Alot of people and media are saying we look a whole lot like the 2011 niners. Last time i checked there's only ONE guy from that team that's on ours now: ALEX SMITH. And the resemblance begins as soon as he arrives. I'm not here to give Alex credit for the D's domination. I'm just here to point out that Alex's style of play and efficiency has a huge impact on not only our offense but our Defense as well. This "game manager" approach sets up his defenses in good field position and provides ample rest for defensive players. These are two of the biggest factors besides good coaching in maximizing defensive success. Sometimes teams don't really get to figure out how great their defense can be because the qb keeps turning the ball over.
In my opinion no coincidence. The Reason why our D is dominant is because they have a qb who's finally understands them has their back.

Seems to me that Reid had given this a lot of thought. He recognized that with a scheme change, this KC defense could be quite special. So then, he asked himself, what kind of QB could I add that would complement this defense? Someone who could quickly learn my playbook, take care of the football, but take the strikes needed to matriculate us down the field? The kind of QB that could utilize play-action passes very well, since we have such a RB threat in JC? The kind of QB that would have experience and patience as this new offense takes time to come together?
"Hmmmm... who would be my ideal and remotely available QB to fit into all of this?" Reid asks to self.
