Remember when everyone was blown away by Matt Ryan's numbers last year? Well, the Chiefs have just finished up their 8th game, so by doubling Smith's current numbers, here's how he's projected to compare to Ryan from last season:

Stat - Ryan 2016 - Smith 2017

Passer Rating - 117.1 - 115.4
Pass TDs - 38 - 32
INTs - 7 - 0
Pass Yards - 4944 - 4362
Completion - 69.9% - 69.1%
Average Yards - 9.3 - 8.4
Run TDs - 0 - 2
Run Yards - 117 - 308
Fumbles - 1 - 2
Sacks - 37 - 44
Wins - 11- 12

I’m happy for him. I always respect a guy who can dig it out like he has with his career.

Alex Smith has always been an underrated QB. I’m happy to see him balling out at 33.

Unlike Wentz who hasn't played anyone EXCEPT the Chiefs, Smith deserves the MVP as of now. Only halfway through the season though.

It's REALLY hard not pull for Alex Smith.

Despite being in some pretty tough situations over his career, he has always been class act and quintessential team player.
