A lot of coin for a game manager, lol, especially the guarantee. Alex has a special spot for me, taking the U of Utah to an undefeated season in 2008, culminated with beating 'Bama in the Sugar Bowl.

QB

hey, cut me some slack, dudes The Wiki write-up is awful. Anyway, with Alex and Urban Meyer we had an undefeated season. And we also beat 'Bama in the Sugar Bowl. Maybe it wasn't the same year, lol. Point is Smith was a terrific college QB here in Utah.

Russell Wilson gonna get PAID.

I think he and the Krapper are gonna have huge set backs this year. And Krapper already got paid.

They did beat Pitt in the 2005 Tostitos Fiesta bowl to go undefeated. 11-0

Going into the game, Utah had been ranked in the Top 10 for 8 consecutive weeks. Pittsburgh was 8–3 and the Big East Conference champion. Utah raced to a 28–0 lead and held on for a convincing 35–7 win. Alex Smith had a magnificent showing, completing 29 of 37 passes for 328 yards and 4 touchdowns, as he went on to impress NFL scouts and became the number 1 overall draft pick. He was also the MWC Offensive Player of the Year, TSN Player of the Year, a Walter Camp finalist, a Davey O'Brien finalist, finished fourth in the Heisman voting, and the Fiesta Bowl MVP

Good for him. Never thought that Smith would amount to a QB with all those god awful head coaches and OC's that he played for.

The ability to throw 10 yard outs gets you paid these days.

If most coaches asked a QB to do what they can do, there would be less employee turnover in the NFL as far as coaching in general goes. The Chiefs aint trying to make a Montana out of Smith, they've just been able to utilize what the vehicle can do. Some coaches come in with a gameplan in mind, others come in and figure out what they can do with what they have. I like Arians.

They might miss Tate but he was nothing special. Lynch will probably take a step back. Key is Percy.
