What team does Alex Smith play for in 2018?
 

I think now is the time to guess where Alex ends up after a year of Mahomes sitting?

I know it's early, but even he know's he's gone unless he brings a ring.

Will he still be a Chief?
Will Cleveland's inability to land a QB in round 1 this year instigate a trade next year?
Will the Giants find a spot for him as a backup to Eli?
Will he end up back in San Fran?
Will he be traded to the Jets?
I hear Arizona may be in the market for one soon?

There is no way he is allowed to hit the market freely. He will be dealt for compensation.

We all know he will be in the league at least five more years (unless his wife makes him retire).

So who is Alex playing for in 2018?

retires... as well he should.

Maybe as a backup somewhere. Cleveland or something I'm guessing? LOL at the thought of Bruce Arians acquiring Alex Smith. Literally the least likely QB/HC pairing in history

I think he retires.

Let's say the bottom falls out in Washington next year? Or even Buffalo, which we traded to get the Pat-Trick?

I'm still mulling who I think will trade for him.

I see the potential fail of the Brock, Jets are the Jets, or how about Denver even with the question marks they have. :D

No chance barring brainjury :D

I have a feeling the Chiefs will let Alex play out his contract. But I hope mahomes is ready next year and that the Chiefs can position a trade. If the Chiefs get, say, a 3rd round pick, the Chiefs basically traded only a first round pick for mahomes.

And Arians actually makes a lot of sense. Arians has 1 or 2 years left. He's not going to rely on a rookie. And smith's conservative shit isn't much different from Carson Palmers in his noodle arm years. With David Johnson as his workhorse back, Smith would be an OK fit

2018 will be his last year as a Chief.

doubt it.

They won't take the 20.6 mil cap hit in 2018 unless 3 things happen.

1. Mahomes shows slow and underwhelming progress
2. Smith steps up in a big way come playoff time.
3. Smith actually wants to keep playing football.

As long as its not for the Chiefs, i give no ****s.

I would be surprised if he didn't play for the Chiefs the next two years.

I think he will retire..He has been playing scared and has plenty of money.

Alex is playing on a one year deal now. Barring a super bowl appearance. Even then if he is not the catalyst for said fame is still deal-able :D

There should be a poll for this. Reid and Dorsey have Mahomes on a two year developmental plan. But if Smith goes down with an injury in 2018 he should be able to step up. Also, Bray is the #2 this season

How many of Dorsey's first round picks have been 1 year replacement plans?

Alex is ****ing gone before the 3rd day of the 2018 league year.

If they think Mahomes isn't progressing as fast as they hoped they could take all the savings from cutting a piece of shit like Smith and give it all to Brees who is equally at the end of his career but could lead a better offense throwing left handed.

Jacksonville

if you are implying the chiefs would sign brees, that's just stupid. :D

defo a possibility :D

Chiefs

If he's still playing, then hopefully for some very, very shitty team with a terrible O-line that will get him killed.

Option B:

Anywhere but KC.

CHIEFS

he will still need to "mentor" Tyler Bray and Tyler Bray 2.0

I think they can trade him and recoup a pick to soften the blow of losing that first next year

maybe get a 3rd or 4th for him and send him to a team like the Jets or Arizona

Nah, learning how NOT to play the position should only take a season me thinks.

If they can't get a second rounder for him, he will play out his contract and end his time in KC on the bench for the second half of 2019.

There is zero chance of that. It's either a trade or cut in 2018. There is literally an out in his contract after 2017 that will only be 3.6 million against the cap. They just have to cut him by a certain day or the 20 million hit will kick in

A 2nd round pick to pay a QB $1.3M per TD pass. Thanks for the laugh.

Bruce Arians offense is all about taking risks and throwing deep. He regularly uses the phrase "no risk it, no biscuit" as a slogan. Alex Smith is the most risk averse QB I've ever seen. There is less than a zero percent chance that Smith goes to AZ as long as Arians is the coach. And nobody is trading a 2nd round pick for Alex ****ing Smith either.

He will linger on as a Chief and know his roll as the backup to Mahomes II. Andy and Alex have a thing together so Alex will stay as a Chief for mentor-ship roll.

LMAO

Maybe the Bears will sign him. LMAO

At Tiger's moms house.

