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.

The market for backup QBs is what it is. If you want an 'accomplished' backup, you're going to get to spend a fair amount for the privilege.

The days of flipping change from the couch cushions at the Maytag Man are over. Backup QBs cost grown up money now.

The lesson: It's always good to be the quarterback.

Backup QB's are more important than ever due to the new concussion rules that are in place.

True; hadn't considered the mandatory baseline stuff.

And as we have a QB that has had a concussion or two, that's all the more critical.

Daniel was a little more than I'd like to have spent, but ultimately I'm kinda like Lucy in that insurance commercial where she's bitching about the fact that everything doesn't cost 5 cents.

"Chase Daniel should cost 5 cents..."

"EVERYTHING CAN'T COST 5 CENTS!"

Chase Daniel is going to earn his money.

Alex Smith is injury prone as ****.

It's one thing to spend that kind of money on a veteran like Kerry Collins.

It's another thing to spend that kind of money on a guy who has never started a game in the NFL.

Alternative phrasing:

"It's one thing to spend that kind of money on an old guy you know has no ceiling. It's another thing to spend that kind of money on a younger guy with some upside."

I'd take Chase Daniel over Kerry Collins every time, and I'm not even a huge Daniel fan.

If Kerry Collins is your QB, your season is over. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. If Chase Daniel is your QB...well your season is probably still over, but it might not be. He actually has some upside to him that might allow you to be pleasantly surprised.

There's nothing but downside to Kerry Collins. With Chase Daniel, you might go from bad to worse (which is fairly irrelevant), but you could also get a nice QB or perhaps a decent trade chip for your efforts.

The LT is safe pick bullshit needs to end now.

It's not risky at all when you convert him to RT the easy less chance of a bust route.

Um, not really he missed almost 2 years with a serious shoulder injury which was way worse than it needed to be because Nolan made him play with it when he needed surgery, other than that he had another minor shoulder tweak which caused Singletary to let Troy Smith start for a few games until everyone realized he wasn't very good and then he had the concussion where he lost his job to Kaepernick. Other than the major shoulder injury he's been pretty durable.

He's played a full season twice. He's injury prone....reerun.

As much as drafting Geno to backup Alex Smith would have been brilliant, another great move would be to trade the #1 pick to another team whom you feel will be real bad next year, for their 1st round pick this year, their 1st next year and more. This way, if Alex Smith flops this coming season, you hopefully have their high pick and the Chiefs 1st round pick to move up and take one of those supposedly elite QB prospects next year.

If the Chiefs swap with Buffalo, they'd get a Top Ten pick in return next season.

Buffalo is an awful franchise.
