Kansas City is unbeatable if he plays like this. But at some point he'll revert to game managing them out of the playoffs.Terry_Tate;1562338 wrote:Alex Smith making plays. Damn.
I don't really disagree with this. I mean on one hand there's no way the 49ers should have paid what the Chiefs paid to keep him around (because of Kaep), but at the same time it's not like Alex Smith lost his job because of poor performance and he was actually playing pretty damn well.Iliketurtles;1562350 wrote: I've always said that the 49ers should have kept him as the starter.
Harbaugh went with the hot hand and it pretty much worked out except for the last game of the year. Add that to what you just said (regarding paying him) and the fact Kap is much younger. I would say Kap was the no brainer move.lhslep134;1562352 wrote:I don't really disagree with this.

Tied for 29th (with Brandon Weeden) among qualifying players in the NFL yards/attempt. That's dead last. He's absolutely a game manager.SportsAndLady;1562349 wrote:Remember when BR was adamant about the Browns not signing Alex Smith because he's a game manager who can't play in a vertical offense? lol
Yeah still not convinced he would lead the browns to the playoffs. NOW, if Andy Reid was the coach, that would be a different story.Mulva;1562355 wrote:Tied for 29th (with Brandon Weeden) among qualifying players in the NFL yards/attempt. That's dead last. He's absolutely a game manager.
He makes fewer mistakes than just about any QB in the league, and fewer big plays than just about any QB in the league.
He's been making plays all game..perhaps he just doesn't really need to make plays week in and week out?Mulva;1562355 wrote:Tied for 29th (with Brandon Weeden) among qualifying players in the NFL yards/attempt. That's dead last. He's absolutely a game manager.

I already said if he plays like this the Chiefs are unbeatable. This game is an exception to the rule of his career.SportsAndLady;1562363 wrote:He's been making plays all game..perhaps he just doesn't really need to make plays week in and week out?
He's obviously showing in this game he can a) make plays and b) be a vertical passing threat
Should've been a TD the other way lolmhs95_06;1562378 wrote:I think Shepard had to "re-grip" the ball just after going OB and it should be KC ball.
