If they make a concerted effort to go downfield I will be shocked but very happy. That is what I want to see. I want to see the underneath patterns actually resulting with room to run. I see so many teams have guys coming across the middle with no one near because the defense is stepping backwards before the snap instead of forward towards the line of scrimmage.

Hello Chiefs' fans....I'm from the 49ers forum and NOT A TROLL. I am simply here to give you some heads up about Alex Smith. I have been a 49ers fan since 1980 and so I have no time for childish stuffs.

I really admired Alex Smith and am a bit known in our boards as an Alex homer. I am a staunch West Coast Offense supporter, big Bill Walsh supporter and of course now Jim Harbaugh supporter.

I also like Coach Andy Reid for being a Holmgren disciple and a WCO proponent and in this light you have reasons to be optimistic with Alex Smith. Alex Smith was subjected under unfair conditions with Coach Noland and Singletary both whom are responsible for the 49ers' demise for the last 8 years while in SF. Both have no clue how to coach, let alone both have no clue in any inclination in offense whatsoever.

Both also didn't support Alex Smith with an OC (remember he went through 7 years with different OCs everytime!) who can't really create any kind of momentum...bad offensive line and all.

And so with Andy Reid at the helm he would know how to use Alex Smith. He's gotten polished a bit under Jim Harbaugh in terminology and short/medium passing. So don't be panicking. He is stable and doesn't turn the ball over within the WCO.

He will be patient, and will get sack at most if there's no open "receivers". And thus the main key is the O-line, the running game and the playcalling to get him going. I will not BS you guys. He is a heady competitor and very efficient in the WCO.

Just don't expect anything spectacular. What he can give you is consistency and remember what he did against The Saints in the NFCCG last year? Well he was consistent and he loves the TE position (so sexual puns...bwahaha).

And so that's my 2 cents and wishing you guys luck.

That's alright....most people have made up their minds (doesn't matter what team). That's why there's always people who will surprised later. As of our team, though glad that we moved on it isn't without gratefulness of what Alex brought to the niners.

He is the classiest, most loyal, and persevering players I've ever seen. And he isn't a slouch on capability either. Just wishing him the very best and the Chiefs would be surprised later on. Andy Reid ain't no slouch either and he would know how to use Alex.

You're the niner troll with your patronizing statements trying to convince us that we've got a really good QB, when in reality, you're the one that has the potential for a great QB. In 10 games Kaepernick has developed into a better QB than Alex D. Smith has in six years. Think about that. Quit trying to be our big brother, telling us that everything is going to be OK, and just go back to your board and enjoy your franchise QB. You have no roll to play here.

Nope, he is a Alex Smith fan. He denounced being a Niner fan over Alex ****ing Smith. That should tell you all about him. That would be like one of us becoming a Ravens fan because they signed Grbac.

Hey, first, im not a troll, second, how do you THInk that kaep developed so fast? And its what i have been trying to tell people like you. Dont worry. im very good at this game. Two years ago, when jim took over, i made a bet with the 49ers board that alex would have over a 87 rating, took bets, losers had to leave. i was the only one to take the over. You want me gone? Fine, here you go. Ill make this the ABA bet here, (anybody but alex).

If alex smith doesnt get the chiefs to the playoffs, ill leave this board forever.....

If he does, you put me in your sig as your daddy for a year.

There is absolutely no way anyone can make such a far-reaching judgment on any of these QBs that it rules them out in favor of Alex Smith.

You're basically saying there isn't a single game manager who's good at dumping the ball off in this draft.

Riiiiight. If that was so easy, why get rid of Cassel?

There's no shortage of reasons to get rid of him.

The trouble is you can apply most of that logic to Smith, too.

tk13 · 02-28-2013, 11:25 PM

The funny thing is, if this was the Eagles, I'd actually feel pretty confident Smith would have some success. We have yet to see if Reid can carry that magic over though. This franchise is cursed that way. Reid got solid performances out of McNabb. Dragged an over the hill 95 year old Jeff Garcia into the playoffs, and almost to the conference championship game... and took a guy who'd been in prison and hadn't started for 4 years to his best passing season, by far... and into the playoffs.

Cmd'r&Chief · 02-28-2013, 11:28 PM

The fact of the matter is, if Alex Smith fails, there will likely be a riot. But if he does end up doing well every single fan will become a die hard supporter.

There are just as many stories of moderate QB's being successful with another team, as there are Failed hand-me downs that have done nothing but disappoint.

What we need to do is exactly as every one on the team is going to do, and that's support our QB. Talk shit after he fails(if he fails). Because do we want him to fail? Ask yourselves that. Do you want Alex Smith to fail, and be a complete bust? Any honest, realistic Chiefs fan would obviously say no. Alex Smith is your QB, whether you want him to be or not. So why not be supportive and encourage our team to do well. Leave the shit talking til after he screws everything up.
