The Alex Smith to #Chiefs trade is now official. 49ers get 2nd round pick plus conditional 2014 pick. Chiefs get starting QB

The San Francisco 49ers have agreed to a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs. The 49ers will acquire an undisclosed 2013 draft choice, and a conditional pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, in return for sending QB Alex Smith to the Chiefs. Smith must pass a physical in Kansas City for the trade to be executed.

“We would like to thank Alex for his contributions to the 49ers organization over the past eight years,” said 49ers General Manager Trent Baalke. “He is a true professional who represented the 49ers with class on and off the field.”

Originally the first overall draft pick in the 2005 NFL Draft by San Francisco, Smith spent eight seasons in the red and gold. During his tenure with the 49ers, he started 75 of the 80 games in which he played, completing 1,290 of 2,177 pass attempts (59.3%) for 14,280 yards and 81 TDs.

In 2012, Smith was 6-2-1 as a starter, completing 153 of 218 pass attempts (70.2%) for 1,737 yards with 13 TDs and 5 INTs, and a QB rating of 104.1. In 2011, Smith led the 49ers to their first NFC West title and postseason berth since 2002. He threw for a career-high 3,144 yards on 273 of 445 pass attempts with 17 TDs, 5 INTs and a 90.7 QB rating.

Born in Seattle, WA, Smith attended Helix High School in LaMesa, CA. At the University of Utah, Smith boasted a 21-1 record as a starter and became the first player in school history to be named a finalist for the Heisman Trophy.

It's a process

Yes because Cassel led a team to the NFC Championship and yes, Cassel was the one that was the #1 QB and led his team to a 6-2 start before his injury.

Nice, so what's your evidence of Alex Smith being a "polished" Matt Cassel?

Alex Smith "led" his team to the NFC Championship the same way that Mark Sanchez "led" his team to the AFC Championship.

That is just one of my biggest harps on Alex Smith. Can he stay healthy enough to stay on the field for 16 games? His endurance track record isn't very good. He is weak. He has to rely on the run game so if Andy Reid expects him to pass more than 30 times a game he is going start to crumble. He is no better than any other retread QB we have seen the past 30 years.

I just don't see what we're going to do without our second round pick and if we can't trade down. If you only have Chase Daniels and Alex Smith on the roster by the time the draft rolls around you have to think one of our picks will be spent on a QB (More than likely a fourth round selection). I think we really screwed ourselves by giving up that second round pick, especially if we can't trade down to pick it back up.

not really,
Smith hasn't had a major injury since he had his shoulder rebuilt in 2008 he played in 26 consecutive games in the last 2 seasons until he had his concussion, started every game in 2011, and has taken some monster hits and gotten back up and still played,so in essence you really don't know that much about Smith or his durability.
people are going to be surprised by this guy he has a chip on his shoulder and I have no doubt he wants to prove dumping him was a big mistake.

This is true. Been seeing a lot more posts like this since the frenzy of the last week or so ended. Although personally, I think it has more to do with keeping Bowe and Albert than anything

One move I think would be interesting would be to bring Nate Washington over to KC. He's a good vet who's still relatively young (29) and is available for a late rounder. Would fit in nicely next to Bowe methinks.

And this is how I became a Bears fan.

**** you, Alex Smith. **** you, John Dorsey.

Sweet Daddy Hate · 03-12-2013, 11:57 PM

Quite possibly the most ignorant and insignificant franchise in the NFL.
