Chiefs If the Chiefs go 8-8 or better 49ers get a 2nd round pick. - Page 104

ShowtimeSBMVP · 05-06-2013, 07:21 AM

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.

They wanted him so bad they benched him mid way through his best season and traded him in the following offseason...

Some peoples children.

You think the 49ers were going to pay Smith 7.5M to be a backup? GTFO. He was on his way to being cut as well. Shame the Chiefs were too scared that someone else might get a mediocre QB who hasn't done much better than Cassel for his career and overspent on yet another 49er washout.

He should be beaten with a rubber hose for that remark.

Suuuuuuuure.

If you extend him now and he has a career ending injury this season, you've thrown away a lot of money. There's no reason to extend him until the end of this year, unless you really think you can get a bargain by jumping the gun.

Hell half the team is brand new. S, nickel CB, #2 CB, ILB, DE, G, RT, #2 WR, TE, #2 TE.
It's gonna take more than 1 offseason to clean up this mess.

Then they probably shouldn't have paid such a high price for a quarterback like Alex Smith, especially if he's just a two-year player.

If it's a big mess and they need a few offseasons to clean it up, spending the equivalent of a first-round pick on a stopgap QB makes no logical sense.

Spending that much to get Alex Smith - yes, the best available QB on the FA/trade market - only makes sense if you're trying to win now and think you can win big with him.

So if you extend him after this year, then he has a career ending injury, you're better off?

If you are that afraid of a guy having a career ending injury, you probably don't want to extend him.

Do you really think they see him as only a two-year player?

I can only hope.

The embarrassment of the trade is already gone. The embarrassment of tying the knot to this guy for the next 5 years can be prevented.

No, I don't.

But many in SUPPORT of the trade and price given cite that the team isn't "tied" to Alex Smith and can cut him lose, but that the deal was worth it because it gives them the best chance to win right now. While also saying that the Chiefs can always get their franchise guy later.

You generally don't extend a guy with two years left on his contract. You extend him with one year (or less) left to keep him from getting to free agency. If free agency didn't exist, you'd wait all the way until the contract expired to negotiate a new one. The only reason to extend a contract before you need to, is if you think you can get the guy cheap now but that he's going to blow up and demand a huge contract later.

If you deviate from that norm and something goes wrong, you've made a bonehead blunder. If you don't deviate from that norm but something goes wrong, it's just bad luck.

Best option out there this offseason and Reid has always liked his ability.

his team wanted him so bad they drafted his replacement, let him become a free agent, courted peyton manning, resigned him after manning signed, then benched him halfway through the year, then traded him.

that sounds like the timeline of a team "wanting" somone

Pioli left this regime with holes to fill in a lot of spots.
Can't expect them to be this winning team in January in year 1.

"they had no choice". Yet, we can not expect a playoff appearance after being told, "all we need is a good game manager and competent coaching to be in it". You TF's are just ass-backward pathetic. Find a goddamned excuse and stick with it instead of trying to "nuance" your FAIL, please...

And I like it that they aren't rewarding Alex Smith with an extention like Pioli did. They knew he was the best player available for the position, but if he doesn't back it up, he'll get benched.

The compensation sucks, but he was the best QB out there and we had no choice. SF had all the leverage.
