Time to move on from Alex Smith: The Chiefs passing “attack” is even more pathetic than Miami's. I don't care what they gave Alex Smith and why they did it, but this team will need a new quarterback in 2015. To watch them trailing by three, with a little over a minute to play, around their own 30, and for Smith to toss an array of screens and check downs was hard to watch. Hard to swallow. Hard to fathom. They don't even pretend they believe in their ability to complete a downfield pass. It's sent their season into crisis – two long Jamaal Charles runs amounted to their entire offense Sunday* at Arizona – and the offensive line doesn't inspire much confidence and Smith does anything but that. Good luck deciding who made the right call in the Alex Smith/Colin Kaepernick trade. I mean it was a steal for the 49ers to get two high picks for Smith, but as for which quarterback I'd want right now, I'd still go with Kaepernick there as well. He's younger. He has an arm (though it's been wildly inaccurate at times) and he has the athleticism.
