If the Chiefs go 8-8 or better 49ers get a 2nd round pick.

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

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.

I'm glad we didn't go Flynn too...

But those seconds are good trade up ammo.

Couple seconds or a first?

I have tried repeatedly to remain positive when they keep doing the same darn thing over and over again.

Pretty soon you have to look the horse right in the mouth and say, damn, you are not winning the Kentucky Derby as a Shetland Pony no matter how much I like you.

Alex, the Palamino.

Can't wait to see Alex single-handedly keep that second round pick all safe and secure. You go girl!

no, because if you had LISTENED, Andy Reid had made it PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE, that he has liked alex smith since he was drafted. That is the qb he wanted. he had other options. What other options did pioli have? He targeted Matt Cassell and that was it. The Chiefs could of went after Kolb for nothing, Palmer for peanuts, Flynn who dorsey was familiar with. So many other ways to go. At the end of the day, the HEAD COACH, not the GM, the head coach got who he wanted.

If Alex Smith is as horrible as some of you doomsday fans are, you wont have to worry about that second rounder, you will be top 10 and able to get a qb next year.....Which, i believe you will draft on in the first round next year, regardless of where you are. The draft class should be ridiculously deep.

I do take offense, that i am considered a troll. i am not laughing at you, i am not screaming how you suck, I am not doing what kaepernick is doing, running down your team to get on your good side. Im just here to talk football. If that makes me a "troll", then you really need to post a definition of it.

Cowboys and Steelers both went 8-8 last year.

This put them tied for 15th in the league in wins. Dead nuts in the heart of mediocre.

Of course both missed the playoffs.

I have to correct you on that one.

Jim Harbaugh gave Alex Smith a great deal of credit for mentoring Kaepernick.

"Another guy with Alex's experience may have not been as willing to help," 49ers fullback Bruce Miller said. "Colin being young, Alex being the veteran, he helped him game-plan and helped in meetings."

49ers coach Jim Harbaugh paid Smith a huge compliment Monday.

"Alex has really helped coach Colin in meetings every single day," Harbaugh said. "He coaches Colin now more than I do. That speaks volumes to how good a teammate Alex Smith is."

"When Kaep comes to the sidelines, Alex tells him what he sees. Whatever happens, I just wish the best for Alex."

When has this not been true?

You are right to say that the last game manager to win a super bowl was Trent Dilfer in 2000. Even Brad Johnson can't be a game manager, the year he had in 2003 with the Bucs.

But it goes way back to before 2000. Elite QB play is a staple of super bowl winning teams.

Just looking back 25 years, you can see that most SB winning QBs have been elite or nearly elite.

2012 Joe Flacco Near elite
2011 Eli Manning Near elite
2010 Aaron Rodgers Elite
2009 Drew Brees Elite
2008 Ben Roethlisberger Near elite
2007 Eli Manning Near elite
2006 Peyton Manning Elite
2005 Ben Roethlisberger Near elite
2004 Tom Brady Elite
2003 Tom Brady Elite
2002 Brad Johnson Top 10
2001 Tom Brady Elite
2000 Trent Dilfer Game Manager
1999 Kurt Warner Elite
1998 John Elway Elite
1997 John Elway Elite
1996 Brett Favre Elite
1995 Troy Aikman Elite
1994 Steve Young Elite
1993 Troy Aikman Elite
1992 Troy Aikman Elite
1991 Mark Rypien Top 10
1990 Jeff Hoestetler Game Manager
1989 Joe Montana Elite
1988 Joe Montana Elite

Only 2 game managers have one a superbowl in the last 25 years.

Elite QBs won 16 of the last 25 superbowls.

Add in the "near elite" QBs, and combined they have won 21 of the past 25, including the last 10 superbowls.

A game manager has not won a super bowl in 12 years.

There is a reason Jim Harbaugh is quoted saying, "Do we need a top-flight quarterback? Do human beings need air to breathe?"

Harbaugh was not in SF a week before he told a reporter that. Not a week. It is that vital to him.

fast forward...one whole day...another worthless backup arrives, but this time he brings his own short bus of special fans...fans all wearing t-shirts from some mall kiosk that have a low-res photo of Smith's face underneath the words, "Backups Are People Too"

on behalf of Chiefsplanet, I'd like to welcome you...welcome you to throw yourselves, and your fat stupid ugly families into an industrial strength wood chipper

Alex isn't a back up. He's a starter. The second he wasn't the guy in SF his fate was sealed. It was just a matter of where he'd be starting next. It's not like Alex was a bad QB and was replaced with a decent one. He was a good qb replaced with one that has already set records.
