Marshawn used to talk to the media, but they gave him a lot of **** about the way he speaks. He felt really disrespected and stopped talking to them.Originally posted by BlueNGoldComment

Re: NFL Off Topic
Is Alex Smith still viewed as a game manager?

Re: NFL Off Topic
I guess it's how you view it then, but some guys are referred to as only game managers, a la Trent Dilfer during the Ravens first SB run. I see it as being descriptive as someone who won't lose you the game and will make smart decisions, but who may not necessarily make the big play(s) to snatch a win.

Re: NFL Off Topic
I think most people still view him that way but slowly but surely he's breaking out of that mold. The last few games for KC this year he's been taking some more risks and using his feet to gain yardage a lot more.
He's one "big play to win a game" from busting out of the label IMO.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Re: NFL Off Topic
He's had moments in his career where he'd make some big passing plays.
But he hasn't done so consistently and under Harbaugh, he was kept on a tight leash, particularly that first year where the kicker set a FG record because the 49ers were content to kick FGs and let the defense and special teams shut down the opponents.
I didn't watch too many Chiefs games but in the first part of the season, clearly their defense was carrying the day. Alex made some plays by throwing underneath and got great RAC plays from Charles, the 3rd down back and others.
The problem yesterday wasn't with Alex but after they got the big lead, did they run a lot or did they pass and give the ball back to the Colts to give them chances to come back?Comment

Re: NFL Off Topic
He made that big stick throw to Vernon Davis to beat the Saints in the first playoffs game under Harbaugh.
People were raving about it, saying he'd arrived.
Then he followed that up with a stinker against the Giants, was like 1/12 on third downs or some horrid percentage.
He can't throw outside the hashes and hasn't always been cool under pressure though in the first half yesterday, he was playing really well, getting out of the pocket at the right times.
But Alex has always tantalized and then eventually broke your heart. Reid is an aggressive play caller, though he doesn't have the WR weapons. BUt if they get their defense back on track next year, they should just ride Charles and let Alex manage the game, not turn it over.
That was the formula that made them 9-0. It may not be enough to beat the Broncos though, if the Broncos can put up over 30 against the defense.Comment

Re: NFL Off Topic
Yea, but Alex Smith was the reason the Chiefs even had a chance at the end the second time they played the Broncos. He's shown himself to be more than a game manager on a number of occasions, imo.
