Give him a generous C+ and enjoy the win. No C+. That was a D performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the last rookie QB that protected the ball was RG3 in all honesty. So yeah. I guess you could play a rookie. But we werent in any position to take one of the top guys last year regardless. And this years QB draft is looking pretty pathetic. Dak looked like Troy Aikman as a rookie when they ran the ball down everyone’s throat. We aren’t at where they were as a running team but have been close to it in the wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Keenum was a major reason the Vikings were able to halt their playoff woes and reach the NFC Championship Game after posting an 11-3 record as a starter in 2017. Keenum threw for 3,547 yards and set career bests in completion percentage (67.6), touchdown-to-interception ratio (22-7) and passer rating (98.3), which was 22 points higher than he had the year before." -ESPN Guess he only fumbled and threw a lot interceptions to an 11-3 record last year instead after taking over for Bradford.

Who would have been the backup QB then? Im saying that a better front office would have got us something better than Alex Smith. He’s a journeyman QB that isn’t winning anyone a super bowl. Alex Smith held form in SF until Kaepernick took over and took them to a super bowl and it looks like KC is much improved uber Mahomes. He’s just a guy. He’s not winning you any games on his own.

I guess with Colt we could have had a better 1st round pick in 2019. That is the only silver lining with Colt. 1 minute ago, rumplestilskin said: Not so sure I agree with this.

It's odd since he's generally known as a very accurate QB (when he actually throws the goddamn ball). Not sure if it's the chemistry not being there or what. Yeah, unfortunately I think you're right. Unless Jay gets ****canned, Alex will be here for another couple of years. Maybe they'll draft a developmental QB in the 2nd or 3rd next year but who knows. The worst part is every time he misses someone poorly, the camera zooms in on his face and that stupid "I can't believe I missed that" smirk .

ThomasRoane Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I'll keep beating this dead horse until Alex shuts me up but think of how much better shape the team would be cap wise, money to spend on skills players or a LG, and Kendall Fuller as a slot corner if the team would have just went with Colt for this year. If not for the big salary I truly believe that Jay would make the switch to Colt. If Alex can't run any more then what are we doing here? Fire BA and start Colt. Trade Alex to whomever and eat the salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes me despise him, I really dont want to, when he plays that poorly and seems to be all shucks about I want to shuck him the face. Bruce will survive because well go to the playoffs anyone, but he fd up on the Cousins thing and his immediate replacement. He should be fired for making both of those calls and caping what otherwise is looking like a really good team. I have zero faith in Alex anymore, someone please pull from the ledge on this issue, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE HAMMER'IN HOG Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Get behind Alex Smith huh??? Is he standing on an edge of a cliff??? Said it 2 years ago; trade Cousins when we could have received a kings ransom for him, draft a future QB to develop while we roll with Colt!!! Smith; played in the most QB friendly system in the NFL, something our personnel dept. apparently couldn't comprehend or evaluate! Now we have a disaster of a QB, who i might add was going to be released before KC found out we were willing to give them something for nothing!!! Some where Mark Brunell is smiling!!!
