Smith will be good there assuming their run game holds up. But if Andy tries the 70-30/60-40 it’ll bomb

Alex Smith has been traded to KC.

Alex would be a good fit in KC, and the chiefs are only a QB away from being a contender in that division..

Best plan is to franchise Bowe, deal a 3rd for Smith, draft Joeckel #1. Tell Albert that he can take a hike. Since his rookie deal was under the old CBA, KC may actually save money by letting him walk and drafting LJ.

I’d love to have Albert stay and be happy as a guard but I like having Bowe more.

Poor Chief’s fans, even if u get Alex Smith, u still dont have a QB, and if u pick Geno Smith u still dont have a QB, 8.5 million for Smith is crazy, just gamble wth G.Smith n go the young cheaper route cause yr not making playoffs anytime soon

If I were Alex, I would consider it a gift to play for Andy Reid after suffering through Singletary and Harbaugh. @footballady52 🏈

I hope Andy Reid and the Chiefs make the right decisions and go on to win a Super Bowl in the next couple of years.

Chiefs draft Joeckel then trade for Alex Smith then later rounds draft Tyler Bray he has the arm strength and accuracy and is way underrated then people think let him learn from Alex Smith. People are saying draft Genome or EJ both will be mediocre qbs Tyler has and will go on to have the better career.

Kansas City has a great running game and a defense that will only get better as it matures. What they need is a QB who is going to take care of the football and let those elements of strength be effective. Alex Smith is that guy.

And Andy Reid has been successful with that kind of quarterback before. Besides McNabb, the best QB on the Eagles during Reid’s tenure was Jeff Garcia, and I think there are quite a few similarities there.

If we do this, we deserve 30 more years of no championships.

Yeah, lets trade for a QB who in his career has been benched 4 times for Kaepernick, Dilfer, Shaun Hill, and JT O’Sullivan.

The guy who despite starting 13 more games, has comparable stats to Matt Cassel.

And yes, let’s draft a left tackle when we have a left tackle who allows only 1 more sack a year and less than one penalty more a year than Joe Thomas.

God that would be a stupid decision.

For those who think that Alex makes to much to keep do a little homework. Alex’s 8.5 + Kap’s .8 = less
Than almost every starter’s salary in the NFL. While they could trade him if they want a good vet to back him up they’ll still have to pay him at least 5-6 million a year. For those of you that thinks the Niners should just give him away you haven’t been paying attention to how Harbaugh and Balke do business.

Yes but Alex Smith has more ints and fumbles than Cassell. Chiefs have not won a game with a qb we have drafted in over 30 years and havnt won a playoff game in over 20 years. Alex Smith is not the answer. Retreads suck here and were tired of it.

49ers won’t release him, they will trade him. More than 1 team is interested so if the Chiefs want him..better pull the trigger

I say a no brainer in Drafting Joeckle number 1. They could then give SF whatever pick SF would ask for. I bet Alex leaves in two years.

KC would be a good fit for Alex actually, an above average to pretty good defense and a great RB

Sorry chief fans the raiders will pick geno smith .go raiders

Everybody in the Chiefs Kingdom wants Geno as there qb bad. Clark Hunt refuses to sit throuhh another year like that. Alex smith is a Cassell 2.0. The chiefs will get what the fans want in Geno Smith. If we re sign Albert we know for a fact Geno will be the #1 pick.

the raiders want to give the niners a 1st and a 2nd round pick this year hahaha!

Interesting. Obvious the Chiefs need to look at another option for QB because Cassel isnt working out there- maybe hed be good under another scheme coach, whatever- but it ain’t happenin’ in KC for him. Brady Quinn is of course not a realistic option. The big question I would have though is can you trust Smith? KC is bad, I mean real bad. I think Andy Reid will be able to turn them around, but let’s look at Smith. Several coaches with no talent around him in SF and he was nothing to write home about. Then, when he got some talent he still was nothing special til Harbaugh became part of the picture. Harbaugh strikes me as a guy who has a way with getting the best out of his QB’s- and I wonder if Reid could do that with Smith. Although if your KC, I suppose you can’t go anywhere but up at this point, so it’s a risk they may very well be willing (and for lack of options, have to) take.

Alex Smith & #1 for Revis & Tebow.

Pretty much have to discount everything you hear these days. But Smith & Joeckel would be a good start to turning the Chefs around. 49ers don’t even need a pick this year, so buy now pay later is an option. Say a 2nd in 2014.

I’m an Eagles fan and I know Andy Reid very well. I think he really wants Nick Foles as his QB and Reid and the Chiefs are sending out a smoke screen in their interest in Joeckel, who happens to be number one on the Eagles list. So to insure the Eagles get him I really see a trade involving Foles and the Chiefs for a mid pick and flip flopping their number 1′s. Eagles would then draft Joeckel with the top pick and the Chiefs would still probably get their man with the 4th pick. Who I personally think will be Geno Smith.
Now that significantly upgrades KC’s major weakness which is QB. Then I would re sign Albert

I remember when I was a kid, and my when unmoving 49er fandom was compromised when Joe Montana signed with the Chiefs. For the first time, I had an AFC team to cheer for.

Sounds like the second time may be near.

1st Round Pick: Joeckel
2nd Round Pick: Traded to 49ers for Alex Smith

The team would be immediately improved, and they’d certainly have my attention.

Since it’s likely that the 49ers might not get more than a 2nd or 3rd rounder for Smith, how about they trade him, their first round pick along with maybe a later round pick to the Chiefs for Dwayne Bowe? Not sure if the Chiefs will franchise Bowe though.

By: penbook2

Ian Rappoport also reported that Kirk Ferentz was going to to be the new chiefs head coach and also that the chiefs will keep Scott Pioli.

The Chiefs should just wait it out. Smith makes too much money for the 49ers to hang onto him as a backup. hairbough has thrown Smith under the bus and I’m sure he’s anxious to leave in order to start somewhere else. The 49ers will end up releasing him.

The 49′ers not doing anything with Alex Smith let the man go he can continual his career. Alex Smith will be happy with the Chiefs, make that money Alex Smith go far it this is 2013.

I can live with that. They still need to draft a QB later. I like EJ Manuel in round 3. He’s raw, but has ALL of the physical attributes….and he’s a winner.

If my chiefs let albert walk and draft Joeckel, that means he is worth 2 first rounders cuz that’s what albert was and they would be giving him up for joeckel in addition to wasting the first overall pick in away that leaves all the best playmakers on the board for the teams that get the best media coverage to keep the most exciting players away from the chiefs so they can play for teams on the coast. if luck or griffin were in this draft I bet they would pull an eli manning and refuse to play for the chiefs if they drafted him.
