Have you come to grips with it yet: Alex Smith #11 Chiefs starting QB!

This! The trade off is he is not as tough as Cassel so we won't have to watch him flounder for long. Who ever the backup is in KC will probably play 3 to 5 games next year. All we can do now is hope that backup is some one drafted with the 3rd pick this year and happens to be good.

Here's a bone-chilling fact:

The 49ers have been no higher than 25th in third-down conversion percentage for Alex Smith's entire career.

32nd
26th
32nd
29th
29th
31st
25th

Exactly why so many niner fans were hoping he would be gone a long time ago.

That stat did NOT improve much under Harbaugh. The niners won a LOT of games last year thanks to the leg of David Akers. He set the record for field-goals last year. We won a TON of games scoring in the teens and having our D get turnovers. We had one of the highest turnover ratios ever recorded last year.

Alex didn't lose us games. THAT is the point. We relied on special teams, defense and not turning the ball over to get to the championship game. It was when we got down big/early that the true Alex showed. He is not capable of overcoming big deficits. His third down percentage is low because he is so afraid of making a bad throw that he immediatly goes to the checkdown if the first read is covered.

Alex has never been accurate on his second reads. If he has to move in the pocket he loses sight of the field. He panicks. He doesn't have the arm strength to stretch the field.

If not for Vernon Davis, we would have not even made the playoffs. Alex can hit the wheel route like nobody else, but the reason it worked so well for the niners is Davis' speed. He's the fastest TE in the NFL. Alex will NOT make those throws to your TEs unless they are WIDE open.

He completed 1 pass....................ONE PASS to a wr in the NFCCG last year. He reverted to captain checkdown in the biggest game of his career.


I don't hate the guy, but I am very happy he's gone.


I'm just trying to prepare you guys for what is coming. Your punter will become the MVP of the team. If your defense can get turnovers and your special-teams units can score some points you have a chance at the playoffs, but you will never win a SB with Alex Smith.

He's good under certain circumstances. He's downright terrible in others.


He can read defenses very well at the LOS, but once the first read breaks down, he becomes very inaccurate. He will force your WR to make some circus catches across the middle. He can't throw deep with any accuracy. He will have a play or two ever game that makes the entire stadium stand up and say WTF??????


Some people here likened him to AIDS. I disagree. He won't kill you. He's more like herpes. It sticks around forever and can be an embarassing discomfort at the worst possible time.



He does have some great qualities, but his limitations are what will keep the Chiefs from getting to the SB. Andy Reid will NOT be able to get Smith to win games. You will rely on the D and Special teams to win most of them. If you can hold the opponent under 20 and get a couple turnovers, you will win with ALex.

yep, pay NO attention to history.

Sure he can, he can roll right and throw to the guy in the BLACK TRENCH COAT who is standing out of bounds...

Smith is a spoiled little rich bich with a noodle arm that complains bout this and that and the other.....

He will not pan out...:rolleyes:

HAHAHAAHA......well hopefully he will get injured and then Tebow will beat him out....sounds vaguely familiar.....wow what a hope...:#

Hey Casshole had more yards and TD's WTF?????

I think I am starting to hate this team....First we get a Dog Killer Lover Coach then a 49ers retread QB for the umpteenth time...WTF is the Front Office doing? Trying to fend off having fans???? No Fans no job idiots....:eek:

hey, it's a 49er fan that is here speaking it like it is instead of shoving rainbow suckers up our asses telling us it will be okay because it's "better than Cassel" and "He's a good leader and a great guy!".

"alex smith was blameless in the NFC Championship game"

Don't be dissing on Geno "Black Jesus 2.0" Smith on this board.

Geno, with two NFL caliber receivers, completely dominated the 123rd ranked scoring defense in week one.

He kicked the living crap out of a defense so completely in week two that they weren't even ranked at all.

He showed true grit in week three when he defeated and demoralized a mighty Maryland team that was ranked 56th in scoring defense.

