Well that's where Bucky Brooks's "trailer" comment comes into play. His production is elevated by others.
It is obvious to anyone, Kirk was carried by the running game and the defense.

I still don't see it. If you put Smith in this offense do you think he would put up the same numbers? I don't.
or the flip side, if you put KC in that game yesterday, does he hit the passes Smith missed. There were several passes, and moments that KC would have made, and KC would have won, probably going away the way KC's D played on their half of the field.
Comparing Alex Smith and KC at this point is fairly ludicrous.

What's so ridiculous about it? Smith has also produced enough to get them to this point. To being a legit championship contender.

Save the snarky comments for rest of the fanboys. This guy did this for a living and also played for years.

Kansas offense:
PASS YDS
233.8
(19th)
Kansas defense:
PTS
19.4
(7th)
Washington offense:
PASS YDS
297.4
(2nd)
Washington Defense:
PTS
23.9
(19th)
It's ludicrous to think Smith is why Kansas City was in the playoffs. Kansas made the playoffs on the back of a defense that stopped Pittsburgh on six separate possessions. The Skins almost made the playoffs despite a defense that gave up 38 to that same Pittsburgh team.

I didn't say that Smith was the reason the Chiefs were in the playoffs. On the contrary- I even said that the Chiefs were probably the most complete team in the playoffs.

Ok, then I simply revert to my first point, Comparing KC to Smith at this point is ludicrous. You say the Chiefs are the most complete team, but Smith had worse numbers than KC had. Seems like by definition KC is better, and in fact, it's probably not even close.

Just to save time and multiple reposts. Please just read my posts just a page before this.

It might make more sense and save me from being so redundant like so many have complained about.

This is a fantasy site, but about midway down the page they chart game performance of Cousins, and of Smith.
Alex Smith vs Kirk Cousins (http://edraft.com/nfl/fantasy-football/tools/start-sit/27338/alex-smith-vs-kirk-cousins/)
Cousins graph is consistently above the league average, and nears the peak multiple times while Smith's graph is mostly barely average to well below average.
