2017: 15th
2016: 7th
2015: 3rd
2014: 2nd
2013: 5th
My Chiefs had had a top defense in terms of points allowed for 4 of the last 5 years. You what that yielded for us? 1 playoff win and 4 playoff losses...and the one win was when Brian Hoyer turned the ball over five times.
Now lets compare that to the Redskins the last five years in terms of points allowed:
2017: 27th
2016: 19th
2015: 17th
2014: 29th
2013: 30th
Like I said, Alex Smith is a fine QB when he is playing on a team that could mask his weaknesses. If you guys get Alex of 2017, your team wont miss a beat from Cousins to Smith. If you guys get pre2017 Alex, it could be a long 5 years with him.

I was referenced specifically last year, and recent history is most important. He bailed yall last year...the defense was a major disappointment from the previous years. Got beat threw the air all day.
Without Alex propelling his game and going with Hunt RB...who wasn't the starter originally (???? which was strange)....it coulda gotten really bad.
