Chiefs could turn the corner this season


By: Michael Tellier

The Kansas City Chiefs have been pretty busy in the offseason.  With the acquisitions of QB Alex Smith, TE Anthony Fasano and former Philadelphia Eagles Head Coach Andy Reid.

Last season Smith led the NFL in completion percentage with the San Francisco 49ers, before losing his starting spot to Colin Kaepernick.  This season I believe Smith will try to solidify his place in Kansas City, as the starting QB and the face of the franchise. 

I’m not saying that these three additions will be enough to turn the Chiefs (which went 2-14 last season) in to a playoff team, but having Fasano and Smith on offense can certainly help take some weight off the shoulders of RB Jamaal Charles.  Not to mention the fact that Smith is a much better QB than Matt Cassel is.

Obviously the Denver Broncos will be the favorite to win the AFC West Division, but I think second place will be up for grabs since the rest of the division has struggled the past few seasons. 

I think it’s very possible for the Chiefs to finish around 7-9 this coming season, which would be a huge leap from the way they performed last season.
