The expectations are going be high and more demanding than in San Fran. Coach Reid says he wants a passing attack and pass often offense so the pressure is really on Alex Smith to perform. It's going depend on Andy Reid recognizing Alex Smith faults also and see if he allows the running game to help him out.

They have to go out and prove that this trade was worth it and I think they don't have much window of opportunity to do it.


Chiefs fans are wanting results we are expecting results in wins.


So this could be a good fit for Alex Smith to get an uncontested starting job but the pressure to win is on him.

I say good fit because of the skill position players you had already, and this was before drafting Kelce, getting avery, fasano, and Eric Fisher and having Brendan Albert here to play. The fit, out of Buffalo, no oline, like at all, the jets, laughable, cards, seriously? KC was easily the fit that would give alex smith the best position to succeed. Being With andy reid, if he allows alex smith to check it down to a run play, because he is very good at pre snap reads, and very good at knowing when handing off the ball is a great thing to do.

They will, as they have in the past, find excuses and blame other areas of the team.

It took 4 years for Matt Cassel to be the focus of fan reaction.

Can the pressure here honestly ever be any worse than on national tv having a fan base chant we want carr? There is nothing the crowd will ever be able to say that will offend alex smith. If that were the case, after 2010 there is no way he would of went back. Hes got thick skin, hes a true professional, he understands the business.

When the Niners fall short, with a superior roster, and inferior numbers for Smith compared to Sanchez - people imply that Smith was the reason the Niners even came close.

This place is always good for a laugh.

Well, he was the reason they beat the saints. Can you even argue that?

Head coach Mike Nolan, head coach mike singletary, head coach Jim harbaugh. All three believe in the run game and defense. Combined, alex smith and Colin kaepernick last year, ranked about 20th in passes attempted. They are a running team. They run the ball. They will continue to run the ball. They rarely trail, and thus in the second half, run the ball......For a guy with a running back, in his avatar, you seem to neglect the obvious.

Second, how many yards did Alex have that game? How was he on third downs?

I have no doubt Smith could win a super bowl on a team like Dilfer had, but is that good enough?

I don't think it will be here

Ill state this until im blue in the face. Alex Smith, had zero turnovers, he had a better rating than any other qb against the giants in that playoffs, and played in by far the worst weather of any other team that faced the giants. Alex Smith despite his 1/13 on third downs, was not the reason the 49ers lost that game. 2 dropped ints by our defense, and two fumbles on special teams were the critical plays that cost the 49ers........Also, Carlos Rogers being Victor Cruz's personal bitch in the first half was the other reason.

That doesn't help your arguments guys.

So Colin Kaepernick was the reason the 49ers didn't win the super bowl last year? I think that's absurd.....

Pretty much.

Please go find another team to root for and stop teasing us with this 'Im done" shit. Be done already. Youre a ****ing troll, in all senses of the word.

Every time I hear that im an alex nut hugger, and that how could I follow a mediocre qb, then I hear someone say this, I laugh my ass off. Really, what could be more absurd than this?
