Am I the only one who thinks Alex Smith will be surrounded by better offensive talent in KC than he was in SF?
KC WRs > SF WRs Charles > Gore Chiefs OL > SF OL Chiefs TE < SF TE |

Smith did show, that with a competent organization he can be very successful. He was playing pretty well in 2012 when he got hurt.
The injury problems are the most concerning thing IMO. Notice I say competent there too. As much pub as Harbaugh gets for being a QB guru, his offensive system doesnt' seem to be geared towards putting the load on the QB. IMO, he seems to be a Martyballer in a sense. |

I know this, he has played better for 4 years straight. I liked him in SF the last 2 years BEFORE we got him. Unlike many other who liked him before I am sticking to my guns. He became a pariah as soon as we traded for another SF QB. |

Been down this road so many times with this team that it's really tough for me to get excited about next season or any real sustained sucess with this team past the next 2 years. How many more times does this team expect fans to see yet another vet QB be adequate, win anywhere between 9 & 11 games, go to the playoffs and lose in the first round? Am I supposed to be excited about this prospect and clap like a seal for a fish? ALL RIGHT!! A RT TAKEN FIRST OVERALL!!! Trade away a 2nd round pick that is essentially a 1st round pick given the talent in this years draft? COOL!!! Seriously, this is a team and franchise only George Allen could love.

Crabtree, Manningham, Moss, Williams are as good as Bowe, Avery, Baldwin, and McCluster

The injury history for Smith is the most worrisome, IMO.

And this is not in any way, shape or form about Geno Smith. I never expected the Chiefs to draft him, and I was never upset that they didn't, nor do I care that the guy fell. He's just another name as far as this conversation goes. It's not about him. It's about Alex Smith, and how I believe the present and future of this team at quarterback is being built, and most likely will continue to be built. HE was their draft pick at quarterback. Dorsey has said as much (literally, at the draft party during the first round). And I don't believe that anything would have changed that, including the presence of Andrew Luck, or RG3, or Matt Stafford, or Matt Ryan, or any other player you care to name. Because I don't believe that this franchise is willing, philosophically-speaking, to go that route. Because while I think they might, in ensuing years, pull the trigger on mid- to low-round quarterbacks as developmental prospects, I believe that they want a veteran as a starter, and that precludes the selection of anyone at the position on day 1 and likely even day 2. Just my opinion. Don't think you're stupid if you disagree, and you might be right. I certainly don't work at Arrowhead, so I'm just making a guess. |

Wouldn't it be great if Chase Daniel had to come in a game.

WRs:
KC: Bowe, Baldwin, Avery, McCluster, Hemingway, Copper, Wylie, Bellamy, Gilyard, Newsome, 49ers: Crabtree, Jenkins, Patton, Boldin, Manningham, Wlliams, Lockette, Hastings, Moore, Advantage 49ers. RBs: KC: Charles, Davis, Draughn, Gray, Eachus () 49ers: Gore, James, Hunter, Lattimore, Hampton Charles is a better back but 49ers are incredibly deeper than KC. Advantage 49ers TE: KC: Fasano, Kelce, Brokeaki, Brock 49ers: Davis, McDonald, Celek, Morrah This would be really close if Davis wasn't so mcuh better than any of the TEs on KC's roster. Fasano, Kelce, Moeaki (if he can stay healthy) is a pretty deep but not very sexy group on paper. Still, advantage 49ers |

Yes I understand that. But moving in a positive direction is better than the last regime. I don't get into player arguments much because my opinion is no better than any other fan.
But there is no proof that Geno Smith is better than Alex Smith if they played under the same circumstances. None. So the new front office weighs that and decides they want to first build an OL so whatever QB they plug in has the best chance of success. I don't have a problem with that. |
