After attending the playoff game last year against Pitt last year, I had had enough. I said I would not spend another dime on the team until they addressed the glaring weakness of the QB position. They did that and I was happy. Then Alex played the best of his career to start the season and I got caught up in the excitement. Still, I have always maintained that I was still skeptical that Smith will continue that play in the playoffs. It appears that he has regressed back to his normal below average play well before the playoffs. I have no confidence that he will ever take the Chiefs anywhere.

Also, don't compare Alex with Russel Wilson or any of those other guys. They have proven to have the ability to step up their games and win. Alex has never done that.

I understand your frustration man. Believe me I get it but there are plenty of ways to win a SB. Blaming one player, who is clearly a good QB, in a team game like football for a teams failures isn't fair.

We didn't lose that Steelers game because of Alex Smith. He had a bad game but overall he played pretty much just as well as Big Ben did. Difference was Bell ran all over us while our running game was pretty much nonexistent.

And Alex Smith has stepped his game up in the playoffs plenty of times. Check out his playoff stats. They speak for themselves.
