Around the NFL - 2013

lol @ pro bowls

the only thing you need to know about pro bowls is that donovan mcnabb leads off his resume with them

[reese125]

wait so alex smith had gore, crabtree, v davis and a stellar d to make him the "one of the top qb's in the league before he got hurt" and he has who exactly now on the chiefs thats going to make him that happen again?

cmon man--apples and oranges of teams when making that statement. smith has proven that when he has to change systems over time he shteins the bed. you want to turn around a franchise alex smith is not on your priority list

[Dillen]

Yeah, to be fair, he had like 3 different OCs and 3 different systems in his first 3 years or some shtein. Not exactly ideal situation to smoothly transition into the NFL.

The 2nd round pick is laughable but in comparison to who they could have drafted with that pick, it's probably a wash.  I think Smith is a really good fit for Reid's offense.  His mobility is underrated and his accuracy is about 10000x better than McNabb's ever was.  I'm not saying that Smith is the 2nd coming of Montana, but he's definitely an above average QB. 

[Don Ho]

Steve Bono, Joe Montana, Elvis Grbac, Alex Smith, where 49ers go to retire.

Damn straight.  Good one bionic.  Don't forget Steve Deberg.  I believe he also played in KC after SF.

[hbionic]

I was going to add him but wasn't sure if he played for them.

The Cardinals gave up a 2 and DRC for Kevin Kolb.  A.J. Feeley landed a 2.  Remind me again why an established bridge starter like Alex Smith isn't worth a 2 & a 4.

[Rome]

He was 19-5-1 in his last 25 starts.

But of course that was because of everyone else on the team.  If he weren't the quarterback they would have won all 25.

AMIRITE?!?

[General_Failure]

He didn't take them to the superbowl, so apparently he's awful.

You people make me hate loving sports.

showing example after example of terrible trades where a team gave up too high of a pick for a bad qb is not exactly the best way to make your point

but i can add one to help

chiefs gave up a high second for matt cassel

[reese125]

not to mention he now goes from throwing 20 passes a game to 40 with reid--and thats exactly what he'll be doing being behind every game....not exactly the strong arm qb i want doing that

[Rome]

Pretty sure he threw more than 20 passes a game.  And he's better than anyone else on the Chiefs roster, or for that matter, the Eagles roster.  I would have given up a second for him in a heartbeat, especially with the skill position players the Eagles already have. 

Give me a guy who doesn't make mistakes, who manages the game with intelligence and poise, but who is also capable of bringing a team back in the fourth quarter (which he did six times in 2011) over Vick & Sunshine Bass any day of the week.

[rjs246]

Other than the fact that you just described Donovan McNabb I agree. Add something about accuracy and it's a viable point.

im not saying alex smith is the worst qb ever or that he isnt better than vick or foles (btw they might be the worst starting qb's in the nfl) i just wouldnt have given up what kansas city did to get him
