Let's just hope this is a trial balloon being floated b4 this actually happens and then Reid/Dorsey rethink their strategy.

It is very hard to believe that Reid believes Alex can put the game on his back at anytime, playing big in any big moments because he has never done it in his career except last year and that has Matt Cassel written all over it just like what Matt did when TB went down(flash in the pan) and the only reason Matt/Alex 'flashed' is because of the supreme supporting cast around them.

Now what bothered me today, and maybe some of you can address this more accurately, was, as I was watching the combine today this ticker kept running about Dorsey would just meet the QBs collectively as a group. Really ? No individual interviews ?? If this is true ?:rolleyes:

Eh, I don't know if I'd go that far just yet. Maybe you're right and maybe I'm just hoping against hope, but I think there's a possibility that IF, and I do mean IF, we're Alex's landing spot that we could still take Geno. It's not like Dorsey didn't see what Aaron Rodgers could do after a couple of years watching Favre (not that Alex is anywhere near Favreian level of QB), or that Reid couldn't have used more capable backups that last couple of years.....

Yeah great.....drafting a QB in the 4th round.

Yep.

If they bring in Alex Smith, they HAVE to make the playoffs immediately. No excuses.

I don't even know if that's enough for me to like this move.

What I also don't understand is why not wait to make this move after Pro Days?

Make?

For this to be a successful move.....we better be playing in the AFC Championship game.

I'm thinking that's the pick we are giving up for Smith.

So it would be either 2nd, 3rd or 5th.

Aaron Rodgers was the 24th pick. That comparison is completely irrelevant.

**** no it's not.

Well if it makes you feel any better Pioli said no quarterback is worth starting this year.

If true, this is interesting. Reid likes to throw the ball down field and likes the big play. Alex Smith's weakness is the deep ball, and he's actually a prototypical WCO QB. Short passes, rollouts, etc.

If this goes down, I wonder if Reid goes back to more of a traditional WCO that he got away from in recent years.

Also, Reid is a sneaky guy. If this goes down, I would not put it past him to still draft a QB or even trade out of #1. I know everyone will think Joeckel is the definite pick, and it may be, but Reid always finds a way to surprise.

They really must not like any of these guys.

I hope that if this trade happens, the Chiefs trade out of the #1 spot and load up this year. TE and WR are particularly deep and Alex Smith will need all the help he can get...

Because they're cut from the same myopic cloth that Scott Pioli is cut from.

holding a clipboard. but I do get your sarcasm here;)

Stop with the Joeckel at #1 bullshit. That douche isn't even the #1 OT in this class.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

The only choice, IMO, that makes any sense is a 4th rounder. They'll have a compensatory 3rd for Carr, so trading their 4th won't hurt them.

This is a win now move. So they better win now.

I fisted your Mom...in the ass.

Let's just hope this rumor is false, and we dont have to worry about this shit.

How many years does Smith have on his deal? I'm praying he is just stop gap and we let Geno sit for a year.

If we give up our 3rd for that bullshit.....I'm done.

Top of the third for this **** stick?

2 years. And if we trade for Smith and cut Cassel.....those two moves cost us a total of $12.5 million.

I like Alex Smith but I'm probably going to just get myself permabanned if this thing happens and we draft luke joeckel just to free myself of this menace.

to be fair, he should have been in the Superbowl last year too but that one dude ****ed them over big time. He did lead a comeback drive to go to the Superbowl, that at least shows something. Still tho, GENO OR DIE

We just gave up a third round pick for the guy?

lol

Maybe these two posts go together. Hopefully we expressed interest in Alex at some time, were wowed by Geno with his combine performance, and the Niners are throwing this in the wind to try and lure us back to trading. Hoping against logic here.

I meant it purely in the sense of having more than one competent QB on the roster at one time.

Reid values draft picks highly. I doubt he would give up a 3rd rounder for Alex Smith. They can't even use correct grammar, how reliable can they be?

Chill the **** out.

@nfldraftscout
Exactly. ALL speculation. RT @MikeClayNFL: Okay, the Alex Smith-Chiefs thing is escalating quickly based on a lot of speculation.

Im about to become very very depressed...

God I hate this ****ing franchise.

3rd sounds about right.