Alex Smith will be the Chiefs starting QB in 2018. Mahomes is a project QB, and probably will take 2-3 years of coaching up to see the field. The mechanics are terrible and it's hard to fix those in a QB this late in the game.

Good luck.

Wtf?

Guys with poor mechanics have a hard time getting them right after playing that way for a decade sometimes. Muscle memory is a bitch.

Nah you guys aren't giving Mahomes II enough credit. He is a smart kid athletic with talent and is very competitive. He will take over the job this year but will be starter next year.

I don't think it will be too soon but not soon enough when he starts.

Let them go.


There is a LOT of apprehension out there coming from our division rivals.

They know that Mahonnes has a very good shot at working out under Reid and it scares the hell out of them.

Andy Reid has never tried to tweak a QB's mechanics, he talks about it all the time. If the guy wants to throw sideways he lets him. Andy will try to fix his footwork and teach him the playbook, progressions, etc.

Andy always cites Phillip Rivers as a guy with terrible mechanics nobody bothered to fix because it wasn't broke.

He also never bothered to fix Vicks terrible throwing motion either.

Buffalo, not sure why but it just feels right

:hmmm:


Get a 3rd back for next year?

Hopefully playing flag football at the ymca

Broncos

you must be kidding

They should be scared. We've also had Derrick Carr number so he is a less threat to us and is his broken leg going be problematic over the years if he ****s it up any again?

**** the Raiders.

The Jags could make noise with Alex. He's the antidote to the mental shitshow they've had there at QB for a while, and they've been assembling talent outside QB for a good bit as well.

If Dorse pulls the trigger on the trade, he better be damn sure of Mahome's preparedness and he better rape faces on compensation.

My sense is that Alex starts 2 more full seasons with a reneg for cap space pending. But if Alex insists on holding on to his existing payday schedule, Dorse will shop.

He is capable of taking over the job this year and be our starter next year. I don't see it funny or shocking just doable.

Our preseason is going say a lot about how soon he can take under center but the fourth preseason game he should be taking most of the snaps so we will get a good idea then what to expect. I'm expecting explosion offense when he does take over much like TrInt Green but be able to tone it down on the interceptions. Those will put him back on the bench but he can still be ready by next year.

Best case scenario is that Alex Smith rebounds this year and players well enough to make him worth something in trade. Mahomes learns quickly and looks like an Aaron Rodgers clone.

We trade Alex Smith for a 2nd rounder next year and Mahomes takes over the starting job.

I don't think Alex will trade have any trade value with 17 million on his contract, but what do I know.

I assume since he's in the last year of his contract, that any trade would involve a contract restructure/extension that would reduce his cap number dramatically.

He probably has some value but I think the people looking for a 2nd round pick are out of their ****ing minds.

Smith will be about the same age Carson Palmer was when the Raiders traded him to Arizona for a swap of 6th round picks and a conditional 7th.

Maybe you get a team to bite on his "ability to win games" and get a 4th round pick but hes not that much better than Palmer was at the time Arizona traded for him.

Alex is worth zero as he is **it for a qb. Not worth anything to anybody as we have all seen he cant play qb in the NFL. I don't even want he to mentor the kid as he has no talent and will just infect the kids tremendous natural talent. Put the kid in and let him gun sling, its what we all have been asking for since Alex came here. Who cares if we win or lose, it will be exciting!!!

Are you trying to say "shit" spell it out man. Shit is not going hurt any ones feelings here and it is not considered subject to censorship **** It's better spell out the word **** or shit and let it do it's thing ****ing **** shit.

If your gonna cuss then cuss don't be a pussy.

Nice take eat *hitchief, ****ing idiot.

Alex Smith will retire and Andy Reid will find a landing spot for him on the Chiefs coaching staff... "spread game analyst", "bubble screen consultant", take your pick.

Who ****ing cares as long as it's anywhere but here.

If we can get Von Miller to do us a favor, Smith can be a full time starter on the CTE research team for all I care..

Just get the **** of my team.

Smith is healthier at this moment than palmer was but you are right. A 2nd for smith is a joke. And for people pointing to bradford well he is younger than smith that is where his supposed value lies.

Alex will restructure and be a Chief.

