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.

Every Franchise goes through irrelevancy. I know you can attest to this, you guys have had some amazing seasons, but its a down time for you at the moment. He has all the tools and you will find out soon that his arm is more than adaquete. If you have any type of line, he will thrive.

Vernon Davis, who would beat out every TE that has played in KC since Tony Gonzalez left.

Clark should make a new tradition starting today. On the hall to the GM's office will be the portriats of every QB to start a game as a Chief. The most recent is placed above the GM's door. Then decends down to the first.

at least they tried...

Sure I wanted Geno Smith but all the disdain for Alex Smith has made me fan. I hope he proves all his ditractors wrong. IMO he's a closer to a Trent Green/ Drew Brees combo more than he is a Cassel 2.0. The guys done nothing but work his whole career. I don't really care about his first few years in the league and I don't think they represent what he is now as a player. I think his last three years are a better indicator of what kind of player he is. I by no means think he's great or a long term answer for our QB position but I do think if he puts up a 95 plus QB rating this year we'll win alot of games and probably make the playoffs. We might win a playoff game too.

You can make all kinds of weird comparisons, Troy Aikman:
4000 yrd passing seasons: ZERO
20 TD seasons: 1
Yards Per Att: 6.9 not overwhelming
Career Compl %: 61
Career Rating: 81.5

Game Manager? Looks alot like Smith and Cassel huh? oh except for the 3 freaking Superbowls! Stats are for losers, turn your blinker off. The Chiefs are turning the page and headed in the right direction for the first time in awhile. Wins, thats what you want. Wins

I bet the Chiefs are under .500 this year.

Primarily because we all know, even you, that Alex Smith is COMPLETELY incapable of elevating the play of those around him.

Clark is the reason behind retread QBs. You know this, right?

He could of played the next game. They chose to rest him, because jim wanted to see what Kaep could do. Then kaep did well, conviniently even though alex smith was cleared by the doctors, Jim decided he didnt want to rush him back, and kaep shined against the saints.

qbs get concussions. Aaron rodgers has gotten a couple. Tom Brady tore his acl, guess hes injury prone too!!!!

Peyton manning missed an entire season!!!! Get the point?

How much money, would you like to wager on that? About the record that is?

If you're a high caliber QB you don't lose your job to injury.

Then he should be proud of the display. Visitors, not so much.

Also: you're new here. You have no currency in terms of your word.

For all intents and purposes you're no different than a troll, so what good is making a bet with you?

Alex Smith has played in 16 games just twice in his entire career.

Sighs. First, Alex Smith is not a high caliber qb. He is an average to slightly above average qb.

Second, yes you do, if your head coaches hand picked qb is ready to play and you were only signed to essentially a one year deal.
