He is an experienced cerebral QB and if he cant pass as well as he did before he is saavy enough to win against the Chiefs . I picked Broncos so I am pleased.
You know what else helps, playing against a QB that refuses to throw down field, it shortens the area where your already very good defense has to cover. I thought I heard something crazy this morning on the radio that Alex Smith only threw like 5 passes over 5 yards last night. It's like watching Rich Gannon all over again, except Rich Gannon had much better WRs who could take the short passes and get a lot YAC.
An even crazier stat for you. The chiefs only attempted 18 passes over 21 yards last season, and I believe they only completed 3 of them. Peyton looked awful last night, he should of had 3 picks. He just cant throw with any velocity any more, if he doesn't put his whole body into the throw it looks like a duck.
