He looked small and lost in that national title game. That's all I really needed to see. Jon Harbaugh's reaction to his running was priceless.
I still think someone takes a shot on him late round one or early round 2. I hope they're not dumb enough to give him a green room spot.

So you're going over then. I'm thinking under. Too many people are in need of linebacking talent to let him get too far into the third.
He's slow and small. Maybe if he puts on weight (and doesn't get even slower) he can play on rushing downs as a middle linebacker on a 3-4 defense. How many teams have need at that position? |

Alex Smith traded to the Chiefs for 2nd round pick and conditional mid-round pick in 2014.

I think this was an excellent deal for the Chiefs, particularly if they can draft a quality WR. |

You know the Chiefs will draft a QB and make it a competition, and then Alex Smith will fucking snap.

Cassel is going to be a backup no matter where he goes. His stock has just fallen off the fucking cliff. Two years ago, the notion that you'd be replaced by Alex Smith at QB anywhere would have been laughable. Andy Reid may be one of the few guys that could utilize him effectively even without the level of talent he had in San Fran. KC has offensive talent (not as much as San Fran) even if they don't keep Bowe. The Cardinals might sign him but if they do, it'll be because they've decided to go with Kolb at starter. I'm not convinced they'll do that. Of course, they NEED to draft the shit out of some O-line that can actually play, because that's been one of their biggest problems going back to the Dennis Green days.

I don't know that Alex will succeed in KC. They may lose Bowe unless they franchise him and then that will probably just make him all pissy.
Also Alex wont have the benefit of the QB whisperer that he had in San Fran.

I kinda hope he succeeds, because he seems like a nice guy. But I don't think he will. I don't think that team is good enough for a QB who is essentially no better than a game manager. I think they need a gunslinger type QB, something to blow some damn life into them. KC seems to be cursed lately.

Denver seemed to do pretty well with a game manager. Granted, it was an exceptional one.
I think that Alex can do well if they build a decent team. He'll just have to carry more weight now that he's not being backed up by one of the best defenses in the league.

I hope Smith does well, and don't think it's as grim on the offensive side as it may seem. Their starting o-line is not that bad, they were just injured last year and their backups did not play well (I'd say middle of the pack even with injuries). They have a good #1 if Bowe gets the sand out of his vag. They have a phenominal running back in Charles, who is arguably the second best back in the league right now behind AP (based on what he had to work with).
Their defense on the other hand is awful. For comparison, they giving up almost as many yards as Atl while allowing roughly 10 more ppg. KC had a combined 13 takeaways with a -24 differential in turnovers.

Smith had a good season in 2011-12 and I was never able to figure out why he just seemed to click that year. He will quickly disappear into the crowded world of bitter back-up QBs. |

Smith does one thing that Cassel could not do this past year - he protects the football. I mean, his combined INT totals from the last two years (10) were less than Cassel's from this past year (12) and Cassel didn't even play a full season. He was a fucking trainwreck. Just cutting down on the turnovers will make the KC defense better for having fewer short fields to work with.

It would be a good start, definitely, but it was not just the short field being an issue. The KC defense gave up way too many yards on too few of plays (3rd fewest) ending up tied for 4th worst in yards per play given up even with their short fields. Them being 8th worst in points allowed speaks a lot of the short fields, but the yards per play should have been lowered if that was the bigger issue.
To their credit, their defense is pretty disciplined (or stopped giving a fuck a long time ago, which is quite likely) being the 3rd least penalized.

ESPN beyond just watching games has become totally worthless to me. If there's a game? Great, but I don't even watch Sportscenter anymore since all they do is try to promote their own shit.

I don't understand the passion over Bayless. He clearly just says outrageous things to drum up interest and drama to boost ratings. Apparently it is working.

It's beyond that because I really try to avoid him whenever possible. The stuff he says is just so PATENTLY idiotic that he makes Steven R. Smith look sane and intelligent. In a rational world, that should never fucking happen.

I was really hoping Minnesota wouldn't trade Harvin because they'll probably replace him with someone who can be on the field for 16 games. That Seattle team is looking pretty scary good now. How the fuck did the NFC West become a division worth watching? EDIT: Also yes Golden Tate is going to be a whiney bitchnugget for the next season. Not like he has enough talent to care if he gets benched. |