Hopefully some where else so is little dick sucking fans go with him.

I hope so. Dont know why people are in a hurry to dump a servicable QB we have our franchise 1st round pick people can stop with the Alex bullshit now.

By restructure do you mean take a ****ing paycut? I'm not paying that dipshit $20 million to be a backup. If he wants $5 million a year.....sure.

Any GM who pays a 35 yesr old QB sans Manning 20 mil should be fired. He wont get 20 mil anywhwre and at that age probably wouldnt get a starting QB gig anywhere either.

retires. Which is the smart decision. Hes not the kind of guy thats going to bounce around the league as a backup to prolong his career another 3-4 years.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers

He goes into the CFL and sets a record for completion %

It's only going to get worse from here, people who spent their time kicking and screaming about Alex in every thread are only going to get louder.

I suspect that Dorsey and Reid's brainpower superiority over the vocal fanbase will continue apace.

Smith deserves more respect than what he's getting on this forum.

He served his purpose. He came in and stabilized the QB position, something that hasn't been done in KC since Trent Green. He produced winning football, albeit un-flashy. He took this team to the playoffs in multiple seasons and now he'll be a good samaritan and hell develop our QBOTF.

Smith was the perfect QB to bridge the gap between a 2-14 Franchise and what we have today. He served a purpose and he served that purpose perfectly.

Now his time has come, he'll step down no later than the end of this season, and hand over the keys to a winning, loaded football team to our young QBOTF.

Smith deserves to pick where he goes next. Wherever he goes next, he'll do the same thing he did here, and the same he did at the end of his watch in SF.

Best case scenario imo is Mahomes spends 2 years as backup.

I'm fine with that. I didn't like the value we gave up or the contract he got....but I'm fine with what he did. I said before the draft that if we took Mahomes....that Smith would have all of 2017 from me and that's what I'll give him.

I agree. Was trying to articulate this post earlier.

I hope he plays well this year. I like the guy

JFC some of the bullshit spewed on this board is just disgusting. Hopefully when it's time for you ignorant ****s on here to "check out" it's as miserable as your ****ing posts.

It will be interesting to see how Smith does. IIRC....he started out the season pretty well right after Kap was drafted. Maybe with Mahomes behind him....Smith will pull his head out of his ass and take more chances.

I'm kinda feelin' this. Only exception to this is if he finds a home with a team that has a reasonable chance at the playoffs - and therefore a chance at a title. I don't seen him playing for a dumpster fire and getting killed for nothing. Not with the multiple concussions he's already had. It's not as if he needs football to keep the money coming in. And he's already proven that he's an effective, qualified QB in the NFL, so the only thing he has left is the ring. He's only playing for a championship at this point, so if the right team isn't there, I think he walks away.

He wasn't taking a bunch of "gun-slinger" type chances though after Kap was drafted. He basically played the way he's been playing for KC. I don't expect him to change much of anything this year. Some folks may not like it, but it's been a successful formula.

Alex Smith will probably still be a Chief. Mahomes needs a lot of work. He probably won't be ready for a year or two.

I have to agree with this. I don't think Alex Smith should change his style at this point in his career. We can win with his current style we simply have to improve in other areas, most notably run D.

Alex Smith can still improve but like Reid said he can improve "the little things." You don't want the guy to try to be something he isn't and start throwing a bunch of INTs that cost us games.

How much did the Chiefs give up for him? You act as if NFL teams are run by members of CP. They are not. The league values Smith far more than people here do. I just see him retiring outright if it is to a crappy team though.

He'll be slinging it to Chad Johnson on the Monterrey Fundidores.

I hope he catches AIDS from a mexican hooker.

This... great post.

If Alex Smith has a season similar to 2015 then we can absolutely get something in trade for him. Don't freak out, I'm not defending him and we already have his replacement. I'm just saying that if he returns to 2015 play we can get something in trade for him.

It won't be the same rape price we paid for him, but it could be something.

65.3%, 3,486 yds, 20TD, 7int, 95.4 rating

He ran for 498yds. He had a lot of key runs for 1st downs that sustained drives.

He also showed glimpses of being aggressive.

Really was a great post, Detox.

I just don't think he wants it enough. At least he doesn't play or look like it.
