Did you really need Scott Pioli to tell you something we already knew?

No matter, Niners are pretenders and their coach is a poser.

For everyone bashing this deal for the chiefs, I would love to hear your brilliant ideas on what else the chiefs should do for next year. Did you watch them last year? QB play absolutely killed them. Just killed them. While Smith is nothing more than a solid game manager, that will be a remarkable step up for them that will allow them to be competitive. If not Smith, who else? The great Matt Flynn? If they reached for a weak QB in the draft instead of taking an all-world left tackle, most here bashing them for the Smith deal would also be crushing them for the draft. A bit of an over-payment for Smith to be sure, but that is the nature of QB in the NFL.

Chiefs … don’t do it. Be patient. The 49ers will release Smith and you can sign him then. Save your draft choices.

I don’t exactly consider Scott Pioli the most objective observer when it comes to the Chiefs, after the incredibly lousy (though self-impressed) job he did there.

Andy Reid always knew when someone was done and it was time for him to leave Philly, even if the person leaving wasn’t quite aware he was done. So Andy now had Andy leave Philly. The terms of the Smith trade tell you why. Not to mention that Smith will never be able to play in a Reid offense. Feel sorry for the KC fans. They’ve heard this song before.

Smith is such a wild card. Although I think reid is a good QB coach smith wasn’t good until he played for harbaugh.
I now think the chiefs might be able to give denver a little trouble but denver will probably still win the division

Coach killer?

True or False: Nolan and Singletary were forced to start Smith against their will and have since gone on to have great head coaching careers elsewhere.

BTW, this deal can’t be finalized for two more weeks, but they’ve already agreed on a trade that will happen that day. My guess is that they might be looking to swap some picks to make the trade a little better for both sides.

Scott is still trying to squeeze an extra pick out of the 49ers. The Chiefs meanwhile have no idea what is holding the deal up.

smith as a coach killer??? hate to correct you, but ever 49ers coach since seifert lost their job by themselves. singletary lost it because he cant distinguish an x from an o.

Pioli doesn’t want this trade to work. He still thinks his trade for Cassel and his 63 million is the bees knees.

Basically, the Chiefs want a late round pick – which the 49ers have multiple picks in the 5th, 6th, and 7th rounds – and may be haggling over the 2014 conditional terms (15 TDs vs. 12 TDs, 12 starts vs. 8 starts).

Sounds like massaging of the details rather than a hurdle.

Perhaps Scott Pioli can do his former employer a large favor by swooping in and nixing this deal.

Why does Pioli have a say in this?

Chiefs get ready for Captain Checkdown! Alex Smith.

One of the worst trade in KC history! two, 2nd round picks for a guy whos reputation is a game manager and coach killer.

I hope he does the same with Reid if this trade does go down.

It’s a little surprising that Pioli still has “good sources” in KC who are willing to talk to him. All the reports are that he left a lot of burning bridges behind him when they gave him the boot.
