Kevin Haskin: Smith still needs polish as Chiefs quarterback

Musings at the mid-week:

u25a0 Just when everyone was on the verge of anointing Alex Smith as the next great Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, splat.

u25a0 Smith looked poor as the Chiefs offense sputtered against Houston.

u25a0 Now, the question is whether those downfield deliveries Smith made to rally the Chiefs in the opener were fool’s gold.

u25a0 To me, Smith is a functional quarterback, though I wonder if the weapons at his disposal are really as good as advertised in the preseason.

u25a0 No one had to ballyhoo Jamaal Charles, who should debut Sunday against the New York Jets and give the Chiefs a lift with his mere presence.