You want a QB that can go head to head in a shoot out? Look no further than what Geno did in week four as he took apart a mighty Baylor defense ranked in the top 113 in scoring defense.

Geno really showed his mettle as he was seemingly unstoppable against the 74th ranked scoring defense in week five.

Smith is such the master of the passing game he was able to hang 14 points on the unmovable wall of the 92nd ranked scoring defense in week six.

As any Jayhawk fan will tell you, the guys in purple are cheaters, plain and simple; that is the only way to explain how they managed to field a 28th ranked scoring defense this past year--yet Geno dismantled them and UWV scored an impressive 14 points in week seven.

Every QB experiences heartbreak at least once in his career, and Geno knows the heartbreak of losing in OT to the 30th ranked scoring defense in week eight.

Geno would have sweet, sweet redemption in week nine against the 64th ranked scoring defense in week nine. Or maybe not.

Realistic expectations at this point in the season should prevail; no one should expect Geno to win against the 50th ranked scoring defense in week ten.

All hail Geno! All hail Geno! Franchise Savior! Overcoming the greatest of odds, Black Geno 2.0 shows us the light and triumphs over the 38th ranked scoring defense in the nation in week eleven.

The curtain is coming to a close and Sweet Geno puts on a show for the ages against a daunting scoring defense ranked 112th in the nation.

I wonder why ESPN isn't GenoSPN all day and all night.

For a final encore in this illustrious season, the Face of a Franchise proclaims his glory and cements his legend as destroys the 46th ranked scoring defense in the PinStripe Bowl with a 14 point performance.

How can you question Geno? How can you not believe that someone with wins over the 123rd, 113th, 112th, 74th, 56th and 38th ranked scoring defenses might not be the franchise QB that every desperate bulletin board fan says he is?

Alas, you doubt too much...and for nary a reason. Overcoming the 92nd, 64th, 50th, 46th, 30th and 28th ranked scoring defenses is too much for anyone to expect of the Lord of the Pass.

Oh Geno, my Geno....

(Scoring defense rankings compiled from: http://espn.go.com/college-football/...a-mountaineers )

So wait, something about Geno Smith somehow means Alex Smith doesn't completely suck? Okay, then.

/backs slowly out of thread

Everybody needs to pledge right here and now that they'll still hate Alex Smith even if he puts together a mediocre 9-7 season or whatever bullshit will convince morons that this was a good trade.

No. It means we're the Chiefs and we will never get a decent QB. Doesn't matter who it is; if you are a QB and you are associated with the Chiefs (sans Dawson) you suck. You might be great somewhere else, but while you are here or are coming here, you suck.

Right.

First decent game he plays, never mind good, and there will be demands for apology threads all over the place. Then, when the sample size becomes large enough and it's proven beyond a shadow a doubt that he sucks, we can start this process all over again.

Looking forward to our next backup starter.

This is quickly becoming the Declaration of Independence, MO, Part II.

Alex Smith's record when the 49ers ran for less than 100 yards:

2012: 0-2
2011: 3-3

Can we at least give a season of production in KC before you make a Declaration of Independence and break out banners and shit?

We're already tracking the suck that is Alex Smith in this very thread, so no.

Can't wait for the first preseason game!

In an effort to be fair to Alex, no pre-Harbaugh GIFs will be created.

:LOL::dom:nlmrochambeau

I'll pledge to dislike that poser 100 times over. Count me in!

It WAS a good trade for THEM!!! :clap::deevee:

I wanted to draft a QB too, but **** it lets roll with this and see what we have with Reid pulling the strings. I'll be right there with you with the torches and pitch forks if they fail.

Yes can't win when behind, can't win without running.....so lets see, what is left....???? OH Crap : Losing....

49er retread alley....

Long season ahead..

:$2500:

This is like if we won the Revolutionary War and overthrew King George but accidentally elected Time-Traveling Hitler From The Future as our first president.

Personally don't want to roll with this,,,we should strike the Chiefs headquarters...with picket signs and everything...all the fans....NO MORE RETREADS NO MORE RETREADS....

