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.

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.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
