A thought while looking at KC's offense.

At the moment (in the 4th), it's not going exactly well for the Chiefs, but I think that's more about lack of execution than anything else. But, especially for those with DVRs who care to do so, I am thinking that their offensive play calls would be perfect for us...that is if Shula is going to continue to champion Cam being a game manager. I don't know if KC's O-line is ranked better than ours, but they haven't looked all that great in this game, and Smith has eaten The Colts' defense up with his legs and those shorter ball control passes. They've sprinkled in just enough shots down the field, used those crossing routes across the middle with precision, and have thrown in a few passes to their backs.  Yeah, it could be Smith making them look effective, but I am thinking that Cam (and our offensive personnel) can do it better. I hope that Shula is taking notes.

Alex Smith seems to throw on target downfield. I don't understand the hate for his downfield throwing ability after this game. If Dwayne Bowe wasn't high as a kite he would remember it was 4th down and he needed to keep his foot in bounds.

 

A better throw and he would have been in bounds. IT was tight coverage and he had to reach back for the ball. Kinda hard to stay in bounds when you are that close to the sidelines an have to adjust to the ball with a defender on you.

Always account for Andy Reid's system when you judge a QB.

 

Reid runs a very QB friendly offense.  Every one he's ever coached has looked awful if they've gone to any other team.

 

Alex Smith didn't look awful last year, either.  So I don't think that's a good explanation for him.

Kinda hard to remember your 6'3 when your fried.

lol what? What does height have to do with anything???? The ball was behind him.....

That if Dwayne Bowe was worth the money he gets, he would have the presence of mind to understand the situation and make a better attempt to get his feet closer together. He had length advantage over the DB and it showed. Alshon Jeffrey made that catch several times this year.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Wanting that type of play and being okay with paying $55 million a season for it are two entirely different things. If Bryce were to become the same player Purdy has been, then he would surpass my expectations of him and I'd be okay with him as our QB of the future (and again, I've long been one of the bigger anti Bryce people here who doesn't think he is capable of being our long term solution). But in no world would I be okay with paying him THAT kind of money, paying an average starter elite money is just a terrible decision.

      I don't think they can overcome that mistake. Hell Lance was a hiccup compared to this. He isn't going to be able to carry that price tag and now he is going to have to do just that. Lol. The NFL is so dumb sometimes.

      So, one could say that T-Mac is quicker than someone of his size should be and while he might not be quite as fast as Evans in the 40, he's more athletic than Evans. If only someone, anyone, could have seen that in his tape and mentioned that on here, hmmmmmmm In all seriousness, hearing he tested in the 89th percentile in that drill at his size is crazy impressive.  Just tried to look up the times of the top WRs in the league right now, most don't show at time for that, but I did see Chase ran his in 7 seconds flat. I honestly don't know how true this is, but I do remember seeing one breakdown of his tape and the person said he has quiet and efficient feet.  That he's really good at using the minimal steps possible to make his cuts and because of that, it actually makes him look slower to the human eye because you don't see all the quick chop steps that the guys like Tyreek would use in their running. I'm still in a state of disbelief that he's a Panther and it might not fully hit me until week 1 and I see him out there making plays for us, still feels like Goodell is going to just be like, "YOU GOT PUNKED!!!  hahaha, he's a Cowboy now, suck it"
