San Fran 49ers Trade QB Alex Smith to KC

Nah you still get aroused without artifical stimulation, unlike SkinnyB.

SHHHHH,.....you'll get the perverts around here talking, wondering how you would know!

Andy Reid is a fat moron. If Smith was a top 12 starter in this league I could see giving up 2 2nd round picks, I could see one, but two? They could have drafted two decent offensive linemen in the second round and actually put together a respectable front line. Smith isn't Mobil enough, or good enough in the pocket to play in front of a poor line.

Might be. But Reid might be the one guy who could salvage it. His track record in QB trades is pretty favorable (see Cardinals and Dolphins). Though, to be fair, he is usually selling the beater.

You know what Woody is a crazy old fuck but you are being a young little bitch. How is it not legit news? I saw this thread and immediately commented about the trade to 49ers fans. They of course are already taking this as a sign they are going back to the big game. Fuck them!!

Friend, your white beard sweeps the ground.
Why do you stand, expectant?
Do you hope to see it;
In one of your withered days?
With your old eyes
Do you hope to see
The triumphal march of Justice?
Do not wait, friend!
Take your white beard
And your old eyes
To more tender lands.

The sort of interesting thing to me is that this leaves SF without a "quality" backup, at least as far as I can tell. I wonder if their fans will be wailing about "what happens when Kaepernick goes down".

I'm familiar with that feeling.

There is that aspect. Likely they are going to have to draft a QB that ran a similar offense in college. Kap runs one of those read options and gets creamed and sprains a knee, you can't have the backup coming in to run a completely different offense. There's not a FA QB that can come in and run that type of offense so I'd expect the backup would have to be a rookie.

If "similar" means another second, then hasn't KC now spent 4 second round picks on someone else's leftovers, between Cassell and Smith?
