Cassel was a pro bowler in 2010. :spock:

Hmm. That might be because Kaepernick is better.

**** YOU

GET THE **** OUT

GO KILL YOURSELF RIGHT NOW

Yeah, see, no. No. Because Colin Kaepernick averaged 290 yards passing and rushing per game.

So no.

No.

the last 6 regular season games Vernon Davis had 6 receptions (total) for 61 yards and 0 TDs. Kaepernick = Cassel because he only makes one read!!!!

So dumb.

I was on the GSIII bandwagon with everyone else. I listened to McShay on the radio the other day and no one else sees what we see. Obviously Andy Reid didn't see it and it's not like he's against taking QB's...he was booed off the stage when they made the controversial McNabb pick.

This board has been wrong about QB's before. Draft experts have been wrong about QB's before. McShay was the guy who said Clausen wouldn't be drafted in round 1 while Kiper stubbornly had him #3 on his big board and ranked over Sam Bradford.

Obviously, despite what kind of success Geno/Barkley MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE, we (because we're the Chiefs) had to get the #1 pick the 1 year there was no stud QB prospect in the draft.

I know that sucks, and I know people are going to plug their ears with their fingers and scream "la la la la la la la" but clearly that's how the "experts" and even the teams view it.

I hate that we seemingly bid against ourselves (I could be wrong) to get Alex Smith...however, as I've said from the first day of this trade, if they don't extend him and make him play at least 1 year of his contract to determine what kind of QB Alex Smith REALLY is, and re-sign Bowe and Albert I'm willing to give the regime a shot before I resort to being a full fledged ChiefsPlanet drama queen.

Woah...

I'm very optimistic because we have new coaches, new system, new QB and still have the draft. Feeling a very exciting season coming up for the Chiefs! Go Chiefs! ;)

He has to average that. in every single playoff game it was his shitty play that led to the 49ers trailing in every single playoff game. it was his pick vs the packers that set the team back, it was his inability to pick up a first down that put them down vs the falcons, and it was his shitty play that led to the huge deficit against the ravens. Thats why he HAS to throw for that many yards. Alex Smith is a controlled based qb. He relies on the running game, thats why with him at qb this year, the 49ers led the league in rushing. he doesnt turn the ball over, he doesnt force anything. But, i mean according to your logic, you would rather have matt cassell because he isnt afraid to take risks. 37 turnovers your qbs had last year.

Colin Kaepernick is arguably the most talented QB in the NFL. Maybe ever. Can throw like Favre, run like Randall, and has a body that was chiseled by the God's themselves.

I don't think any of the people who are suggesting Smith >> Cassel are saying Smith >= to Kaepernick.

Kaepernick, if he continues working and gets a little better with reads and anticipation throws, can be the best QB in the NFL. Smith could never be that.

Everyone knows that.

It sucks, I wanted Geno Smith. I wanted a QB. I wanted our own QB. Not another castoff...that is a legit reason for anger/disappointment.

I don't need to pile on Alex Smith and pretend he's Matt Cassel version 2 though...because he isn't. I watch enough football to be able to form my own opinions on guys, though. I don't read what other people say and regurgitate it.

I sincerely hope a chimpanzee tears your face off and force feeds it to your family before tearing off all their faces and pushing them into an active volcano.

stopped reading right here

LMAO

Kaepernick was outstanding in the postseason...he did make ONE bad throw against Baltimore in the Super Bowl...

the defense put them in a hole against Atlanta...that one was NEVER on Kaepernick. Kaepernick single-handedly won them that game.

Kaep was a very slow starter in every playoff game. and ramped it up. there is no denying that. He was a second half beast though. Im not saying he is shitty. im saying he played shitty in the first halfs leading to him to have to produce those stats. Kaep is a young player with 10 starts, and everything you said is true. Hes a beast. Thats why he is the starter there and alex smith is the starter here. that doesnt make alex crap, it just makes kaep a boss.

It doesn't make Alex Smith crap, but Alex Smith is still crap.

Snoopy, you are showing yourself to be not sane. Electro-shock therapy could help.

When Alex starts winning games- people will love him. Trent Green was very unpopular at first too.

im gonna puke
