Got the Chiefs back to respectability and was an excellent mentor for Mahomes (and that’s per Mahomes). The hate he gets from some here is bizarre. [Reply]
Alex Smith helped build the foundation that Mahomes turned into a castle. He brought us out of some really dark times. Him and Reid coming out and winning their first 9 games together after the team won 2 games the year before was nothing short of amazing. He then helped mentor Mahomes and netted us Kendall Fuller who helped us win a Super Bowl.

His mentorship of Mahomes and all that happened since has largely made me forget that every time he played the football gods flipped a coin. If it was heads, he played like a fearless, lights out stud. If it was tails, he played like Damon Huard.
Honestly he did a great job with the situation he had.
He just hit his ceiling. And we as a fanbase outgrew being content with appearing in the playoffs. We wanted to get back to the dance, badly. And we knew Alex couldn't get us there. [Reply]
I fucking hate this piece of shit. Tom Brady, Joe Burrow (or Eric Bieniemy in my view) and fucking Alex Smith are the only people that can stop Mahomes from winning a Super Bowl.
