Chiefs Alex Smith: The 49ers were completely dysfunctional - Page 4

TigeRRUppeRRcut · 10:33 AM

Something we have never heard him come out and say about his previous organization.

"3 different head coaches, 7 different offensive coordinators, 17 different starting receivers in 7 seasons."

Talks in detail about the huge differences between the culture in San Fran and (implies) how it is in Kansas City.

--
A defining moment for his and Andy's career (which no one realized at the time), is the SNF game where they play host to the Eagles and Andy Reid witnesses the home crowd turn on Alex and cheers for the backup.

That was actually a pretty refreshing interview. I appreciated the intimacy and lack of the bullshit gladhanding typically present in a forced post-game interview.

He said at one point in his career he looked forward to road games to escape the boos of the home crowd. If he hadn't signed a $50 million dollar contract before he played a down I might even feel sorry for the guy.

I wonder what was up with his body language though- the slumped shoulders and staring at the ground for 90% of the interview...

If anyone hasn't watched these yet, here's an actual ordered playlist you can binge.

Nice interview.

Finally had the chance to watch the whole thing. This was a straight up fantastic interview with Alex.

Bensinger opened up the interview by asking Smith if it felt like the 2017 season would be his last year in Kansas City.
"For sure," Smith said. "It absolutely does. Without a doubt."

What? Jim Harbaugh is a ridiculously good coach.

Agreed. Although I still get thrown off by Alex always yelling out "YEAH" in the middle of a question...

Graham phrased the question "You think this has the potential to be..."

Typical Smith being humble and not looking to stir up controversy. Would expect him to be the last person on this team to show any form of entitlement.

Alex knows this is his last year. Might as well try to make it count.

Yea he just made something up to label Smith supporters as complete Harbaugh haters. Harbaugh is undoubtedly a talented coach that can turn any organization around. He's done it at least 4 times now.

The reason things went downhill in San Fran is a messed up front office who couldn't handle Harbaugh's personality (also, Stanford had major issues with him and his very controlling ways), in addition, there were reportedly several players that were going to management saying they didn't trust him. And like Graham stated in one of his videos, many of those Niners vets confided to Alex that it was a sinking ship once the trust was broken.

And yet that's exactly what he was with this statement:

Quote:

Smith would've preferred to see the team use their 2017 first-round pick on someone who could've contributed to the team right away.

"It's a tough pill to swallow," Smith said of seeing Mahomes get drafted. "It's like, man, [we] could've added this or this or this position or this player."

Damn you're stupid Clay. He was being honest in that interview with the reality of the situation but not once did he show any entitlement to this job.

Like why wouldn't he want a elite weapon to be added?
