Hello Chiefs' fans....I'm from the 49ers forum and NOT A TROLL. I am simply here to give you some heads up about Alex Smith. I have been a 49ers fan since 1980 and so I have no time for childish stuffs.
I really admired Alex Smith and am a bit known in our boards as an Alex homer. I am a staunch West Coast Offense supporter, big Bill Walsh supporter and of course now Jim Harbaugh supporter.
I also like Coach Andy Reid for being a Holmgren disciple and a WCO proponent and in this light you have reasons to be optimistic with Alex Smith. Alex Smith was subjected under unfair conditions with Coach Noland and Singletary both whom are responsible for the 49ers' demise for the last 8 years while in SF. Both have no clue how to coach, let alone both have no clue in any inclination in offense whatsoever.
Both also didn't support Alex Smith with an OC (remember he went through 7 years with different OCs everytime!) who can't really create any kind of momentum...bad offensive line and all.
And so with Andy Reid at the helm he would know how to use Alex Smith. He's gotten polished a bit under Jim Harbaugh in terminology and short/medium passing. So don't be panicking. He is stable and doesn't turn the ball over within the WCO.
He will be patient, and will get sack at most if there's no open "receivers". And thus the main key is the O-line, the running game and the playcalling to get him going. I will not BS you guys. He is a heady competitor and very efficient in the WCO.
Just don't expect anything spectacular. What he can give you is consistency and remember what he did against The Saints in the NFCCG last year? Well he was consistent and he loves the TE position (so sexual puns...bwahaha).
And so that's my 2 cents and wishing you guys luck.
