Tim Couch Pulls Out Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 I think Alex smith is a very average but efficient QB. I think Andy Reid had a lot more to do with it than smith. Maybe, in that he realized the wealth of talent on his defense and let them win games. When you have a defense as talented as the Chiefs' defense, you don't need a high powered offense to win. You don't need a quarterback to take unnecessary risks. You just need an efficient game manager, which Alex Smith is. Smith had plenty of strong, strong performances this year (Oakland coming to mind), but his biggest asset is the limited amount of turnovers he yields. Its a similar situation as Seattle's, hence the reason they are #1 and #2 in turnover differential. Reid recognized the strong points of this team and played to their advantages. There wasn't a lot of roster turnover from the previous regime, which points to better coaching. Their main acquisition was Smith, a guy who had been written off as falling short of expectations. Put any other quarterback from their history behind center this year and the Cheifs don't fare as well, I'm sure of it. Same goes for coaching, put any other coach on their sidelines and I don't think they are quite as successful. This was the perfect marriage.

tml1138 Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 There's some talk now that Knowshon Moreno isn't expected to re-sign with the Broncos, and will be FA in 2014 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdl15 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I'm sure we'll hit a homerun like last year. Throwin goobs of money to Kruger and Cliff Avril going to Seattle for a song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