43214321

You guys need to get your panties extracted from your cracks.

I pledge alliegance to the hate, of the god-forsaken retread that is Alex Smith, and to the true fannery for which he stands, dated, annoying as ****, and hopefully slagged from above, when the home opening flyover forgets to remove ordinance from the bomber. Amen.

:clap: This should be a requirement in everyone's sig who's on board.

Lol if we are so lucky to reach 9-7 next year ill be amazed... 49ers 2-14 year they didnt do well at all following the year after that, ironic it was with alex.. And Detroits 2-14 year they havent touched the playoffs and actually did terrible last year despite megatron breaking the yardage record...

If we go 9-7 and you want people to still hate alex. well then you just sound like a crazy ex girlfriend or in your case boyfriend that will hate the guy no matter what.... and if peyton gets hurts, shoot we might even make it into the playoffs at 9-7 with our division the way it is.

Nassib blows

Why the **** did we have to do this to Our team.

This is so fail it kills me inside

Lifelong Niner fan here and I thought I should drop in and let you know about Alex. The dude is an average QB at best, you guys really got boned hard in this trade if everything said is true. Be ready for consistent check down passes because he does not have confidence and balls to throw the balls down field. Also be ready for leading the league in sacks because he will take sacks when everything breaks down. I truly feel sorry for you guys if Andy Ried has hooked his wagon to Alex. You guys better have an awesome defense and special teams because if EVERYTHING is not perfect then he cant get the job done.

But as a niner fan I am absolutely stoked about this trade. Thank you Andy Ried for taking him and giving us some good draft picks.

They're taking Geno 1.1

Please send us more 49ers fans.

"Speak now or forever hold your peace"

Andy Reid just might regret taking the job.

LOL...Cannibal! Of all people I figured to be on the 'doom and gloom' train...

You must be mellowing in your old age. ;)

This is bleak....WTF???? I wouldn't doubt Andy Reid got paid off for this....rigged!!!! 49ers are stoked they got rid of dead wood and got great draft picks....OMG.....:shake:

I can't think of a single player that will have encountered so much hate before he plays a single down. As much as Geno would have received the benefit of the doubt from me, Alex Smith will have to be perfect in nearly every phase for me to give him props.

He will have to carry the team when the running game isn't working. He will have to make plays late in the game when we need good play from the QB. He can't get us in a hole early by turning the ball over. He will have to stretch the field with deep passes to help loosen up the defense for the run game.

I'm not going to give him a pass because he did not lose the game for us, he must be the one that wins it when no one else steps up. He has to do that all season or I'm not going to give him any apology.

Anything less than this and we should be looking for his replacement. Hell, we should be looking for that anyway. I'm being realistic though, we aren't going to take anyone capable of competing with him this season.

Still better than Geno.

It's because Alex Smith basically already played for this team the last 4 seasons.

Maybe Reid traded for Alex Smith BECAUSE he was such a good teammate and accepted his role as backup and teacher to Kap. Maybe Reid want's him to do the same for Geno.

This is my sunshine and rainbows dream. Also in this dream we swap 2nds with SF and get a 4th or some shit... idk.

I second that. Did you know Kaepernick came in on key redzone situations earlier in the season before Smith went down?

Why?

Because we couldn't score for shit with Smith in there!

Smith made his money on play action passes with 8 men in the box to stop Gore. He is no good when the onus is on him to make the play. He'll just check it down or take a sack. I hope you have a great punter. There will be a lot of three and outs. Thank god we had Andy Lee, one of the best punters in the league who put our defense in good positions despite poor offensive play.

We do. He has LOTS of practice.

Oh I agree completely. This trade for A Smith ruined my week. I'm right there with the haters. He's going to have to be league MVP before I'm ok with this trade. As I said, he gets zero benefit of the doubt.

LMAO

niceeee.

The punter will be earning his paycheck with Captain Checkdown at the helm.

