Its all they know. The fanbase HATES good quarterbacks because whenever they see them, they are always on the other team. |

It's not a working definition in sports, and you know that. And adequate never equates to good enough for anyone shooting above mediocrity.

I'd expect to really not have the same enthusiasm for following the Chiefs after being a lifelong fan and avid watcher since I was 7.
Will I follow another team? Highly unlikely. But if we get another teams leftovers AGAIN, I'll be less than enthused. I want Geno Smith. I want to take a flyer at picking our own guy. Even if he turns out to be a bust I'll be happy, because in this day and age with the rookie salary cap, you don't have to worry about murdering your salary cap and being screwed for years if you take a chance on a guy in the top of the 1st. If he works, great, if not, then chances are you'll have a top pick and give it another chance in getting your franchise QB - which is a must in the NFL these days.

Anyone comparing Alex Smith to Matt Cassel is an idiot.

My expectations are for him to kill the whole front office to live up to the trade.

Why?
Will Alex Smith be more productive than Matt Cassel? It would hard not to be. Will Alex Smith ultimately lead the Chiefs to the same place Cassel did... i.e. not a Super Bowl win? Most likely. If the 49ers couldn't win a Super Bowl (or even get to a Super Bowl) with Alex Smith as their starter, why do you think the Chiefs would be able to? |

Alex Smith was 19-5-1over the last 2 years not including playoffs. I'm sure most Chiefs fans would love to have that as our record.
His team was 1 game away from the Superbowl in 2011 but lost to who?? The Giants. The same team who beat GB, Atlanta, and NE. The G-men played out of their minds that year, beat a lot of great teams. No shame in losing there. The thing with Smith is he isn't flashy, or dynamic like Kapernick. His stats aren't gonna win you any fantasy football championship like Rodgers or Brees. He reminds me more of Flacco. Quiet, reserved, wins games. If we draft a QB in addition to Smith, I can live with him as our QB for the time being as long as we didn't give up too much in the trade. |

ASmith will be just good enough to keep us from a real shot at drafting a top QB prospect, but never good enough to be a real threat in the playoffs.

I think we all need to relax and have some patience. This is the NFL bullshit season.