Good thing we have a comp 3rd for Carr.

I would have lost it if we gave up 34 for this guy.

Nvm. Caldwell said via text, "Not us." It might be yall. But I expect it to be Buffalo tbh.

Agreed, this just doesnt make any sense at THIS particular time. I think it is just posturing.

It's too late to calm down. I've already killed a man.

This doesn't NECESSARILY mean he won't still take a QB in the first round. Just want to throw that out there. I know people here think I'm a troll but there is no team I'd rather have Geno go to than the chiefs.

Did we have the 63?

Surprise MFers! You're getting ANOTHER retread! :cuss::banghead::#:fire::bang::sulk:Raiduhs:reaper::Lin:4321%(/

The comp pick is at the end of the third, we would be giving up the first pick in the third.

This wtf:eek:

I agree. I think this Smith thing is not true. Trying to get teams to be interested in him.

****ing **** this ****ing shitbag circus of a franchise.

**** **** **** **** **** ****. I can't watch another shitbag good guy, team player, with no ****ing talent. ****.

Matt Miller ‏@nfldraftscout
Alex Smith will not be traded somewhere to be a back-up. That's guaranteed. The 49ers will do their work for him pre-trade to ensure that.

Dude. Our comp pick is at the END OF THE 3RD.

That pick is like FORTY ****ING PICK after the #63.

If we gave up the #63, that comp pick doesn't even come CLOSE to offsetting the loss.

Another five years down the drain. What a waste.

You better ****ing be right. I hope with all I have that it's them and not us. Holy ****ing ****.

Already? ****. Alright man, on my way. I've already got the bag of lye and a shovel.

Reid/Dorsey put the knife in our heart. All they need to do now is twist it by drafting Landry ****ing Jones.

Yes.

We'll go 9-7 for the next 3 years with no playoff wins lol. Awesome

I saw. Bummed out

If Alex does end up coming here he is going to get "Kaepernicked" again because we will take a QB with our 34th pick and if it is Manuel I would love to see the look on Smith's face on draft day:thumb:

I'm just going to step away from this thread and computer for a bit.

I need to drink heavily and get stoned to cope with this troubling news. Jesus tits.

I will be rooting for whatever team drafts geno smith.

If the chiefs do the same shit they have been doing for 30 years, I can easily not give a shit about them. My season tix are already canceled.

Matt Miller is the last person that has any information on anything.

He speculates more than anyone on Twitter.

Well coming up on NFL Total Access they will be previewing Alex Smith trade market. This should be fun

I still just don't believe it yet...it just doesn't make any sense at this particular time.

I swear to God Alex Smiff is the only ****ing QB they could have went out and got that would just make me shit my pants. This is Matt Cassel level of pants shitting, and you can look the ****ing threads up when we traded for him. I. SHIT. MY. PANTS. ****ity **** **** ****! This can't happen...

Honest question - who would WANT him as their QB without Harbaugh? I think it is pretty damned obvious that he was headed for the trash heap before Harbaugh showed up.

Yeah, I'm pissed about this. But how is this 5 years down the drain?

Some of you need fresh air.

Maybe the Jets?

What a nightmare scenario. This franchise will never learn!

Why not just keep Cassel then? It's the SAME ****ING THING!!!!

Bring on the banners.

if this is true just kill me now. JFC let this be another team

Yep.

No, it's not.

End result probably be the same.

You're a ****ing idiot

Do you HONESTLY believe that Smith would be a 1-year stopgap here, given this team's history?

It's almost GUARANTEED to be another 4 to 5 years down the drain.

This shit doesn't happen if Alex doesn't get injured this year. He would have remained the starter. Maybe the Niners at the end of the year say, "Kaepernick's the guy, Alex" but I don't think they aggressively pursue the trade offers they are right now.

One hope. That he gets dealt to a team not the Chiefs.

Well....bye

Save our Chiefs?

Come on Bills.....do me this one favor. I could have silently stomached trading for Nick Foles.....but not this douchebag.

Let's list the QB needy teams -

Bills
Jets
Raiders
Jags
Chiefs
Cardinals
Bucs(?)

Where would Alex Smith make the most sense out of those teams?

**** making the playoffs. They need to win a minimum of two playoff games for this to be a successful move.
