2011 NFL Trade Rumors – Alex Smith to Chiefs?

August 18, 2011 08:10 PM EDT

comments: 1

Alex Smith has been given several opportunities to win over the front office and fans of the San Francisco 49ers, but the former NFL first-round draft pick has been inconsistent throughout his career, and it could be time for a change in scenery.

The 49ers drafted a quarterback for their future and now are looking to bring in a veteran quarterback to lead the team for a year and let Colin Kaepernick learn the ropes from someone other than Smith.

The latest trade rumor has Smith being sent to the Kansas City Chiefs in a deal that will give Smith a fresh start, and the Chiefs badly needed backup to Matt Cassel. Kansas City now has just rookie fifth-round draft choice Ricky Stanzi as the teams backup, and an injury to Cassel could be harmful to the team's success in the upcoming NFL season.

The good news for Chiefs fans is that Smith would be a cheap acquisition, and it would give the team some much-needed insurance at the quarterback position. If San Francisco brings in a veteran in the next week or two, look for Smith to become a member of a different team before the season begins.

I would give up a 6th at most. We've had good value in the 5th and would hate to use that on a 1 yr rental backup QB.

He is currently under a 1 yr contract with SF for $4 mil, with up to $900k in incentives.

Just wait till they release him.

Smith hasn't done anything to prove he is a #1 QB. Idk if he would get any offers to be a starting QB after this season. If he likes the environment in KC then he may be our backup for a while. I don't like the idea of slowing Stanzi's growth but if Smith works out then I would like to think he would resign with us.

Make it happen

I'd take him over Palko for sure, I'd take anybody over Palko for that matter though.

Alex smith isn't worth any draft pick whatsoevah. He sucks really bad. Any 49er fan will do cartwheels at talk of getting him off the team. If Cassel goes down Smith would be much, much worse. This season is prob doomed if Cassel fails. I think it would be better to use the draft pick we already spent and let Stanzi take his best shot.

Mosbonian · 08-19-2011, 11:22 AM

If he can be had for the right price bring him in. It's a whole lot better than what we have now.

I am trying to see what everyone likes about Stanzi.....maybe someone can enlighten me as to why he isn't anything more than Brodie Croyle revisited.
