Yeah, that's as silly as Boss projection of 4500 yards and 40 TDs

They have two 2nds and two 3rds so it's goiong to cost at least a 2nd and a 3rd.

In 2011....he dropped back 445 times and got sacked 44 times (lead the league).

2011 - Sacked once for every 10 times he dropped back.
2012 - Sacked once for every 9 times he dropped back.

If the Chiefs are greedy, they won't be able to move him, which means in 2014, they'll get nothing for him.

The smart move is to take a second and whatever else they can get.

That doesn't seem greedy to me. Instead of a 5th then we get their 2nd and then we swap our 4th for thier 3rd.

A little factual information for those that care.

Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman, preached to Alex Smith, to protect the football. A kick should end every drive. Punt, Fg, or extra point. Thats considered a good drive to them.

Second. For those that think that Crabtree has been held back by Alex Smith, 3, or Alex Smiths last 4 td passes, were to Crabtree.

Third, for the first time in Crabtrees career, he came into camp, uninjured, and in shape. For the first time in his career, he participated, in pre season games. In 2011, the 49ers had crap for receivers. Crabtree, and Braylon Edwards were the starters. Crabtree got hurt week one, didnt play week two, on the first play of the game for the 49ers, Edwards got hurt, was never the same was released. In the 49ers blow out of tampa bay, josh morgan, alex smiths favorite receiver, got hurt, and was lost for the season. So, for those that are parading this elite players around him bullshit, you dont know what you are talking about. Their play makers, were no where to be found. Alex Smith had Vernon Davis to throw to in 2011, and that was it. And even VERNON DAVIS, google the shit if you dont believe me, said that he didnt even understand the offense until week 10, and wanted to quit he was so frustrated.

In 2012, when Alex Smith was injured, the 49ers led the league in rushing..........Why do you need to pass all the time, when you have a great defense, AND lead the league in rushing? Hmmmmmmmm? If you can respectfully answer that question with a logical answer, other than, "alex smith is a liability." then we have something we can talk about. There is no reason to keep passing, if you can run the ball for 5 yards at a pop, keep your defense off the field, the other teams offense off the field, control the clock, and the game. The running game without alex smith, fell from 1st to 4th, and thats including all of kaeps long runs. Alex Smith is no franchise savior, he is a franchise stabilizer. Clay, you just need to relax man. Its not as bad as you think. Numbers, dont always tell the truth. I see you have yet to mention that Alex Smith, while completing 70 percent of his passes last year, was also second to only colin kaepernick, in YARDS PER ATTEMPT... So how is all he does is dink and dunk?

What is your purpose here?

He's the Anti-Clay.

:)

Well, it has to do with three facts:

Alex Smith completed only 9 passes over 20 yards last year.

Alex Smith throws the ball deep less than anyone, save Ponder.

Alex Smith throws fewer intermediate passes than Matt Cassel, who is a dink and dunk QB.

They can tag him again in 2014.

Or, they could ****ing PAY THE MAN.

But then they'd have to pay him $12 million, right? An increase of 20% over his previous Franchise Designation?

I don't think the Chiefs will pay a left tackle $12 million per. I don't think anyone would pay an LT $12 million per, especially with the new CBA.

10%, so $10.8m.

I'd pay a bionic Ogden 12M/year.

Robot arms and all baby!
