Deal has been agreed upon between Chiefs and 49ers. Compensation unclear but I'm told again Chiefs have made a clear commitment to Smith.

By the way, i still dont care.

I'm a Psych major too and out of curiosity.....how is that going for you?

I attained my degree at a private college in 2007, worked in the field for 5 years and am now back in school pursuing an RN at a community college because it became quite clear to me that I'd never pay off my student loans in that field and/or equipped with a Psych degree.

Declaring that major was one of my biggest life mistakes ever...and I've made some doozies. For 5 years (immediately after attaining my degree) I was an SC and Internal Business Auditor for an entire region at a mental health provider...and still wasn't making jack for $ to make all ends meet. Now...I'm in nursing school and delivering pizzas at Pizza Hut. How bout that shit?!

Hope things have worked out better for you.....

Alex Smith's talent was manifested more than 1.5 seasons ago. Regardless of the temptation to say his previous years were just him being bad you also have to digest the circumstances of dis-functional ownership, coaches and injury. He gets much fairer assessments from people who make a living at this stuff over the bitter fan. When he starts in preseason I'll be watching and cheering for him and everybody on the Chiefs.

Good things are coming. Can't wait!

lol, yeah, i did the same. I got a psych major with a religion and philo minor from a liberal arts college, and then shortly after joined the military.

I am now starting school again in the fall to pursue a job in accounting lol.

I think a ref jumped in the stands after the Rivers' fumble.

I see him....

My end game is this, Axl will be exactly what we expected but didnt get out of cassel, a solid manager capable of keeping you in games, i hate to use an overworked term... but he reeeally is the 2.0 cassel imo.

The upgrade who still has many of the same physical limits, but is atleast a full notch more cerebral and natural in his game, the kind of stuff that doesnt always show up in stats... 9, 10, 11 regular season wins on solid overall teams.

I'm just trying to look at it the way i believe this new regime really looks at it... a stepping stone, a building block meant to get things off on the right track, who does in no way preclude the search for THE guy, Dorsey/Reid whatever you think of them arent completely nuts, just cant be... too much experience, they'll always be looking to upgrade, i'm 100% sold on that idea.

Smith is a step in the right direction, nothing less and nothing more... who knows what the future holds, but i like the immediate prospects for improvement right now.

I concur.

Pretty much, or at least you would like to think so. Still, lots of opportunities for quality hating, with Smith right at the top of the list!

Michael Crabtree says Colin Kaepernick “trusted him more”

Wide receiver Michael Crabtree finally experienced the breakout season last year the San Francisco 49ers had been waiting for after taking him in the first round of the 2009 NFL draft.

Crabtree posted his first 1,000 yard season catching 85 passes for 1,105 yards and nine touchdowns for the 49ers. However, it was the second half of the year, with Colin Kaepernick serving as the quarterback, when Crabtree became a consistent threat for the 49ers. In 10 starts including the postseason with Kaepernick under center, Crabtree caught 61 passes for 880 yards and eight touchdowns.

Crabtree said Tuesday on the NFL Network he felt a better connection with Kaepernick than former 49ers starter Alex Smith.

“I think he trusted me more. Playing wide receiver, you need a quarterback who trusts you. I feel like he trusted me,” Crabtree said, via Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com.

Crabtree didn’t want to throw Smith under the bus as he avoided saying he didn’t have the same trust factor with him as he does with Kaepernick.

“I don’t want a controversy,” Crabtree said.

But the message was pretty clear anyway. With Smith now in Kansas City, Crabtree will have a full offseason to continue to develop that trust factor with Kaepernick as the 49ers try to defend their NFC Championship crown next season.

Colin Kaepernick is more talented than Alex Smith.

Wow, without this article, I'd have never known.

[mcaj22]

yea cause thats what I want, a gunshy noodle arm QB that will check off Bowe and throw to Fasano or a HB flat instead because of his inability to put it in a window

or worse, just take the sack.


i cant wait
