Well, it looks like the deal is done.
https://twitter.com/intent/user?scre...w_p=tweetembed Jay Glazer @JayGlazer 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. |

It's not as if we haven't seen this before. This fanbase has seen YEARS AND YEARS of this kind of QB---the smart "game manager" that thinks that a punt or taking a sack is better than a turnover. The "great leader" type that is not a franchise QB. All through the 90's we had a great defense paired with exactly this kind of QB (with the possible exception of a broken-down Montana). DeBerg and Steve Bono were prime examples of this kind of QB. We went 13-3 with Bono in 1995. DeBerg had a magical year where he threw 24 TD passes and 4 ints. WE HAVE SEEN THIS MOVIE BEFORE AND KNOW HOW IT ENDS---without a SB trophy. To us, this seems like yet another administration giving up on getting a franchise guy the minute they walk in the door. So, yes it's partially about history, but it's also about your boy---we've seen him before and we don't see playoff appearances and a full stadium as an acceptable end goal. So what if he's better than Damon Huard or Matt Cassel? He's still not good enough to realistically create a Super Bowl run without a firestorm of serendipity. |

I mean we all know that only teams that go 12-4, get the first round bye make the super bowl. Thats why in the past 5 years, two number 6 seeds, won the super bowl, and this year, the 4th seed did. You surely showed me.

I could have bought mediocrity for a hell of a lot less.

THEY HAD A FRANCHISE QB. In fact, you could go back to 2005, and point out how Big Ben won his first SB when the Steelers were a 10-6 no. 6 seed if you want to go back to the start of this "hot in the playoffs" recent trend. Eli, Big Ben, and Joe Flacco (who no one would have called a "franchise" guy before the 2012 playoffs, but went 11-0 TD/INT ratio---reminds me of what Eli did in 2007). If you want to argue that Alex Smith is a proto-Joe Flacco who has yet to blossom, I might give you more credence (but I'd still not believe you). But, that's not what you think. If you think a "smart, game manager" is going to blow up and lead anyone to the promised land, then you're a guy that chases a two out draw when the other players are already all-in (as in, you don't have any more implied odds to chase so you can't argue value). Basically, you want to play playoff lotto WITHOUT A FRANCHISE QB---and expect us to dance in the streets in joy at what we know is a losing strategy. Sure, idiots can hit two out draws and win huge hands. That doesn't make them good poker players---or good GM's. I, however, am not as apoplectic as many are here. If Reid/Dorsey follow their history and keep chasing young QB's until they finally get a franchise guy, then I don't have a huge problem with the Smith deal. More than a bit pricey, but I guess Reid and Dorsey see what happens to GM's and coaches of losing teams. Last edited by JohnnyV13; 03-06-2013 at 05:16 PM.. |

I can't figure out how he has the ability to lecture considering he's got Alex Smyth's balls in his mouth 24x7.
