The 49ers have expressed to others that a deal for QB Alex Smith is effectively complete. Can't be finalized til league year begins 3/12

so it's not official, both clubs view it at as it's effectively done. I do not know the other team. KC and JAX are 2 teams that make sense

I understand that's what fans don't want but it wins you games. This idea that a game manager QB is bad makes no sense. That's what a QB supposed to do.

Random hate doesn't bother me.

Andy Reid can eat the biggest shit sandwich that John Dorsey can bring him

See the bolded part. I fixed your post.

Then take your outdated, 1995 thinking and GFY. Chiefs fans don't give a flying flip about being "good enough" to win 9-11 games UNLESS it has the potential to turn into a Super Bowl appearance.

With a game manager at QB, in today's NFL, it doesn't.

This franchise can really suck the hope out of a person.

I almost feel bad for this kid. He has no idea what kind of jaded, hate-filled fan base he's about to walk into.

If this is true, I am instantly done with this front office. They will have to win me back. And the Chiefs will have to win playoff games BECAUSE of Matt Cassel (I mean, Trent Green, err... Elvis Grbac... umm, Steve Bono, oops, Steve DeBerg) before I care again.

The only saving grace at this point is IF they draft Geno Smith 1:1. Only thing that changes my mind (well, maybe Barkley. But that's it).

That's the problem --- a front office that would make this deal is incapable of making the decisions to win you back. They're incompetent, right from the jump. There's no wait and see. This is ludicrous. There's a reason the 9ers jumped at the deal long before they had to commit. They knew they'd fleeced us, and wanted to sign up before Dorsey/Reid stopped sniffing glue.

My anger hasn't even set in yet. I don't think it ever will.

I think i've officially run out of ****s to give.

Alex smith has thrown for over 500 yards and 5 tds and 0 interceptions in his two playoff games.

Don't blame you in the least. If I had a connection to another franchise, I'd be out the door in a heartbeat.
