He received a massive amount of PMs begging him to stay LMAO

That being said, penbrook is probably grounded and not allowed to use the internet for a few weeks or something.

Can't wait for a real qb to come in so we can prove once and for all how wrong this idea is. Our receivers play like shit because our qb won't throw them the ball, including one of the most explosive receivers in the game. Our RB is struggling because defenses are loading 8 in a box. Our ol is struggling because our qb can't stretch a simple cover 2. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that defenses are specifically scheming against our qbs limitations.

This is football. It's a team sport but the qb is by far the most influential piece. And in the last 5 games, our qb has played like complete dog shit.

Totally agree. He absolutely needs a running game to be comfortable in the passing game. Andy has circumvented the issue of lack of a running game at times with misdirection, quick bubble screens, delayed shovel passes, gimmick/trick plays, etc, ala smoke and mirrors, but it isnt working now.

Its like what some commentator said last week. They really have no offensive identity right now .....other than trick plays.

Someone that is remotely impartial should look deeper into how well most QBs perform when they have minimal run game to balance the offense.

Who is willing, and not the slackass that I am. :)

It's the same QB. You think he forgot how to play football in a couple wks?

It is not a simple zone defense. If you think it is so easy, you go out and you try beating it. Defenses are disguising it well and confusing him. And it is not just the passing game that is struggling, our running game is horrible right now. Teams are not stacking the box, zone D gets killed when you do that they are running a base zone D. Our running has got to improve as well posters here just don't like to talk about that because it does not involve criticizing Smitty.

Reid deserves blame too he's the one who is calling the plays. Reid will figure the zone D out. Reid and Smitty are both too good not to.

I'm confident things will change. What defenses are trying is working right now but it will not work forever. Smitty will get back on track. I'm actually glad it is happening now. Gives us time to figure it out before the playoffs start.

A lot of you just like to panic like a nuclear war is going to happen because of a few bad games. Either they will figure it out and get this ship going in the right direction but even if they don't we have Mahomes for next season so it is not the end of the world. Either way, life goes on.

Seriously dumbass, it's a cover 2.

If Alex Smith was half as smart as most seem to think he is, he should have had it figured out 10 years ago.

F**k you b**ch.. Learn how to read. I never said it wasn't cover 2 I said they were disguising it.

Like I said either way, Reid will eventually figure it out. He's too good a HC not to

This is not the same qb. Alex is playing like a totally different qb. And it started in Pittsburgh when they ran zone blitz. Teams have schemed against our gimmicks. That shovel pass to Kelce and the misdirections don't fool anyone anymore. And our qb isn't making the right reads pre snap. When he doesn't know where to go he has terrible pocket presence and tends to slide into pressure. And as we all know if he doesn't like his primary read he immediately moves to check down.

Defenses went back to what was stopping him in the past. They're stacking against the run. They're abandoning all deep zones and focusing exclusively on the flats. When you play with such a ridiculously short field, you can be a hell of a lot more aggressive at rushing the passer. Playing zone doesn't mean playing passive. The steelers beat us because they played aggressive zone with a lot of disguise and other teams are copycatting them. And it's working.

And we all know the solution that Alex will never do. Be aggressive, take some chances, throw the ball in tight windows on timing routes, stretch the field to keep the defense honest. Teams are abandoning deep zones and we're still relying exclusively on this checkdown nonsense. Playcalling did a great job masking Alex Smith early in the year. But playcalling isn't going to Loosen up the defense. That is squarely on Alex Smith to be a little less Alex Smith. We know he's capable of doing it and that's the frustrating part. He just won't do it because it's not the safe thing to do.

If you're still hoping for Alex to turn back into the guy we saw the first month of the season, you're like a little kid hoping the dog that ran away a month ago comes back home... hell, its more like hoping the dog comes back to life that you watched die with your own eyes.

It's over. Alex Smith is who he is and it will never change. This team will not be able to win when it counts most with him.

Andy has figured it out. There's guys wide open and we see that on film.

His QB isn't figuring it out on the field.

Right because football is a 1-on-1 sport and Alex Smith plays defense and special teams.

F**k out of here with that BS. If Broncos can win a SB with an old limp d**k Peyton Manning then you can win a SB in the NFL with pretty much any half decent QB.

Did you watch their defense in 2015? Not even Alex Smith could f**k that up. LMAO

And your dumbass QB is getting outsmarted, because he is isn't nearly as smart as you useless ****ing bitches think he is.

He's a mediocre, dumbass QB.

Alex Smith lost a game where his defense gave up ZERO TD's last year. He just lost a game where his sense gave up 12 points.

7 of 9 Chiefs losses the last 2 years were when the Chiefs gave up 19 points or less.

Quit being stupid, dumbass.
