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'd be for it. Alex Smith certainly isn't a good player, but he has experience and is worlds better than Palko. I was holding out for Tom Brady to be our backup, but Smith would do.

If it is just backup and no worries of him playing then let Stanzi be backup. Alex Smith is one of the worst QB's in the league. He does not belong on a team that cares about winning.

Dude.....did Alex Smith **** your mom?

NJChiefsFan · 08-19-2011, 01:01 PM

I don't care how much anybody thinks Smith sucks, there is no way, that this season, Palko or Stanzi are better options if Matt gets hurt. Now if you want to say if Matt gets hurt we are out and might as well let Stanzi go for it, well I disagree, but I see the arguement.

To me the only reason to not give up a six or so is if you don't want to clog it up for Stanzi. Who knows what Stanzi will be, but if you bring in Smith you now have 3 guys that have question marks at QB. Hopefully this year either puts a line through Cassel for good or shows he has the goods, not something inbetween. Either way I don't see them trying Smith before Stanzi. If they don't think Stanzi is ready they would just stay with Cassel, not go to Smith. So would the Chiefs bring him in and not try to see if he can start? Its a weird situation, unless they brought him in and said you are the #2, and if Cassel goes you still will be the #2.

What I am saying is I would like to have him as a backup this year, but as for the future if Cassel isn't the answer I would almost prefer a simple decision of lets try Stanzi instead of trying to see if we should give Smith a chance first. Guess best case is bring him in to backup until Stanzi is ready to be the #2 for sure and then let him go. When I say Stanzi being ready to be the #2, I mean knowing the offense and NFL game, so next year at the earliest.

I was going to ask the same exact question.

**The Franchise** · 08-19-2011, 01:09 PM

And Alex Smith is WAY better than ****ing Palko.

Smith has kind of been ****ed over his entire career. He's had something like 4 different coordinators in his first 5 years. He's got the talent and I think it'd be beneficial for him to come in and not be thrown into a starting spot.

If they can get this guy, print 'em!

If I let him even try to **** her he would probably miss her by 5 yards.

wut? He has 53 INT and 34 fumbles. Have you seen him play?

In last weeks game (which of course he lost) his ave throw was for 1.4 yards.

Jim Harbough is supposed to be somewhat of a QB guru also.

I understand everyone wants a veteran backup, but he is not it. He is not better than starting a rookie, he really isn't.
