2011 NFL Trade Rumors – Alex Smith to Chiefs?

August 18, 2011 08:10 PM EDT

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.

He got benched for a young guy who outplayed him and is now out of football. He was benched because he sucks and turned the ball over every freaking game. That is all my point was.

Not trying to be a douchbag, I just have seen firsthand that the guy does not have the talent to play QB in this league. He won't come in off the bench and win anything. It is my opinion and I don't think he is worth any trade.

No, he was benched because Singletary did what the fans wanted to do.

Why the hell not if the price is right. We do have Zorn in house.

He did things to the Rams that shouldn't be done by a shitty backup QB like him. From that point on, Troy Smith had no really good games, only 1 or 2 decent ones at best. And Singletary couldn't make up his mind on who to start or bench, switching Troy and Alex Smith in and out of games frequently.

Alex Smith is still in San Francisco because he's better than Troy Smith and they need someone to start as their backups are Kapernick(a rookie) and Josh McCown.

Troy Smith really sucked. My point is Alex Smith was even worse. He hasn't had a complete year of starting since 2006, missing more games the past four seasons (35) than he played (29). His 34 fumbles plus his 53 INT does not equal someone you want to tutor your QB.

Look at the 49ers OL and try to tell me they're good. Please.

Who the **** said he was going to tutor anyone? That's Zorn's job.

What is with your tude? I was talking about Kapernick on the 49ers.

The OP says the 49ers want Kaepernick to learn the ropes from someone other than Smith.

Not for a trade. 49er fans laugh that anyone would give them a draft pick for Alex Smith.

That's because the fans hate him and chanted for Carr. Sort of like people here saying that no team would give up a pick for Cassel.

I wouldn't care whether they laughed about it or not. Like they're some kind of model organization.

It would be interesting to see what the required compensation would be.

ForeverChiefs58 · 08-19-2011, 03:26 PM

What is funny is the 49ers were talking about bringing in Culpepper. Even they think Culpepper is an upgrade over Smith to backup Kapernick.

Weird, they didn't have a 3rd string QB(McCown is now signed) and Smith is starting.

Or the fact that the organization wants nothing to do with Smith because he didn't live up to his hype.
