Alex Smith will start vs Panthers this week

I was not impressed with West running the ball this weekend which may be more of a problem for them than anything Smith does or does not do.  If Ware is still out, I think they are going to lean heavily on Kelce and the WR, especially since we bottle up the run pretty well right now.

I have always thought Smith was underrated but he also has had the benefit of some pretty good D play most times and also Charles as a weapon behind him.  Nonetheless he is better than some of the other QBs we have faced this year.

This will be another physical game and I hope the Panthers are up for this one. The defense will definitely need to apply pressure to Alex Smith and force him to make mistakes and turn the ball over in this game. Our best shot on offense is we have to be able to run the ball and control the tempo of the game. I hope Mike Shula design a lot more shorter and intermediate passing calls for Cam, to get the ball out early and on time. Cam also needs to get back to having fun and playing like the MVP.The sooner he does this, the better chance that we have with finishing the season strong and potentially pushing for a postseason birth.

Alex Smith doesn't really turn it over.  He will just live for another down or series.  

DBs got to play tight coverage and risk the big play IMO.

A QB like Smith is not a bad thing at all. They don't have playmakers that can get YAC. Release the ball quick to a receiver near the LoS what will happen? We'll swarm him and it'll be easy. Smith is the perfect QB for our D to go against. Doesn't take shots deep so we can be more aggressive in the back. We have 24 sacks for the 3rd most sacks in the league right now, the Chiefs have 16 which is tied for 21st in the league. They don't have a stout pass rush at all. With Kalil back and a bonus if Oher is back we'll be completely fine against their sub-par pass rush. Granted, that's assuming Justin Houston doesn't have a big role or play at all, but it's not likely that he does. He'll get activated from the PUP this week but all reports say he's unlikely to play and if he does would be extremely limited. Chiefs are a very solid team all throughout, but we should be able to handle them. You might as well go fishing or something else on Sunday because there's no point in watching the game if you think we suck so much.

I'll be at the game, either way.  Interesting post.  I'll go tell some people to go fishing or something.

Great all we need is a qb that releases the ball quick vs our poo corners . Pass rush better show up becausr this game will be won on defense !!!!" Our offense is going to get shut down by their stout pass rush . Im expecting us to lose 

Good thing our corners only give like a 12 yard cushion every play.. This would be a good game to load the box and press hard. Make Smith throw it deep.
