Not gonna say much.. just going to drop this video here so you can check this guy out if you hadn't. I hadn't until today, and I really like his raw ability.
#1 thing that sticks out to me is he can really evade rushers and chuck it on the run. Amazing raw arm talent.
As long as Reid is calling plays, we need a QB who can make up for his conservative ways. Save your comments about how the Chiefs will never take a QB, because that's bullsh*t. If they find the right one, they will. I think this could be him.
if the Chiefs actually draft a QB in the 1st, it might get my hopes up about this team again.
if the Chiefs release Alex or trade, it might get my hopes up about this team again.
as it is now...pfffft.
It's all just jerking off.
I'll watch pre-season next year, not knowing who anyone on the team is (like i've done for the past 4 years), because the team is such a failure I won't pay attention to off season transactions/trades/signings and who's who. etc.
This team is like an Adam Sandler movie; let's get together all the same bad actors and un-funny script and make a movie. It'll be good this time, I promise. [Reply]
I like him but he may need to sit for a while. There will be a bigger than normal learning curve due to the weird offense Texas Tech runs. Need to keep foles around if we draft him [Reply]

The system is not an issue guys. Watch his highlights. It's the same plays Andy runs. People just forget that our offense has a ton of spread concepts in it to help Alex Smith.
The biggest problem I see from this kid is his footwork. He throws off his back foot far too often and gets happy feet when he moves around a little too much.
Those are correctable flaws that we can fix with coaching. I mean FFS, Aaron Rodgers had a some pretty damning flaws that GB needed to clean up like him holding the football next his damn ear when he was at Cal.
He's a damn good fit and I hope we take him. He'd be awesome here [Reply]

A few things I noticed, when he scrambles away from the pocket , he is still looking to complete the deep pass, and looks to have the arm strength to do it. In similar situations Alex is looking to run and/ or complete the shortest pass available to him. Haven't watched Tech much. But do they run any plays under center? That's one of the stumbling blocks with Paxton Lynch, but he should get better with time. How is Mahomes at reading defenses? [Reply]
His ability to keep his eyes downfield while evading pressure and still be able to throw a deep ball accurately is something this offense desperately needs.
Alex Smith is horrible at throwing on the run, if he gets flushed out of the pocket the play is pretty much over because he doesn't keep his eyes downfield and doesn't have the arm strength to throw deep while on the run. [Reply]
