defensive gem of a game, and Our oline, st’s was terrible. We missed an easy fg. We had terrible penalties. BUT KC came through in crunch time. Anyway I already said I think Smith will fit better in Grudens offense. I was simply pointing out a dome game that Cousins didn’t lose - quite the contrary- he almost won for us- based on C Reds theory that he would be terrible in Minny based on his dome record. I was in no way lamenting letting him go. Also you are going to take two games, and cry trend? Come on. Cousins was terrible in the first three quarters of games now? Based on your F that guy comment the only trend I see is that you are not a fan. Lol Edit - i was a huge KC fan while he was here. Now im a huge Smith fan. But all this Cousins is the reason we lost for the last few years or never won a playoff game is garbage. We had NO run game. We had NO defense. We were undisciplined as hell. Grudens play calling was suspect to say the least. Injuries were ridiculous. But again since the switch at quarterback ive been nothing but optimistic about the future so.... |

For the record I like KC and think he is a good QB, around 10th best in the league if I had to rank him. He is conservative and a "process" guy, this shouldn't be news to anyone. those two games are just for the first two examples that come to mind, we all remember that hearbreaking giants game. He is going to a 13-3 team who has young talent at RB and WR. There's no excuses for him. With that said, I don't care how he does in Minnesotas Dome! F that guy because he isn't my guy! I agree that AS is a good fit for Grudens system and he is a San Diego guy so he has to be awesome!

Wow. Im not sure how much clearer i can be about saying that i think Smith is the better quarterback for us. Lol. I cant bold the first sentence of your reply (cant be done on my phone, or maybe i dont know how) or i would have. I was one of KC’s biggest fans on this board WHILE HE WAS HERE. Since than, I have been nothing but optimistic about Smith and our future. Do I have to say “fuck that guy” to make you believe that me and my chubby are over it and moving on? Because I wont. I am not going to curse him now that he is gone. He was the best quarterback we had in twenty years. But I challenge u to find one post i have made since he left where I complained in any way about it. |

No doubt his legs add another dimension, and he is much more careful with the ball. Again I think Cousins will thrive with the offense Minny runs and those wr’s. I think Smith will thrive in our offense. So even though I think Cousins put us on his back in crunch time in some game in a dome in 2016 I think Smith will excel in our offense. Ive said several times in several different threads since the change that we will be better for it. Not because KC was bad, but we aren’t a gun slinger offense. Guice is a real key to the upcoming season. If he is the game changer I think he will be our offense is going to be methodic, precise, and efficient as hell. HTTR |

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
KC sucks ass. Cannot play in a dome. Every loss we had while he was here was his responsibility based on either poor play or a lack of leadership.
He was terrible in the Detroit game and the loss was all his fault.

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
Man I got my threads mixed up, I was going to call KC a racist and puppy kicker.

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
And our run game - im not sure if im overhyping Guice or not. I just think he is going to play with a chip on his shoulder since so many teams passed on him so many times. Plus it will not be tough to be better than what we have had since Portis.
