In year two, Smith’s Chiefs had another winning season, as the team posted a 9-7 record, but failed to make the playoffs in the process. Lost in the shuffle was the fact that the former first overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft had another solid year for KC.

Then came the 2015 NFL campaign. That season would see Smith have his best year in a Chiefs uniform to date. He threw 20 more touchdown passes and also posted career highs for a season as a Chief in passing yards with 3,486 and rushing yards with 498 on the ground.

Now, lets fast forward to the upcoming 2016 NFL regular season, as it will be here in just a few short weeks. Smith looks to have an even better year this year with another year of experience in the west coast offense and also arguably the the best offense and most talented unit that Kansas City has fielded in yours. For these reasons, I project Smith to have a very good year numbers wise at the helm of the KC offense this year.
