The best thing we can hope for today is that Kaepernick survives the game without injury, that Alex Smith doesn't play.

Think what it would do to his value if say he came in at halftime and led the 49ers to a win.

Nobody cares. Alex Smith isn't going to be our QB next year.

I hope Alex gets credit for the ring and teabags Jim in the mouth on live TV

The Smiths
 

Why not have both? Poll anyone?

Kind of liked that band back in the late 80s.

Oh yea: Meat Is Murder

We're going to sign some veteran QB, it's inevitable. Who would you be on board with?

Right, we'll probably end up spending a #1 overall on #20 overall talent, when we could get someone who we know can play the position in the NFL

I don't even know what you are mumbling about. It's not Geno, he's surely better than a top 20 talent. Fail.

Alex Smith + a great LT = Championship...

If Alex was a real leader he would of had Cris Culliver's back and been off ours.

Alex Smith and Joeckel at #3. Get 'r done Faid!!!

I really like our LT, he is one of the few bright spots on our team now.

Ours ain't bad either.

I feel bad that I don't even know his name ROFL

You should, yall cry like little girls and say he is holding Tamba every play....

I would say Gallery, but he was a "can't miss LT" moved to Guard and shipped away.


Why aren't these morons saying: "Can't take Jekll too risky may be another Gallery!!!!"

What you sound like

Bjorn Werner it is then.

I hope Smith comes in and shits himself

Raiders will select someone who can get to the QB.

Don't forget that Franchise Center...

Who Wiz?

Build the line, defenses win championships? So what's wrong with those ideas?

Circa 1985

Great idea, bro.

All we need is a bruiser at FB to clear holes for our 250 tailback and a good blocking tight end so we can really dominate the LOS.

Those wouldn't be bad things.

You guys seem to think we can add RG3 lite to a crappy 2-win team and be good.

It takes control of the LOS to win in the NFL.

Nothing. There's nothing wrong with having a strong offensive line and a championship-level defense.

There IS something wrong, however, when you endlessly pursue those two things at the expense of the QB position in the NFL circa 2013.

And before you say that has little to do with the strength of the QB class, let me point out that in the effort this franchise has spent turning over every ****ing rock trying to find defensive line talent (and doing so often when the best player available was NOT a defensive linemen at all) we have completely ignored the QB position.

A team like us should be using that effort to find QBs, not 5-techs.

HotCarl is Knowmo guys

Yes. That's exactly what can happen. It really doesn't take much more than that.

We CAN add RG3 lite to a crappy 2-win team and be good. Our offensive line is adequate. We don't need first rounders to improve it.

That's fine. I want us to find a QB. If there's one available at no draft cost on the free agent market, then that makes a hell of a lot more sense.

It also makes a hell of a lot more sense to pick people around the area they deserve to be picked, not just when they come out in a draft class that resembles the David Carr and Joey Harrington qb class

If you think the worst team in Chiefs franchise history, one of the worst teams in recent memory in the NFL, is just a rookie QB away from contending... I don't know what to tell you. This isn't Madden

You're dumber than Black Bob.

Go kill yourself

That is what I thought, the last refuge of someone who can't refute points on their merits. There is no need to become hostile. We could agree to disagree, at least I could.

This is the modern NFL, dude.

If you have a QB and a head coach, and a small semblance of talent scattered throughout the roster, you can go to the playoffs.

That's EXACTLY what we have. Teams no longer need to be loaded everywhere to be good.

And are you going to honestly tell me that a real QB plus a real head coach plus the pass rushers we have, the star RB we have, and the offensive line we have isn't enough to win in THIS sad **** of a division we call the AFC West?

I don't negotiate with terrorists and I don't grant intellectual respect to ****ing reeruns that don't know their draft history or have a very good grasp of what the 2013 draft class is all about.

I'm not in this to get bounced from a wild card game. Scott Pioli can do that. I'm about winning championships.

Denver are frauds right Hot Carl?

You'll need a QB to win championships, buddy.

And Alex Smith doesn't count.

Drafting a guy like Geno gives us a good chance at a decade window at a championship, but let's let Albert walk and stay status quo as a team and sign another castoff QB.

And you're trying to say the Dan Marino model is all we need, but without Dan Marino. Good luck with that.

He is a pretty good ol boy Hotcarl, he will just get pissy on you real quick.. I just slap his ass around for a few minutes and he puts a sock in it. :thumb:

When I slap him around he seems to get turned on, I'd better stop it.

Reighters answer my damn question in the Super Bowl Q and A thread dammit

He does appear to get aroused, maybe he just leaves to rub one out then comes back

Oakland won more playoff games that year than KC has since the 70's

That wasn't the question ROFL Answer it!!

Do you want me to hook you up with the Raiders 3 wins in the Superbowl? I have all the complete games...

You seem pretty high on our GM and HC hires. Wouldn't it make sense that they would surround our Dan Marino with fantastic players in the rest of the 2013 draft and in future years?

I mean, you agree with me that we need a QB regardless. We've tried "waiting" for the right guy to fall to us in previous drafts. Now we've finally sucked hard enough to take any QB we want, and you want to pass on a guy to draft more slapdicks on the defensive line?

