49ers have completed a trade with the Chiefs for Alex Smith, tho can't be official til March 12. Chiefs really made a commitment to Smith

Jay Glazer @JayGlazer
Deal has been agreed upon between Chiefs and 49ers. Compensation unclear but I'm told again Chiefs have made a clear commitment to Smith.

so Andy Reid is going to let this guy come in here and just magically start slinging it 30-40 times a game in Andys offense, a guy that is coming from a team that told him to basically take the sack because his crappy noodle arm and gun shy ability to fit it in a window ends up in turnovers.

oh, joy, that's not a recipe for disaster or anything

Alex Smith is capable of putting up 25 TD's.

The guy is going to be better in KC. We're going to air it out way more than he ever did in San Francisco.

But like I said, the Geno's not walking through that door. I hate it, but it is what it is.

So let's discuss what we will have for a bit. What we will have really isn't half as bad as some folks are making him out to be.

And I'll be absolutely shocked if Alex Smith doesn't improve under Andy Reid.

While Harbaugh is certainly a very good head coach, he and Greg Roman aren't exactly offensive "wizards" with decades long track record of developing and/or making average QB's appear to be well above average.

All of this "gloom and doom" and Smith=Cassel is complete and utter garbage.

And when SF made him air out, they lost. Brillant move then.

You do know He's only thrown like 12 INT's in his last 26 games right?

So I guess that kinda answers that question....

Yes, Smith is taking sacks because he's trying to make plays with his legs instead of throwing interceptions.

Why do we think that's a bad thing again?

Andy Reid isn't much better, his stats without McNabb and Favre are horrible.

If you look at the 3rd down stats as well those aren't only the QB's stats. 49ers often, very often, ran on third downs as well. Did it with Kaep as well. 49ers short yardage situations were horrible all year.

So it's pretty unfair to base a QB on 3rd down percentage when he hands the ball off.

Actually that won them a playoff game.

Against the Saints in the playoffs, Smith threw the ball 42 times and scored 3 TD's while putting 300 yards on the board.

And boom goes the alexmite.

And he was 3-13 the other 16 times they asked him to do it.

38 checkdowns and 2 interceptions. Andy Reid's new secret weapon offense.

Against the Saints.......

That's like bragging about holding the Chiefs offense down last year.

When were these games? What team? What coach?

That tends to make a big difference.

So Alex beats the offense with the most passing yards ever in regular season, and that's nothing to you? Alex outplayed Drew Brees in the playoffs and that's a bad thing?
