Tamba drops a deuce on Alex Smith

I'll throw Florio a bone on this one... or maybe an anvil?

Who didn't? They told Alex Smith that was his season and they kept their word. The season ended up being a waste and now we have a dynasty.

So glad the Chiefs didn't give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor! :)

Love me some tamba but we didn't need to know that. I was perfectly content with mahomes being great and Alex being ceremiously moved. Even if we know tambas right

Is this supposed to be shocking?

Oh I hope you haven't been hurt. Poor sweet summer child.

Alex Smith deserved to be shit on.

Aw did that hurt yur wittle feewings

Is this worth re-litigating? JFC

All is well that ends well.

Sandy told me not to feel sorry for Alex because he's got way more money than I do.

Okay, so I won't.

The 2022 draft reloading this team so they could have another championship window really saved us from the disappointment that they only won one title on Mahomes rookie deal. The dynasty really could have started earlier.

Mahomes was better in practice than Alex Smith? No shit Sherlock.

Nobody is re-litigating. Just getting a player's behind-the-scenes perspective. Well ok, maybe Florio went overboard in the article. That's why I only posted the tweet.

They must have been in awe when they first saw Mahomes play

Yup. I knew he was "it" in that first Denver game. Yowza!
