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. |

Let's not forget, Geno Smith took his WVU team to a STELLAR 7-6 record last year. Super Bowl baby!!!!

You're assuming that Crabtree is his #1 read and that just may not be the case. In fact, I would imagine that Vernon Davis is his #1 read and Smith clearly had no problem getting the ball into Davis. And Crabtree caught 72 passes in 2011 exclusively from Alex Smith. He was on pace to catch 72 from Smith again this season. Yes, there's no question that Crabtree was more effective under Kaepernick than Smith - but that doesn't mean Smith did anything wrong. He got the ball to his WR 72 times. That's quite a few in an offense that clearly wasn't built around spreading the ball out wide. When Kaepernick came in, Crabtree himself said that the routes changed as well. It isn't that Smith wouldn't throw them, it's that Harbaugh didn't call them because that's not playing to Alex Smith's strengths. It's called smart coaching (as well as smart QB play). Your conflating results you don't like with execution you don't like. You may not have liked the plan that Harbaugh put in with Smith in place, but Smith absolutely did a good job of executing that plan.

Yup comparing a QB who can barely even lead his College team to a bowl game is definitely worth comparing one who does it in the NFL. That's why Jamarcus Russel is so good.

My number 1 issue with him is his health.

He wouldn't be the first guy to get "sortered".
It's kinda fun to watch people get eviscerated from time to time.

Easily my greatest concern as well.
The guy really is injury prone. And his injuries are "do not **** around" style injuries as well. This isn't a guy getting turf toe, this is heads and throwing shoulders. I'd rather have him blow his knee out than either of those.

His health really hasnt been that bad.
He had the 1 surgery that went poorly. Most of it was being thrown under the bus by his HC Nolan. He will be good and successful with the Chiefs, I'm glad I can root for him again, God I hate the 9ers. |

I know how convenient and easy it is to say "Geno ballwasher" instead of making an actual point, but you should give it a try sometime. |

blows out his shoulder and plays the QB position and has a noodle for an arm the way it is. Yeah I guess that's not bad. Cool. A weak armed QB with no arm strength in today's pass happy NFL. The Chiefs in 2013. |
