and then you top it off by calling Geno Smith a running QB. |

In reality I was happy the rumor was to KC because I DON'T WANT TO FACE HIM TWICE A YEAR. Clearly I have a much better opinion of him than you guys do. |

I know your answer... and yes, same with us. We would rather take a chance on a future star to call our own than take yet ANOTHER teams leftover like we have done for 30 ****ing years. You 49er fans have no clue what its like to root for a terrible franchise that keeps making the same mistake over and over. |

Chiefs fans do not give a FLYING fuck about winning the division. Chiefs fans are sick to death of having a team that is good enough to win a division (if the schedule breaks right and there are no injuries) but has no realistic shot of winning the whole thing because it has a caretaker at QB. Yes, Kansas City would probably be a better team on Day 1 next year with Alex Smith at QB than Geno Smith or anyone else available. Yes, Alex Smith is a proven commodity who isn't going to hurt you. But he's also not a guy who can WIN games for you in the playoffs. He's not going to lead a team to comeback victories when elimination is on the line. He's good enough to get you to the dance, but he's going to step on your feet once you get there. KC has had its fill of QBs that fit that description. Especially ones who used to play for the 49ers. It spent the 90s locked into that cycle, and came away with absolutely nothing to show for it (except for AFC West titles in 95 and 97, woo). It's about winning the Super Bowl. You win the Super Bowl with Qbs who can make plays in today's NFL. Gunslingers who can make things happen. Not game managers like Alex Smith, who can be successful if they have great running attacks and defenses around them. So, yes, Chiefs fans WOULD rather roll the dice on Geno Smith at No. 1 overall (BTW, if you haven't noticed, he's creeping up draft boards) and his upside as a potential franchise, upper tier guy, than trade for Alex Smith and rely on his proven floor and nonexistent upside. Geno Smith can be the guy you need to win in the playoffs. Alex Smith can not. We, as fans, are aiming higher than winning our division and flaming out in the second round of the playoffs. And it's about goddamn time the organization did, too.

Some neurons clearly aren't firing properly.

He's a conventional, pass-first QB in the mold of Aaron Rodgers, Sam Bradford, Andrew Luck (great athlete who CAN hurt with his legs but is all about making plays with his arm.)

Thanks. I am an Alex Smith fan, so that's what brought me here. I think maybe if people here got to know what Alex is about they would change their tune. Maybe it's going to happen that way? I just don't think many people here are too knowledgeable(sp) on Alex's abilty. I understand people not liking Smith(I've dealt with it for years), but to not like a guy that will come in and put some stability in your QB situation for at least a season or two, help get Charles more yardage with his best ability in reading defenses before the snap. Alex was also top rated QB against the blitz and pressure. Why would you not want that? Why would you guys not want to get better and have a guy like Alex possibly take you to the playoffs? It's not like you are signing him to a huge contract, and with Andy Reid I think Alex could be just as good if not better playing for you guys. They guy will come in and offer immediate leadership. If you draft a QB he will help him learn the game(ask Kaep. and our coaches how much Alex has helped). The guy will work his tail off and he will be playing with a huge chip on his shoulder. Again why not get better? Do you guys really think Alex is that bad? As I said I understand wanting a Super Star QB but I don't see one around anywhere. Alex will make your team better, and you already have a decent foundation. I just don't see why so many are opposed to that. |

Did you see Kaepernick as a future super star? Exactly. Teams HAVE TO TAKE A CHANCE, not settle for other teams scrubs. The 49ers know Alex Smith is not good enough and that is why he is being shopped. If he was good enough, you assholes would still be starting him next season. |

It's an epic disaster, and the same goddamn disaster we've been watching for 30 years, if they trade for Alex Smith and don't draft anything but developmental guys, late.