That is what those of us with football sense called Smith back in SF.

Captain Checkdown is Matt Cassel.

He's in sole possession of that distinctive award.

Are you sure your not a KC fan?

Alex Smith throws the ball short more than Cassel.

We have no idea what we're getting into.

Dear, God, WHAT HAVE WE DONE!?

Alex Smith, percentage of throws under 10 yards, 2011/2012:

73.3% (486 total)

Matt Cassel, percentage of throws under 10 yards, 2010:

64.4%

Matt Cassel, percentage of throws under 10 yards, Chiefs career:

65.8 % (980 total)

I promise. I'm a niner fan here to air my grievences and provide insight into alex smith.

We are not allowed to talk negatively about his highness lord Smith in ninerland.

Ask me anything about him.

ALL HAIL THE REAL CAPTAIN HAS ARRIVED

Why is his career high only 17 TD passes?

http://www.bimmerboost.com/images/im...68413511-1.jpg

Many will say he has had bad WR core. I don't buy it. Brady was successful with scrubs early in his career and so have other good QBs.

My take is he is really cautious and in the NFL, to score TDs, you have to throw into tight coverage on time.

One, he is not confident in his arm, which is slightly above average at best so he is not going to fit throws into tight spots on a regular basis. This will kill you in the redzone and scoring ranges when those windows shrink due to the field shrinking.

Two, he gets rattled easy and has little pocket presence. MEaning, the timing will be off because he is not good at sliding around in the pocket and sensing pressure. He will have "happy feet" and sometimes feel pressure that isn't there. So this will throw off all the timing and he will just check it down. Thus, high completion percentage, low yards, low ints, low tds and high QBR.

Think about it. Last year the niners had a historical defense ad special teams and he mustered only 17TDs. Daid Akers broke the NFL record for most FGs in a season. that pretty much sums it up right there.

If i could post images and vids id show you examples but i'm only a rookie here.

That's only because Alex Smith is Major General Checkdown.

Its like ****ing groundhog day.

Link to them, and take out the http://

Yup. Your RBs and TEs are going to love it.

Your WRs and 3rd down completion percentage is going to hate it.

49ers fans warning us of the impending doom of Alex Smith is beautiful. We never had any gracious Pats fans like this. It was all just a bunch of dreck about how great Casshole was. You provide an insanely valuable service to us. Please stay.

You are already a demi-god to me

http://picsthatdontsuck.com/img/creepy-stare-meme.jpg

I can't figure it out. It keeps saying naw.

But google 12/11/2011 49ers vs. Arizona. Go to the nfl website link and watch gameday highlights and forward to 2:48 of the video.

The game is on the line with a 4th down.

There are multiple pass catchers open and Alex smith senses pressure which is not there....The rest is just....

Also, that pass was an overthrow, The RB Hunter made a diving attempt but it was out of reach. Deoin and the candy crew announcers got it wrong, as usualy

Yeah in the last 8 years our third down percentage has been bottom barrel. The only time it became middle of the road was when Shaun Hill stepped in when smith broke his collarbone.

SHAUN HILL

He was essentially beat out by JT O Sullivan (who?) due to that injury and also benched for Troy Smith at one point. I remember Trent Dilfer coming in at some point due to an injury but I think my brain blocked out that traumatic experience.

We've been discussing that in this very thread. ROFL

Yup. Has the 5 yard passes on 3rd and 10 been brought up?

Not especially. Go ahead, sir.

Us fans will hate it!!! After watching some footage of Alex even when he is on he stares down the receiver, throws stiffly off his front leg....gadz mechanical...not fluid....after 8 years still bad throwing mechanics...Smith is atrocious and a horrible deal a second rounder OMG:shake:

Clearly Clayton missed this...how could he since he's determining numbers all day to say Alex Smith sucks?

They just feel sorry the Chiefs fans were fed this BS...First a DogKillerLovin Coach that stunk it up in Philly, then Alex friggin Smith...what an armpit of doom....:reaper:

BOOM
