If the Chiefs go 8-8 or better 49ers get a 2nd round pick.
A third- or second-rounder from Kansas City, the remnant of the Alex Smith deal. Now it can be told: The second draft choice San Francisco will receive from the Smith deal will be K.C.'s second-rounder in 2014 if the Chiefs go 8-8 or better this season. It will be a third-rounder in 2014 if Kansas City is under .500 this season.
So: San Francisco will probably have first-, second- and four third-rounders next year. But if the Chiefs surprise, it'll more likely be a one, two twos and three threes. As we've seen, GM Trent Baalke is dangerous with extra picks in his hands. If Colin Kaepernick is very good, the Niners should be annual contenders for years with the picks laid out that way.

At the very least, I found this article to be interesting in this boring time of the offseason.... It is not here as "proof" of anything.

Call me a True Fan or a Homer if you must. If this team does win 9 or 10 games and gets into the playoffs, I'm not so sure that we are in line for the automatic ass kicking many here think we would get. The core of our football team is very good. Charles, Bowe, DJ, Hali, Albert, Flowers, and even Berry to go along side of Smith should not get blown out like some young rookie team.

We actually added some nice young talent this year as well that can add to said core, in Fisher and Kelsey, among others. |

However, like you said, the "core" here isn't so young. We needed to add the next wave of "core" guys to go along with Berry, Houston, Poe etc. Hopefully Fisher can be that guy, among another draft pick or two |

He's got a team that was built to support a quarterback that needed a solid defense, run support and possession receiving to be successful. The problem is, the QB's that we've had have been downright atrocious in this build. Alex Smith is not. He's a good QB. And he'll have the correct system/players around him to be successful right off the bat here in Kansas City. Guys like Charles and Bowe have to be elated to have a guy like Smith after suffering through the Cassel years. Yes, Smith isn't going to take the top off of a defense via his arm, but he will give guys like Bowe, Fasano, Moeaki, Charles and even McCluster the opportunity to make plays and those are the guys you want making the plays. These are guys who've put up very, very solid numbers with absolute dogshit getting them the ball. Smith has very good timing and will get these guys the ball at the right time in the correct space that will let them do their thing. He will keep the ball in play and keep the offense on the field. With not only Smith, but Colquitt, we'll win the ball position battle. With our defense not playing 70% of the game on the field, they'll be in positions to have our playmakers on that side of the ball be more effective. Hali and Houston will have the gas to get after QB's in the fourth quarter. Our defensive linemen will still have push against the O-line late in the game. Alex Smith will have a cumulative positive effect on the entire team in a game situation. No, he's not Elway, but he can be a very effective game manager and this is exactly what this team needs as it's currently built. Like I said, I wanted that QBOTF, but I'm going going to lament the signing of Smith. It's a solid pickup. I don't think we could have done better in terms of a known quantity/quality and it will definitely make this team better right from the get go. |

My only problem with it is, Reid isn't really known to run an offense like that. They're gonna throw it around and try and score points. |

Reid knows enough of Smith's game to make him his priority signing this offseason. Don't think that he's not going to make the adjustments necessary to make Smith successful in his system. He gave Donovan McNabb the adjustments to be an All-Pro who ends up horribad once he leaves Reid's system. Mike Vick has his best year ever with Reid and he's a completely different QB than McNabb. Smith is very smart and will easily adapt to what Reid has planned and Reid's understanding of the game and the QB position will enable him to get the most out of Smith. This is going to be a much better team than what we all saw under the Peeholi and Herm years. Last year was as bad as it can get for an NFL football team. 2013 will be substantially better. I'm over the disappointment of not using that #1 pick on a QB, as much as I wanted Geno. I'm objective enough to realize that they made some very good to superb coaching hirings and very solid free agent pickups at the necessary positions. This team will be able to compete with any team in the league from the get go. |

What's the most receptions and TDs scored by a WR with Smith as QB?

I don't think many here think Alex is gonna come in and shit the bed...in fact, I think even the guys (like myself) that don't like the trade acknowledge that AS will come in and vastly improve this team.
I think the heart of the disagreements are when we talk about how far this team can go with him at QB. That's talking about how he will perform against the top defenses, given his physical limitations. That's where I think the move pisses people off. We, again, traded for a guy that a true contender deemed "not good enough to win it all with" I think this is a classic alpha male type move where Andy Reid genuinely thinks he can get Alex Myth to play at a higher level than Jim Harbaugh did and hopefully, he is right. Truth be told, after all the bitching about these things, I'm just as excited as I would have been last year if we had re-signed Kyle Orton...not much more. |

Maybe. I do have a big "if" before the winning 9 or 10 games. We get there, I think this team may just be legit. But I'm not going to bet the farm we get there just yet either.
