The 49ers have expressed to others that a deal for QB Alex Smith is effectively complete. Can't be finalized til league year begins 3/12

Jason La Canfora ‏@JasonLaCanfora

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

@mr_tomahawk I can report something all the follower retweet it and it is treated as gospel. A lot can happen between now & March 12th.

Bill Polian told @davestewsports & I at the combine yesterday that Andy Reid is one of the best in the league at developing QBs.

If they have to have Bowe that badly, and are willing to sign Smith just to keep him around. Why not just give Bowe some of the money it's going to cost to sign Smith and not bother with bringing in someone they don't really want?

Were you told anything about Geno Smith? Or anything about the #1 pick?

I talked to a lot of people around the league. They are excited for KC & what the tandem with do here with not only the QB but culture.

Because the Chiefs don't want to pay him like a top 5 tackle. That's why.

They are comfortable negotiating at a set price now but if he hits FA, they are comfortable letting the market set a price.

I'm just going by what I'm told.

This is the 3rd consecutive year Alex Smith was available.

In a league where 1/3 of the teams need a QB, and another 1/3 of the teams would probably like to upgrade the position, Alex Smith hits the market 3 years in a row.

Last week it was just that they weren't impressed with any of them.

I don't know if that's changed or not.

If we trade for Smith, who do you think we take at #1? I'm just assuming we won't be taking Geno...can't fathom Joeckel. Hope we just reach and take Patterson.

I honestly don't know.

I don't think Joekel is a slam dunk though.

Reid must be using some of his son's drugs then

It has to be a trade back, even if the "value" doesn't add up.

Even if they don't re-sign Albert, there will be several competent left tackles on the market. Spending the #1 overall on a tackle would be a waste.

Other than that, a trade back would allow them to target WR and TE, two areas that are sorely lacking, with their first two or three picks.

If they get Alex Smith and draft Joeckel, the culture hasn't changed. So people need to stop trying to get us to buy into that line of bullshit.

Remember when Dorsey said there is no clear cut qb. He meant that he would be getting a veteran qb in Alex Smith. Now Tj Carpenter of 810 sports is saying reid really really likes Geno. Put two and two together.

Stands to reason that he will be the Chiefs starter then.
