Kansas City Chiefs: The good, the bad, and the ugly

The Bad

Nick Foles – There was buzz online that if Nick Foles played lights out on Sunday that it might create a quarterback controversy in Kansas City. Well, at least we don’t have to worry about that! To Foles credit, he’s not afraid to throw the ball down the field and stretch the defense. That did result in a beautiful touchdown pass to Albert Wilson.

He also threw an easy interception earlier that the Jags managed to drop and in general seemed to lack the accuracy to make Andy Reid’s offense work. I get that anti-Smith fans love to see more of those down field throws, but just attempting those more often doesn’t make someone a better quarterback. Foles isn’t as good as Alex Smith. Period.

He certainly isn’t better than Smith at running Reid’s version of the West Coast Offense that relies on accuracy and timing. Alex Smith isn’t an exciting quarterback but he is MUCH better than Foles was on Sunday.