I don't ****ing get it.

When the Raiders fan is the only guy who supports you in a discussion about how best to take the Chiefs to the Super Bowl, do you think you're doing something right?

Dumbass.

What was the main reason the Chiefs lost 14 games last season?

I don't support anyone... I am a loner

:hmmm:

Defense does not win championships.

Elite QB play does.

Please die of a painful, miserable, disease.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the 49ers will try to trade Alex Smith as opposed to releasing him. Schefter reports the Chiefs will be one of the teams interested.



The San Francisco 49ers will attempt to trade quarterback Alex Smith this offseason, according to league sources, and some believe they will be able to do it because there is not a great supply of available quarterbacks and there is a demand for Smith.



Browns offensive coordinator Norv Turner worked well with Smith in San Francisco when he was the team's offensive coordinator in 2006 and Chiefs coach Andy Reid has expressed interest in Smith in the past, making Cleveland and Kansas City two possible destinations.

There's one other factor to consider in the 49ers' preference to trade Smith. If San Francisco deals him instead of cutting him it would save the $1 million or $2 million roster bonus it would have to pay if he is released.

Smith, the 2005 No. 1 overall draft pick, lost his starting job to Colin Kaepernick while sitting out with a concussion but has been professional at every turn and has continued to mentor his replacement.

In fact, coach Jim Harbaugh has indicated that Smith spends more time than he does coaching Kaepernick.

Before his injury, Smith had completed 26 of his previous 28 passes -- 18 of 19 for 232 yards and three touchdowns without an interception and a 157.1 passer rating in a Monday Night Football win at Arizona on Oct. 29.

He then sustained a concussion in the second quarter of the 49ers' next game, a 24-24 tie against St. Louis on Nov. 11. He sat out the next game as Kaepernick dazzled in his debut as an NFL starter, beating the Bears handily at home on Monday Night Football and didn't start again this season.

Smith will be a major upgrade for the Chiefs.. I hope you guys get Geno personally

as long as we draft a guy in the first round, I'm fine with this.

I'm sure it's been discussed somewhere along the lines in this megathread, but if I were the 49ers I'd keep them both on the roster. Both of those guys flourish under Harbaugh, and Kap is one big hit on a designed run from being out 2-3 weeks.

The Chiefs showed quite clearly last season what happens when you just don't stock your team with capable quarterbacks.

They won't be able to afford both

They will for awhile. Kaepernick is stuck on his rookie deal for 2014. The Niners can basically squeeze another year out of Alex Smith without paying all that much

I have no idea about the 49ers cap situation, but if I were the GM, I'd find a way to make it work before I started looking to trade Smith.

I ****ing hate lazy journalism.

Only in sports can you use the word "possibly" as a reporter and nobody will call you out for your hedge-betting ass that reports shit from completely arbitrary and baseless information.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand the season is over.

His market value will drop sitting on the bench

The 49ers don't need market value. A valuable back up at this point is worth far more than the difference between getting a 3rd round pick instead of a 4th or 5th.

There is no chance in hell the 49ers keep Smith. So you can stop trying to make that argument.

What would you trade for him?

I didn't say they would. They'll trade him out of loyalty.

But if you took that out of the equation, they SHOULD have kept him

Nothing. Which is why they will just release him.

Trade him, get picks or sit him on the bench and have to release him to pay Kaperhoweveryouspellit ...

Trade him

Cassel and Quinn both had concussions last season. Sounds like a dream fit. Throw in Vick and surley Roetheslisberger had another one.

Your brain is scrambled. They have him under contract for two more years. No team out there would just release a QB that is good enough to start for 90% of the teams in the league. The GM that did that would lose his job.

You would if it saves your team 7 million dollars. And they will do it out of respect. Hence why every report out about the situation says they will look to trade first but will release him early if they don't get good offers.

Trade him to the Chiefs for their first and 2nd

The more things change.


Welp when do the next banners go up?

LMAO

That's just bad business. You don't let a proven commodity walk away for nothing, no matter how much respect they have for him.

If he hits the open market, he will pull a huge contract from some QB hungry team. Likely Cleveland, now that they have Norff running the offense.

Do you really know it's baseless info? You don't think Alex Smith has told Trent Dilfer things when he was a free agent and the teams who were courting him?

Is it really that far fetched?

It's a nightmare scenario for me because I hate Alex Smith, but to discredit these reports is ridiculous.

It's lazy because the comments from Reid supposedly go back to last year when he was with the EAGLES. That's if you believe the report from Trent Dilfer.

It's called respect. Plus when you have arguably the best team in the NFL, you have the luxury of doing things like that.

It has already been reported by people with team insider knowledge that they will release him out of respect early if they can't get a trade they AND he likes. They won't trade him anywhere he doesn't want to go.

If they trade for Smith ROFL

Well anyways, After I pick myself up off the floor....It just tells you they don't feel any rookie QB can win right now!

It will be interesting to see what Dorsey/Reid do similar to the Carl/Marty era PR wise to win the fans back over. It's not as desperate as it was in the late 80's but I think bringing in a veteran QB would scream desperation.
