"Growing sense" Chiefs moving on from Alex Smith

Sure they could.  Just have to build a fantastic defense, as Denver did last year.  When they won it with a qb who could barely throw the ball more than 10-15 yards.

That is a terrible old cliche, did anyone see how awful Peyton Manning was in BOTH the Superbowls??? Even the entire playoffs he was beyond terrible. Still won. Trent dilfer rode a great D to a win too, few other name-less QBs got there and some won.

Defense lead not Alex Smith. Plus those teams that win with mediocre QB plays are anomalies. And Peyton actually made some crucial throws in the playoffs, throws that Alex Smith is scared of attempting.

This moving would confusing becuz smiths contract is favorable for them to try and retain Berry. By releasing Smith my immediate thought is to free up cap for Berry. But then either Romo or Jimmy G would have a higher price tag than Smiths current. Interesting. 

Whst if they release Smith save cap and traded Berry after tagging him for a QB

Can we really be making fun of other teams QB's when we had the 28th ranked QB with the lowest completion % in the league and it wasn't even close (3.7% from 2nd worst for qualified qbs).

yeah we can because cam is a better quarterback than alex smith, full stop

do you think the chiefs would take cam newton right now?

The only reason I could think they would float a rumor of cutting Smith was if they were already in trade talks with someone and wanted to worry that team about him getting onto the free market. Smith would go fast and fairly expensive out there.

You think Fox in Chicago wouldn't rather have Smith than Cutler the Coach Killer?

    • I think we have some revisionist around it here because of all the drama around Tepper's involvement. If you pull up any scouting report from the time you'll see the same take. WalterFootball's report sums up the media's thoughts on him well: "Young has everything the NFL is looking for in a quarterback except in terms of weight and height." He was the consensus top QB of his draft and the only real question mark they had about him was whether his body could hold up in the NFL. The infamous Steph Curry comparison the Panthers latched onto came from Albert Breer. The excuses I've heard for him are more anecdotal. Bryce Young's development is the only bullet point most NFL fans have on the Panthers right now. That and the coaching turnover. If you're not actually watching our games it's easy to believe this is just a dysfunctional organization that doesn't know how to unleash this talented Heisman winner.  I've seen media and fans alike run with that narrative way more than criticizing Young outright. Whenever we win there's flocks who use it as proof that the Panthers just need to be patient.  
    • So maybe 1-3 vs playoff teams, going by standings as of today. I guess that is an improvement.  We are just about improved enough to be in purgatory draft wise. It really isn’t so bad in the 1st unless you really want that top QB or maybe edge guy because there are usually plenty of good players at the top but it hurts you some as get deeper in the draft.
