Or in other words he needs a GREAT team around him to succeed.
We have already seen this movie. The Chiefs had a quarterback who had a good rating with 27 tds on the year, yet threw for 207 yards per game. What happened? We ended up getting blown out in the playoffs. YPC aside, if we don't have a qb who can throw for a lot of yards we aren't going to win. You have to realize Smith has had only ONE 300 yard game the past 1.5 seasons. That my friend is frightening.
Who cares about Cassel's numbers in 2010. That was against the biggest cream-puff schedule that the Chiefs ever played in their history. They didn't beat one single team with a winning record that season. Look what happened in the final 2 games of that season at Arrowhead against the Raiders and the Ravens. Everybody knows Cassel's numbers in 2010 were a fluke.
Smith, on the other hand, picked right up in 2012 where he had left off in 2011. Cassel illustrated in both 2011 and 2012 that 2010 was a fluke.
AWWWW this bs again so useing this standard of yours
Peyton Manning sucks he had that great ol Marrvion Harrison, Reggie wayne,Dallas clark ,Edgrin games he had a great team around him So Peyton Manning SUCKS
Joe Montana had the greatest WR to play to game so he SUCKS as does Steve Young
Troy Aikman had those great Cowboys teams around him so He sucks
Tom Brady has always had a good team around him so He SUCKS
Why is it that you only use this standard for guys you don't like? What a QB does well with a good team around him WELL DUH You went on and on about Geno Smith he had the best WR in the country with him in Travon Austin. Funny how that doesn't lead you to think he sucks
Add to that most recently that Matthew Stafford has passed for over 5000 yards the past two seasons, but it hasn't made Detroit one of the elite teams in the NFC, now has it? It's starting to sound like MMH is more concerned with fantasy football numbers than anything else & the comparisons of Smith and Cassel are from a fantasy football standpoint, certainly not from the standpoint of how each guy plays QB on the football field.
Let's make it simple since you two don't seem to understand that yards from the quarterback impact the game and put your team in scoring range.
A quarterback like Alex Smith who doesn't throw for yards or touchdowns is considered a what ________?
Talk about going too far. I didn't say quarterbacks that have a good team around them suck, I said Alex Smith needs a good team to succeed.
He needs all the right pieces in order to do well. On the other hand you have a qb like Peyton Manning, who picks up FA WR in the middle of the year and they are still contenders.
