Alex was a big part of their success and to say otherwise is just hate!

I think it is quite clear Albert is getting traded. If their was a long term deal in the works, he would know it by now. The new regime has put very little to no effort in re-signing him long term. They moved swiftly with Bowe/Colquitt and all of their other moves have been swift with a plan.

This staling by the Chiefs brass is just leverage for trade possibilities in the draft and trying to milk more in a trade with Albert. I know from a personal perspective it sucks for Albert but this is a business move first and foremost... he is just a pawn.

Smith was the QB. He was on the verge of getting his team to the Super Bowl before the team's special teams crapped the bed. That runs counter to your claim. You can split the hairs any way you want, but that's how it happened.

Split hairs? LMAO

You can act like Smith was leading that team all you want. That's not the case.

If we replace Albert with Joeckel, Alex Smith won't even make it to the midway point.

I'm not acting like anything. I'm pointing out that your post was wrong, nothing more.

Point out the "wrong" part.

Did he "take" them to the SB or did he ALMOST "take" them to the SB.

If the answer is "ALMOST" then you are wrong and should stop talking.

That is your opinion but not fact. Others will believe that Joeckel will do more than good his rookie year. He is a very polished prospect.

As much of a part of the 49ers as Trent Dilfer was to the Ravens.

Still was a quality part. Who was the one limiting turnovers to allow the big weapons to succeed?

You know who else was a very polished prospect?

Let's not act like tackles are super safe picks.

Jason Brown, Robert Gallery, Levi Brown, Mike Williams, Kenyatta Walker, and Tony Ugoh all agree with this.

:facepalm:

I'd have just a soon had Matt Flynn for a 5th in 2014

Direckshun,
Problem is nobody wants Geno enough to trade with the Chiefs. They're betting that he will be there when they pick. If I were in thier position, I'd be following the same strategy.

What exactly is it about Albert's style of play that Reid doesn't like?
