@patronaut0709 #TwitterTuesday Likelihood of the #Chiefs getting Alex Smith?
I think there’s a pretty decent chance. Enough to write about it the other day, anyway. I don’t know that I’d bet on it or anything, but the 49ers will move him and it makes a ton of sense for the Chiefs (other teams too).
It really is an interesting philosophical thing they’ve got, because Smith is the safe route. He’s a known-ish quantity, would come at a fixed cost, and the move would almost certainly be done before the draft so the Chiefs could sort of check off the quarterback box going in.
Then again, it would be interesting to see the reaction from Chiefs fans over getting ANOTHER quarterback who wasn’t good enough somewhere else. Finding the right quarterback is important enough that if the Chiefs don’t do it, it doesn’t matter what else they do.
Alex Smith, for all his attributes, sure seems like a guy just good enough to lose a playoff game for the Chiefs.
@_MathewB Alex Smith? You mean Matt Cassel? No thank you. Geno Smith? OK, but I don’t have to be excited about it.
See what I mean, guys?
