I consider Alex Smith a game manager, not a game changer. I want a game changer at the position. He's an upgrade over Cassel (hopefully), but that shouldn't get anyone excited if Cassel is the bell curve.

I'll put it this way. I don't think Smith will turn into the best QB in football. My hope, and expectation is that he'll maintain what he's already accomplished. I feel more certain about him being good, and someone you can win with, than any other QB in FA, or the draft.

I guess he's a game manager. I'm not sure where the line is drawn between game manager, and franchise QB. Some of the time I suspect Smith will need help to win, but I won't say that the Chiefs are screwed if the D isn't having a great day, because I've seen AS keep the 49ers in games when it didn't look like their day, and I assume he could do that here.

I am concerned about his injury history, but a big difference I expect from Reid and Dorsey, than what we saw from SP, is that I think Reid will always try to improve at the QB position.

Then you bring in a QB guru with extensive knowledge for what a QB needs to succeed, and Smith takes off.

Andy Reid fits that description -- I'm not claiming AS is the answer at QB, and I'm not claiming Reid is Harbaugh. But those are the facts.

"Smith takes off"?

He's like the old woman at the stop light.

She finally took off, but is slower than almost every other driver on the road.

Looks like we'll have 2 Jordans at linebacker

I can't remember the last time the first overall pick wasn't nailed down with less than two weeks to go, but I really feel it's still up in the air.

interesting signing both Diles and Jordan

Diles is slow as a turtle, can tackle but cant cover
Jordan has speed, can cover but cant tackle or shed a block to safe his life

I would laugh if they are trying to platoon these two
