Would you trade Alex Smith for Colin Kaepernick straight up?
 

I would not. Alex is a better quarterback right now and does not have the off field incidents of Kaepernick

Ok

Why is 'neither one' not an option.

That's how you got Alex Smith in the first place dumb ass.

**** no. Hate that douche

:spock: What the **** are you talking about?

:LOL: what are u smoking?

Do we get our second round draft pick back and draft a quarterback by moving up?

Leave him alone.

He's not used to talking about white people.

Nope.

Tough call. Kap is dynamic like Vick was when he first came in to the league. Haven seen a ton of his games but it seems he lacks the ability to throw the touch pass (I could be wrong) but seems to throw a nice deeper ball. I like Alex Smith but I think straight up I'd take Kap. He's younger an has shown he can win playoff games. Although I'd say Smith is a better passer. And maybe I keep thinking back to that GB playoff game from 2 years ago but Kap will gash you if he takes off.

Aids

Of course

Derp

Kaepernick is a rapist and choke artist.

Like when we traded Steve Young for Joe Montana?

That seems to be the trend for SB QB's. We need to tell Smith to start raping.

Does the 9er defense come too?

O-line plz.

Atriensis spongia

Big boobs.

Who has a higher ceiling?

Kap is Mike Vick, if that helps.

And Alex Smith is?

ROFL OMFG

What a weird question to ask. I have never been to either of their houses.

Is there an option for trading Alex Smith for Colin Kaepernick while slouching?

Mark Rypien

a 2x Super Bowl Champ. Wow.

Will Alex be wearing Chiefs red when this happens?

LMAO

So, Smith then. Gotcha.

Didn't SF kick Alex Smith to the curb and you signed him as a FA?

No it wasn't a straight up trade.

But SF did swap AS for CK no matter how you look at it.

What makes you they would have any interest in taking him back?

This is a fantasy thread.

Probably Kaepernick. When he's at his best his athleticism brings another dimension. But I'm not sure he'll ever be top echelon. If I had to choose one I'd probably take him, simply based on potential. But I'm not sure I'd be much more content than I am with Smith.

Great thread

Yep. Just like the time we traded Brady for Cassel.

That's exactly how it happened!

I just wish this FO understood that when you sign a FA player that it doesnt mean you have to give his previous team 2 2nd round picks.

Ohwell, live and learn I guess. They'll get better at this eventually... I hope.

THIS.

This.

Kaepernick adds a playmaking dimension with his legs that only a couple of other QBs possess, but he struggles with touch and accuracy in the short passing game, and he hasn'y progressed beyond the 1 read progression as a passer, which is a concern for a QB going into his 4th season in the league.

And even with that 1 read, his decision making is questionable.

I have grown to really like Smith, but he is going to be 30, and he actually makes the argument for Kaepernick stronger with his progression.

I think Harbaugh is overrated as a guy that works with QBs.

Smith grew more in one season with Reid than he did in 2 with Harbaugh.

Give me Kaepernick with Reid.

Totally agree with this. I mean 378 passing yards and 4 TDs with nearly 60 yards rushing...Not even CLOSE to doing your job as the QB. Who the hell does Smith think he is not playing both ways in that game? He saw the defense was struggling. A QB that does his job would have stepped in and, at minimum, played CB in that situation.

This. I ****ing hate Colin Kaepernick. I would prefer Alex Smith over Kaepernick entirely due to the fact that I ****ing can't stand Raeperdick.

In a heart beat.


People let their hate judge his performance. Like most fans feel bad for Alex Smith so they say he's good lol. Manziel is a douche, but that doesn't change the fact that he's a bad ass.

The fact that this is such a tough question makes me think about what a strange move it was to bench him in 2012.

Those here that hated the move kept referring to Smith as just another backup QB, or another team's trash. But Smith was winning, and was the highest rated QB in the league at the time of his injury. I guess Harbaugh just liked that extra athletic dimension Kaepernick offered, but it was a weird move that I think confused some of the fans and players too.

I don't think it's a weird move, in harbaugh a system, Kaep has a higher upside due to his legs.

Like milkman, I think Harbaugh is a little overrated as a qb guru.

This is pretty much how I see it too...

I think Kaeps legs actually keep him from progressing as a qb.

Same here. Too reliant on them so his natural passing instincts never really developed. He has absolutely no anticipation and is always late in his reads. Trusts his arm strength and legs way too much.

He doesn't have very good pocket awareness either

You guys can have Dolphin boy.

I really don't see this as that hard of a choice.

I'd take Colin and not think twice about it. You can sit here and say this and that about his passing but he damn near threw for as many yards as Alex in 92 less attempts. They were pretty much equal in terms of TD:INT ratio. But, Alex cant even come close to what Colin can do with his legs.

Give me Colin.

Dumb thread. Kill yourself.

You are right. It isn't hard. I picked Alex with out a 2nd thought and so would most of the Niner fans. They hate that tattooed douche.

Just as long as you pick the right 53...

It pains u guys Alex caught fire late when it counted doesn't it?

No more than the last 7 Chiefs playoff appearances.

I am not an Alex Smith fan. I LOVE him when compared to Cassel, but I feel we should shoot for someone better than him if and when given the chance. I haven't "settled" for Smith and I doubt I am ever going to.

However, regardless of how capable I feel Kaepernick is as a football player, I'd have a difficult time rooting for him if he were our QB because I hate him that much. I think he is the epitome of douche and I would hate to have his ugly mug as the face of our franchise. If he were out QB...I'd probably just focus primarily on fantasy football until he was gone....can't stand him. To me, Colin Kaepernick to football is Carlos Zambrano or Johnny Cueto to baseball in terms of how much I despise them.

I wouldn't say, "can't even come close", Tom Brady can't come close, Smith has very good mobility.

I think we are rebuilding so probably

We'll trade a couple firsts for him when he's 30. That's the Chiefs way. Get 'em on the tail end of their career and over pay.

Makes sense, usually you rebuild with younger players not players going on 31. Oh wait never mind, only the Chiefs would do that.

Does a bear shit in the woods? Is the pope catholic?

Love how when someone wants to make a player seem older, just say how old he'll be five months after next season is over.

This is basically a yea Marcellus was right all of last off season and season thread.

Just sayin.

Settle down, Smith isn't even 30 yet ROFL Aaron Rodgers is a few months older than Alex and he's considered to be at the prime of his career.

If only Smiths prime could see Rodgers' prime on the horizon...

I've been saying it wrong. I thought it was does the pope shit in the woods. That makes much more sense your way!

Please don't put Alexis Smith in the same sentence as Aaron Rodgers.

I know right. Arron Rodgers has won 2 more games in a season than Smith.

Bow down.

Not sure what you're talking about, but Rodgers was hurt at the end of the season. Went to Chicago and won in the playoffs.


Did I forget to mention Rodgers has a ring lol

Come on man. Seriously?

you're a moron if you put Alex Smith on the same tier as Rodgers

and I love Alex Smith

A realist

Rodgers is arguably the best qb in the game right now. He pretty much carries a slop roster

Drugs are bad...

Poop Taco Flambe'

Wow you guys have really bad reading comprehension skills.

"Rodgers is older than Smith"
"omg heresy don't compare them"

LMAO

Who did that?

Hint: he compared their AGE, not their performance.

I swear, the reading comprehension around here is at the third grade level.

mjac is here to bitch

Like a lot of people.
