REAL FOOTBALL Thread

Agree with thethe, would it be nice for him to play, of course.

But why risk him playing if he's not 110%

Was gonna be tough to win regardless, Atl is really tough at home, especially off a loss.

IT is interesting about all these comments coming out now.
 
Are we going ot start hearing about how loaded the Chiefs are to explain why Smith is doing well?

Chiefs are pretty damned loaded. Charles is a great back, Bowe is a great WR, and their options after them are pretty good as well. Adding Smith and Reid was more or less what they needed. Not gonna say it's a direct comparison since Brees and Ryan are way better than Smith but it's not too distant than when Brees/Peyton or Ryan/Smith joined their teams that were not good before they got there. A good coach and a good (or at least competent) QB make a huge difference.

And there it is. Smith is a good QB. Not top 10 but he is damn good.

Never said Smith was bad. I thought you overrated him, but he's what Reid and the Chiefs need. Someone who moves the ball when needed and doesn't make mistakes. Chiefs don't need a playmaker on their team to win. They have talent on the offensive and defensive side, they were burned last year because Cassel and Quinn were impotent. And Crenel isn't a good head coach. Replacing the 2 biggest holes with solid pieces is never bad.
 
Yeah, Smith is solid. People think if a QB isn't Peyton or Tom that they suck. Like people around me say Romo sucks. How the hell does Romo suck? Dude puts up numbers year in and year out.

I never called Smith a top 10 QB. He is what I said he is in that next tier of 10. The debate is where he is in that next 10. Most of you made him out to be a bottom third QB last year. He had a great year last year.
 
BTW, I know the Texans are a goo team but its absolutely crazy how different the Seahawks are on the road. It should be illegal to pump as much noise into their home stadium that they do.

Well you don't live too far from Philly metro right? If so that's why people aroudn you say Romo sucks. Until he gets a ring they won't respect him because he's a Cowboy.

Texans are taking the Seahawks behind the shed right now. And I'm glad. Need Seattle to lose some games so the Falcons don't have to go there after a bye.

I live 5 mins from Philly. I hear it a lot of places though, not just Eagles fans.

I think Peyton Manning would be perfect, or any other better QB.

Well I think thethe was more going for perfect that could be reasonably acquired. I'm sure Peyton, Brees, Brady, Ryan, etc. would be better than Smith but those guys are going nowhere anytime soon.
