Fins CB Sean Smith linked to Chiefs

[Skyy God]

Suck it if Q.

It's a story that makes you shake your head, chuckle, and then ask the bartender to turn the TV station over to American Idol because, in comparison, that sh*t seems mature and sensible.

Vontae Davis may or may not have gotten on Twitter yesterday and blurted out that the Kansas City Chiefs are already negotiating a contract with soon-to-be free agent Sean Smith. Smith and Davis are friends from their days in Miami together. Both were drafted by the Dolphins in 2009. Davis was traded to the Indianapolis Colts in 2012.

Shortly after Davis's Twitter account all but stated that the Chiefs were violating NFL rules regarding tampering, Davis's account sent out the seemingly laughable excuse that it had been hacked. Well, this prompted Sean Smith to address the issue:


Smith then posted this (it's too long to embed the entire tweet):

Ok this is getting out of hand, I've never talked to any other team besides the Miami Dolphins. Yes I talked to vontae and I told him Al Harris (our former coach) got the job up in KC and that I talked to him a few days ago to tell him congrats. That's it! Now why he interpreted that as "talking to KC" idk but there is NOTHING going on! This is ridiculous
OK. That's understandable. So, what about the whole Vontae's Twitter account got hacked thing?


So, you're essentially saying Vontae lied to cover his ass and yours? That's just how I'm reading it.

And if it was just a simple misunderstanding, why did Sean Smith block Miami Herald reporter Armando Salguero in Twitter? I mean, all Salguero did was report on what happened. Even Smith's agent seemingly got a little testy with Salguero over the incident. The Miami reporter did what any decent journalist would do in this situation and contacted agent David Canter for a comment. Canter responded with this lovely little gem:

"Don’t believe everything players tell you Armando. Rule number 1 of football journalism."
Really? I had no idea Smith's agent went to journalism school! And is there such a thing as "football journalism?" Does it have its own separate set of rules? Is one of them not believing the words sent out by a verified NFL player's Twitter account?

Look, maybe I'm reading too much into this, but if Smith is acting so douchey about a reporter actually reporting on something that may or may not be tampering, that kind of suggests that maybe the smoke sent up yesterday might have some fire.

In many ways, #34 is more valuable than #1 overall.

At least it doesn't corner you into only taking certain positions, it's readily tradable, and it's extremely valuable relative to what it would be worth in most years.

**** you, Alex Smith.

Yeah in no way is the 34 more valuable than 1. Why are you mad at Alex Smith? Did he force the trade here?

They were the worst most of his years, until he lost his starting job,

From a purely arm talent perspective they're practically identical, neither seems to trust their arm when attempting anything past twenty yards... they dont throw past that distance, they push it that distance... and they have both shown themselves to prefer checkdowns and shorter, safer throws and their velocity and long range accuracy are nearly identical as far as i can see.

Where Alex stands apart is his decision making, and that pretty much encompasses all aspects of play... timing, ability to buy time in the pocket, anticipation of guys coming open, avoiding obvious pick situations etc... thats why he was able to to 18-19 in his last niners game and why that team was in most games.

He is also a bit more mobile... but in the area of "what throws can this guy consistently execute"... he really isnt any better than cassel, in my honest opinion.

this is what the Chiefs get for throwing the 49ers a bone and getting Alex Smith's FULLY GUARANTEED CONTRACT OFF THEIR HANDS.

i said the Chiefs doing this would give the 49ers a little wiggle room to be major players, and sure enough cock block the Chiefs.

Not that I like Sean Smith anyway but if his choices are the 49ers or the Chiefs he's picking the 49ers ten times out of ten and there is nothing we can do about it.

Who cares? Sean Smith is TRASH. We don't want him here.

[Mother****erJones]

Apparently John Dorsey and Andy Reid do

Four teams - SF, PHIL, DET, TB - in play on Dashon Goldson - but DET, TB considered favorites. TB also in on CBs Sean Smith, B. Grimes, DRC.

Sean Smith is basically only being pursued because he is 25 and has first-round talent....he's basically entering the draft again and people think they can "fix" him.

He's going to be such a huge disappointment.

[mcaj22]

yea but in this case you have to pay 8 million per to try and fix him lol

Did you ever weigh in on the corner you'd prefer us to enter 2013 with, across from Brandon Flowers?

I could take this criticism if you actually watched him play, but all you ****ing do constantly is spew garbage from PFF and "other message boards".

Shocking that someone could think that Smith, being young, and with size that you can't just teach, in an aggressive front, could be productive.

Who to trust? The numerous teams pursuing him, or the gif maker who doesn't understand what he's looking at?
