If no draft picks are involved, does that change your opinion on bringing him in?

Draft pick, Smith, Stanzi(?) as your QB's in camp.

The Smith to Chiefs rumors are starting to heat up (on Twitter at least, where everything is true).

Do I think it's an upgrade? Yes. Would I be happy about it? No.

We all saw how the "Andy Reid to Arizona, no wait he's in Philly meeting with the Chiefs, oh he's gonna be announced in KC tomorrow" saga went on Twitter too.

Don't get too excited yet. Right now, in terms of the Alex Smith rumors, we are ARIZONA, not Kansas City.

it would be csshole all over again. Or...name whatever garbage rehash Chiefs QB of the past suits your fancy. Either way...it would be Peeholi FAIL part deux.

I think the switch to Kaepernick was so perfectly timed that it is the reason they are in the superbowl.

Everyone prepared for the niners as a ball-control, run-first offense. Suddenly, halfway through the season, there is no more game tape on them, because the offense is totally different.

I think Alex Smith would have likely led them to the NFC championship anyway, but who knows after that.

Genius coaching.

That said, I do believe Alex Smith could be successful wherever he goes next. It's not like the guy sucks. He has always had a respectable TD/INT rate. He just hasn't been a playmaker.

I don't think he is Matt Cassel. I think Cassel's biggest problem is that he can't throw the ball with any velocity or accuracy. In short, he is a professional quarterback that is back at throwing the ball. That doesn't describe Alex Smith.

I am more than happy to have Alex Smith come to KC and start winning games. Get positive vibes rolling, allow the offense to actually develop. Because Jon Baldwin will always be a hopeless turd if he doesn't at least have a chance to catch the ball. He might be a turd, but with a real QB it won't be hopeless.

However, the BEST part of Alex Smith coming would be allowing Geno Smith to sit for a year or two and develop. I know that rookies come in kicking ass these days, but I think Geno could actually use the time. I think he could use the coaching. And make him hungry. Everyone knows Geno is a studious, filmroom junkie. With a year of coaching and staying injury-free, he could come out in 2014 and destroy fools.

Alex Smith doesn't want to tutor young QBs. If he did, he'd finish his contract in SF, where he's getting paid like a STARTER, instead of trying to get out.

As I've stated before, there is no way that the Chiefs take Smith at #1 overall and even sit him for a game, barring injury.

It would be a P.R. disaster and he'd be labeled a bust from Day One. I doubt he'd recover from it.

If they choose a QB at #1, he HAS to start on opening day. There are no other options.

I disagree.

Then he's still going to have a year of learning when he gets thrown in. That's 3 years to see what you have in a guy.


If you draft a qb at 1 he better damn well start

Then you are and idiot

I think this attitude is a purely emotional response. It is illogical to say there is no situation in existence where your top pick doesn't start day one.

I don't give a shit when my first overall pick starts playing. What I care about is when he stops, and how well he played during that time.

Because if his last game is twelve years away with a Lombardi trophy and MVP, then why the hell would I care that he didn't start his first year, or first game?

But it is a fair point, and probably realistic to assume, that Alex Smith wouldn't want to go to a team that takes a QB. So, yeah, I will concede that point. Wishful thinking on my part, I guess.

Meh. Fitzpatrick says Hi. A fail of a QB who scored one of the highest out of all QBs in this league. You can go be a Bills fan and root for him. Our fanbase would instantly be upgraded. Also McElroy a career backup also scored really high. Go be a Jets fan and you can also legitimately root for Tebow. Double the fun! GTFO dude.
