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.

My theory is that Andy Reid will change to a run first offense under Smith. Smith can't run what Reid did in Philly, but Reid won't make him do that. It's a guarantee failure.

Profootballcentral who first broke the smith trade is reporting Bowe is really warming up to his contract offer after hearing Alex Smith will be the new qb.

Hey Guys! Andy is just the best coach out there, isn't he?!

Welcome to hell. Don't say we didn't warn you.

The Broncos get Peyton Manning for free and the Chiefs give up 2 2nd round picks for Alex Smith.

JFC I hate this team.

The only hope is that the next time Alex Smith gets injured, it will be career ending.

And I will cheer.

Cause coaches change like that?


Reid is bringing Alex Smith in to run a pass heavy oriented offense. He's not going to try and hide him with a heavy running game.

I find it unjustifiable, but it doesn't mean I'm talking about shitting on other posters and entirely dismissing all other views...with idiotic hyperbole. It makes us all sound like dumb rednecks, which we aren't (most of us).

As my post stated above. Game manager means running an offense. Years before, even the WR coach said they never even ran a slant route. Alex was asked to go out there and make plays and receivers weren't allowed to break off routes. That and he never had the chance to audible until Harbaugh. Something that makes Alex so successful, reading a defense. Singletary nor Nolan gave him that luxury.

This is what Alex is good at. Running an offense. That gets mistaken as being a game manager, but what exactly is a game manager in the first place?

Broncos are paying $20 million a year for a QB that has won 1 super bowl in 15 seasons.

Tim Tebow got the Broncos further.

Throwing shit against the wall/reading tea leaves isn't reporting news.

A guy limited in his on field decision making to limit interceptions and turns over on downs.

I dunno, why couldn't he change? Mike McCoy changed the broncos offense for Tebow. It's not impossible. I'm just thinking, why would get a qb to run an offense that he isn't able to effectively run?
