Jay Glazer @JayGlazer
Deal has been agreed upon between Chiefs and 49ers. Compensation unclear but I'm told again Chiefs have made a clear commitment to Smith.

My my, arent we feeling quite douchey tonight.

yes, again, im a guy that admits to all of alex smiths limitations, yet im a deep throater. Lol, i heart stupid people. they make me feel better about myself.

im actually amazed that Alex Smith has a fan base. That there are people out there that actually follow Alex Smith, the person/player

that is interesting in itself

He got sacked 44 times in 2011 behind one of the best lines in football and only throwing 445 passes.

Foles/Vick threw 616 passes last year combined...that means Alex would take OVER 60 sacks with that many attempts.

no, their starting right guard was either adam snyder, or chilo rachal. They had no where near the best oline in football. that was a ****ing sieve.

[BossChief]

That's a true fan, right there.

I bet he hopes they trade up for Chance Warmack.

You know nothing of the guy. You dont know the stuff he has been through in 8 years. To you its simple. Hes a bust, he never lived up to his potential blah blah blah. His perseverance and ability to over come what was the worst organization in football for 6 years, to find some success, while always taking the high road, and being the ultimate teammate, and professional, its admirable. I dont expect anyone else to feel the way I do. but nit picking something you really arent invested in, is a waste of time.

Guys like Alex Smith don't force you to defend the deep halves and therefore defenses are able to bring guys closer to the line. That makes it tougher on the running game as well as putting you at risk for more sacks because of the box being stacked.

And here we are in KC thinking we would finally get rid of Cassel, only to have restarted the movie again.

In the saints niners playoff game, alex had to make a throw, he did. In the nfccg, trailing by a fg, with time running out, they had to get a fg, alex smith got them into fg range. Careful how you just jump on whatever says.

Alex is not a huge risk taker, but if he has to make a play, he will.

Well, im not surprised, you are portraying yourself as a huge ****ing waste of space, who prolly should enjoy a draino laced martini. But hey, thats just me.

[mcaj22]

im invested in the Chiefs wasting things on a shitty investment that is going to make me waste investing the next 3 to 4 years watching them

so yes, the invest affects me, I dont care his story to know his red flags as a player, durability, noodle arm, cant bring a team back from a huge deficit, he's deep ball accuracy, etc.

he may be a smart nice guy with a great charity but hes totally limited by his physical skill set and that football IQ/awful physical tools doesnt fly anymore in the NFL, its not the 80s or 90s anymore. You win with fast or big QBs with strong arms and good pocket awareness, Alex Smith is NONE of that.

Im not going to try to convince you. It will take until january for you to understand what is going on, and why they traded for Alex. Im this giant Alex lover right? Okay, I know that Alex Smith is not being brought here, to be your franchise qb, I know why he is being brought here. If it was to win the super bowl this year, i would be like, wow this was ****ing dumb. Its not. Its for your future, which with andy reid, and alex smith, isnt going to take another 4 years. you guys will be competitive this year, and your future qb can take over either next year or the year after. This isnt the first bottom feeding team that andy has been on, and not the first time that Alex Smith has left a team in better shape than when he got there. Again, talk to me in january. Ill still be here.

Yeah, I'm the waste of space that put you in your place, and made you change your signature. GTFO

[mcaj22]

ill talk to you in january when the team finishes 6-10 and everyone wants this crappy QB cut and the FO fired after another depressing season with high expectations and tons of homerism going into it.

You guys keep talking about his inability to throw the deep ball. Who the hell was he supposed to be throwing to? he had absolutely zero problem finding vernon davis, anywhere on the field, and matter of fact, vernons favorite route was the seem route which alex throws easily. he hit randy moss 55 yards in stride in the giants game this year. Found Crabtree vs the bills 30 yards down field against the bills. He didnt have deep threats until this year. Crabtree is certainly not a deep threat. And even with Colin, randy moss didnt get many deep balls thrown to him. Okay i get it, but who was he supposed to be throwing deep to?
