Alex Smith Traded to Chiefs
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. |

Usually I just hear "At least he's better then Cassell". So I don't know if the spike would be because we got Alex Smith or if it's because we are starting anyone but Cassell. I still say Reid is the reason 80-90% of the people would renew though. |

I think the problem is Can Alex be post Harbaugh on a team that doesn't have the talent the 49ers do?" What's going to happen when he is asked to shoulder more of the load?

I just hope andy knows what he is doing, and this isnt some reach move. I know dilfer said andy has liked alex since he was drafted, but sometimes, the grass is always greener on the other side. Kinda like that girl you always like from afar, and then you get with her and realize shes nothing like you expected

Realistically? At least an AFC Championship game appearance. That and Geno Smith/Matt Barkley have to bust and be worse than Smith. If Smith is average over the next two years and Geno Smith/Matt Barkley become top 15 QBs.....then this trade was a failure.

If that's the case, a playoff appearance would be enough for me to consider it a successful trade on its own. However, the Chiefs would have to be continuously scouring for a replacement for him for me to be pleased with their handling of the position if the best he can do is a playoff appearance. It really is an opportunity cost issue and nothing more.

The teams to beat in the AFC are as follows right now. Top Tier: Denver, New England, Baltimore Above Average (Always Competing): Pittsburgh, Houston, Cincinnati On the Rise: Indianapolis That's realistically 7 teams that are going to be fighting for 6 spots. You can maybe (with Alex Smith) put Kansas City in the On the Rise section. Even if the Chiefs somehow get into a WC spot.....they're going to playing a team like Baltimore, Houston Or Indy. That's a tough game on the road to have to win. |
