Chiefs quarterbacks: 2016 stat projections
By Bill Robbins
In today’s NFL, quarterbacks have such a huge impact on the game and each team’s offense that it’s vital to have a signal caller that not only has a high IQ and is a leader on the field, but also has a good understanding of the playbook and opposing defenses as well. That’s what the Chiefs currently have in starting QB Alex Smith.
Since becoming the team’s starting QB in 2013, he has taken charge of this Andy Reid-led offense. Sure, he has had his ups and downs in his three seasons as the QB for the team that resides at 1 Arrowhead Drive, but the future still looks bright with Smith in charge for KC in 2016.
Although KC will have one of their star players in Jamaal Charles back this year to help strengthen the running game, Smith’s play at quarterback is equally as important for this offense going forward. That’s especially true when you consider the two biggest play-makers on the Chiefs’ O last year were in the passing game with wideout Jeremy Maclin and tight end Travis Kelce.
Thats why it will be imperative for Smith to get the ball to both Maclin and Kelce and his other weapons through the air early and often this coming season while continuing to not turn the ball over and being efficient as well. I believe Smith will do it and do it well in 2016.
What do you think of these projections for Alex Smith and the quarterbacks, Addicts?
