San Fran 49ers Trade QB Alex Smith to KC

[KYPack]

The Vikings take some of the amazing out of it, but yeah.

Don't forget those sorry-ass Bills.

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!!

In case you were referring to me and not Patler, I didn't say it's not legit news. Just that it's boring news with little impact, if any, on the Packers. A mediocre QB being traded to a mediocre AFC team for a draft pick doesn't give me quite the sense of arousal it once did, I guess.

Had to be you he was referring to. "Young" would never apply to me, even in comparison to Woody!

Jim Harbaugh Announces Alex Smith Trade To Chiefs While Wearing Bandit’s Mask

You folks who haven't been to profootballmock.com should check it out. The QB facebook stuff is especially well done.

I would give you reputation, but it says I have to give it to someone else first. Nice socialist system we've got here.

Well, this impacts GB as far as the playoff race and seeding, but that's about it. They still gotta play the games, and IIRC the 49ers were lucky injury-wise last year.

I think SF has to trade some of those draft picks. They aren't going to draft 15 new players and expect them to make that team, and they can't stash them all on the PS. I bet the Jets would love to trade Revis for picks, especially if they need cap space. What if TT traded down with SF to get additional picks? There's supposed to be good DL and OL depth in this draft.

I think Alex Smith is better than Matt Cassel, but not by a lot. KC's OL and skill players aren't as good as SF's, but KC should win a few more games this year.
Teams overpay for QBs and this is no different.

I'd be happy with this deal if I were a SF fan, somewhat less so for KC, but this year's QB draft class sounds bad.

[hoosier]

Steve DeBerg, Joe Montana, Steve Bono, Elvis Grbac, and now Alex Smith. Nothing new under the sun.

I didn't realize that KC had a farm system for QBs that included SF!

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.

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.

I see what you mean.

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

Need to chill on the politics BS, por favor. I have it set up so that someone has to earn their rep, good over bad, over time.

[red]

thats a lot to give up for a bust

he's never thrown for more than 18 td's in a season. he's not a qb that is gonna win you games, he's a JAG imo

2 stupid qb moves in a row for KC, new people in change, same shitty moves

[Patler]

I wonder if the "similar pick next year" is contingent on playing time, performance etc. Lots of times those end up being 7th round picks, or nothing at all, even when at the time of the deal it is made to sound like a high round certainty..
