Chiefs not considering benching Alex Smith for Patrick Mahomes this season

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/c...s-this-season/


Per Jason La Canfora


Despite their recent struggles on offense, the Chiefs are not inclined to make any switch at quarterback, team sources said, though the staff does remain very bullish on first-round pick Patrick Mahomes and his ability to take over as soon as next season. Mahomes continues to impress teammates and coaches with his efforts in practice and how he conducts himself in meetings and around the facility, and there is a strong sense that he could be a franchise quarterback sooner rather than later.

Even with their recent falloff in the passing game and running game, and with Mahomes' athleticism and huge arm, there is no movement to move on from veteran Alex Smith now and the only way he would lose his job would be to injury, sources said. Smith has tailed off from what was an MVP-like first half, with the Chiefs storming to a 5-0 record and being talked about as perhaps the best team in football.

They've gone into a 1-4 swoon since then and face a critical AFC game with the Bills this weekend, with the Chargers suddenly surging in the AFC West and the Raiders still capable of making a run, too. Smith has failed to maintain the big plays downfield that helped the team get off to such a torrid start -- the dink-and-dunk nature of the offense under him was part of the allure of Mahomes in the draft, as his gunslinger approach is the opposite of that -- and rookie running back Kareem Hunt has been bottled up as well.

Smith is coming off his worst game of the season in a loss to the lowly Giants coming out of the bye. He threw multiple interceptions, which is out of character for him. Coach Andy Reid was somewhat critical of his play after that, but Smith continues to get the bulk of starting reps and is entrusted with getting this team to the postseason.

However, numerous other GMs anticipate the Chiefs shopping Smith, who has one year left on his contract, in the offseason. He is signed to a team-friendly deal that is easy to deal, he would have significant value to any contending team that may want to upgrade at quarterback (Jacksonville; Arizona or Denver if they opt not to rebuild) and he is a proven, steady hand who teammates love and who protects the football (almost to a fault). The Chiefs seem poised to turn the offense over to Mahomes and it would be anything but a surprise should Smith leave Kansas City via trade after arriving there from a swap with the 49ers upon Reid's hiring.

Honestly I do too. I'm ready for this to crash and burn in horrible fashion. I don't believe this team will even win the division so let it all come crashing down.

Could we score 11 on them at this point?

If we played next week I’d take the Browns.

How can Clark do nothing? Fans should boo Smith constantly every stinking play or skip the damn game and demand their money back. Smith is dog shit and had been for over a year.

Average LBs
Bad defensive line
Aberage secondary
Average (at best) offensive line
Bad QB.
Lack of depth and nearly every position.
Bad DC, bad Defenive philosophy.
Questionable OC, and philosophy (likely due to our bad QB)
Past his prime, arrogant, and stubborn HC.
Backup WRs on most teams as our starting WRs.


But tell that to the die hard tailgaters and you’ll likely get told we need to get more weapons and we never should’ve let Maclin go.

If they skip the game, that will interrupt their social hour of bbq and getting shitfaced before the game.

Can’t have that.

Mahomes looks like a baller.

It’s one thing alex is having a rough game. But his body language is terrible. Has this gangly, slump uneven walk to the huddle that is uninspiring. He’s too mh if a pussy to go up to west and yell at him for stopping his route, he looks to Reid instead. Be a ****ing man.

If I was Reid I’d tell him, should I inform your wife you guys have to move again or shall you man the **** up

Andy and Alex are cut from the same non-confrontational, conservative, pussy cloth. Andy would never call him out or be a dick to him.

He'd apologize for having to do it and Alex would just nod his head and sigh and a single tear would roll down his cheek.
