I remember when almost everyone here wanted no part of Alex Smith

Alex Smith is just full of positive mojo for this team!!!




If Alex Smith is brought in here and fans are happy about it, this organization/truefan base have got to be the stupid mother****ers of all time.

start, then draft mid round developmental QB to back up.

Sheer stupity, IMO.

The Chiefs are like a guy that have been living on Top Ramen for years.
They are being taken out to dinner by their assosiates and been given their choice of restaurants.

You are suggesting McDonalds.

God **** that would be beyond stupid.

Is it really that far fetched?

It's a nightmare scenario for me because I hate Alex Smith, but to discredit these reports is ridiculous.

Always good policy to acquire a 29-year-old QB who cannot and will not be effective enough to win a SB.

**** Alex Smith and **** anybody that wants him here.

Why does the national media always think it's better for the Chiefs to grab a free agent qb than the draft?

Because it's all the Chiefs have EVER done.

I guess so. It's really the only reason that makes sense. For other teams we get "don't have a QB, have to draft one early" but for the Chiefs its "don't have a qb, need a mediocre game manager in free agency".

None of the other 3 were given a second contract by the team that drafted them.

Mario Williams (Passed on Cutler)
Courtney Brown (Chad Pennington)
Jake Long (Matt Ryan)...they haven't re-signed him yet.

Would you guys not feel the same if they were to go out and trade for Alex Smith and draft Star at 1?

**** Alex Cassel Smith and the pathetic little polished turd wagon he came in on.

Alex Smith will be exposed just like Cassel, Kolb, and to a lesser extent Matt Flynn. I just hope we aren't the team that shows it.

However, that's it.

Mentally, he's the same. You pressure him and it's over.

Shortage of Alex Smith interest around league isn't surprising. Was FA last yr and only 49ers & Fins took him seriously. Borderline starter.

So they are wanting a pick or two for him, with his interest low, I can't imagine doing that.

I don't see them trading from him and drafting a guy. They could I guess, but I don't see it.


I had actually somewhat talked myself into like Foles. I just can't get on board with Alex Smith.

Originally Posted by mcaj22

i also talked myself into the Foles scenario to completely try and brainwash myself that anything involving Alex Smith would NOT happen. Because I hate Alex Smith

Originally Posted by mcaj22

which is why id rather Foles if they dont want to draft a QB for whatever their reasons are.

so its a wishlist

1. Draft a QB 1 overall
dont do that?
okay

2. trade for Foles and draft a QB in the mid-later rounds
dont do that?









poop in mouth










big gap

3. Alex Smith, Kevin Kolb, Some crap shit veteran QB that will get us nowhere.

great

Originally Posted by O.city

Yep. It's pretty disheartening.

Originally Posted by penbook

We better not trade for Alex Smith. If we don't take a qb #1. I would trade for Flynn and draft Manuel

Originally Posted by The Bad Guy

If Smith does come here, I absolutely think they are still going to take a QB in the 2nd or 3rd round.

Originally Posted by O.city

They should, dunno if they will or not.

What are your thoughts on A Smith?

Originally Posted by The Bad Guy

I hate him pretty much.

The only cause for hope I would have is that the guy really played well last year before he got hurt, and that he'd be coming here with an offensive staff that can coach up QBs.

If they took a QB early in the draft and had him, I would let it play out, but I'm not happy about another retread ultimately.

I think someone like Tyler Bray would be the ultimate risk/reward guy to pair with Smith.

Originally Posted by The Bad Guy

See, I don't agree that all rookies drafted high are basically NFL ready at QB. I think they are getting thrown to the fire quicker, but I see nothing wrong with a guy sitting a year or 2 to really develop.

I think that the QBs that have come out lately have spoiled everyone.

I think if they got the Alex Smith that was in SF last year they'd win a lot. I think this defense is going to be a bear to deal with next year. I think the attacking one gap defense is a perfect fit for Poe and we will see true playmakers shine in it.

70% completion, 13/5 TD ratio in basically 9 1/4th games isn't horrendous. That's basically a 23/10 ratio over the course of a season.

Smith is still only 28, so that's another plus.

I'm just trying to find the editable parts of this shit sandwich.

Originally Posted by O.city

Problem with a year or 2 developing is, he's prob going to get 2-3 years after that. So you won't know one way or another until about 3-4 years what you've got.

Plus, I'm a believer that even with sitting, he's still going to have a learning period after that and I'd rather him just learn in the fire.

And if you think the defense will be a bear, woudln't it make more sense to let your rookie QB lean on them early and our running game to get his feet wet?

****, I just don't think I have it in me for another retread. I said it last night about FOles, say it again here. This is just too damn familiar and I feel pretty ****ing dirty even entertaining the idea.

Yeah, his last year wasn't horrendous, neither was 2011. Neither was Matt Cassel's 2010 or 08.

Originally Posted by O.city

I'd rather shoot for greatness at the QB spot and fail, than settle for just good enough or mediocrity.

But my job isn't on the line.

Originally Posted by htismaqe

Who cares? Cassel's best season was better than Alex Smith's best season.

That's all that matters. The guy is dogshit and we're supposed to eat it and act like it tastes good?

**** that.

And **** the Chiefs if they're even considering this.

so it's not official, both clubs view it at as it's effectively done. I do not know the other team. KC and JAX are 2 teams that make sense

Another regime, another trade for another backup QB.

This can't be real life. Hope it's Jax.
