Alex Smith starting us off seems weird. The reason I put the former first overall selection so far down the list is due to the uncertainty he and his offense brings to the field.
In 2014 Smith and the Chiefs pulled off one of the most incredible feats the NFL has ever seen when they did not record a single passing touchdown to a wide receiver. In a league that has for the most part, become a pass first league, it has to worry Chiefs fans, that their team could not achieve the most pedestrian of accomplishments.
Will that translate into 2014? I highly doubt it. Could it still present an issue for Kansas City? I would bet on it.
