Wrap it up. That's all you need to know.
Bump.
KC fan, Alex was on the most talented team in the league and still had issues and was very sporadic from game to game. Your guy Bowe is money wasted with Alex at QB. You guys need to spend that money on TEs with Alex at QB. Drives will stall and scores will be low because he will not try to make nifty throws because he can't. He will rarely make a good throw if he doesn't have perfect space and his legs underneath him. He will rarely adjust his aim at the last second.
He has a marginal arm and his ability is over rated. What he will provide you is a good brain that understands the playbook and how it works on paper. Veering from that to make plays is his weakness. He is a robotic player which is why he is great if everything works as designed.
One word
Limited.
Where were you last week when he carved up the Saints defense?
2 letters
BS
You mean all the checkdowns? Saints are a very aggressive defense but they forgot that Alex feeds off blitzer via his TE's and RB's. I said it after that game, if you blitz one man and focus more on the underneath targets and less outside the hashes, Smith turns into junk.
Don't worry, you will see.
The Saints allowed for Smith's reads to work as written as the plays were designed. If you blitz one man, he immediately goes to what the playbook says and will quickly eliminate his WR's as targets because he will anticipate pressure. Like I said, if the defense does not focus on the underneath targets, then Smith is Golden. If they force him to throw to his WR's in man coverage...he sucks.
