Alex Smith Traded to Chiefs
Well, it looks like the deal is done.
https://twitter.com/intent/user?scre...w_p=tweetembed Jay Glazer @JayGlazer 49ers have completed a trade with the Chiefs for Alex Smith, tho can't be official til March 12. Chiefs really made a commitment to Smith Jay Glazer @JayGlazer Deal has been agreed upon between Chiefs and 49ers. Compensation unclear but I'm told again Chiefs have made a clear commitment to Smith. |

At this point, I have no idea what it's going to take to convince Chiefs management that it's a QB league and you have to spend early picks in the draft on the position, and not try to recycle other team's garbage, to win big. Knowing the Chiefs, they could watch 8 guys go in the top 10 in the draft this year and still worry about "overdrafting" a QB and wasting "value" in the next one. Would love for Dorsey and Reid to prove me wrong on that, though. |

Until Clark Hunt creates a mandate for winning the Super Bowl and mandates that his team be built through the draft, the Chiefs will continue to struggle with mediocrity. The events of today should be no surprise to long time fans. |

But it sure as hell was a massive ice bath dumped on the flickering flames of my hope that MAYBE the org had FINALLY wised up and put some guys in charge who understood you have to take risks to actually have a chance at winning a Super Bowl. |

I still can't believe the hire-ups hitched their wagon to this POS.

This move may or may not be the best option for 2013 but it was most certainly a risky move. |

My buddy forty niner fan was defending this trade up and down saying we got a good deal and Smith is a good quarterback. I bet him a hundred bucks at 10 to 1 that Smith wouldn't win us a playoff game.
He wouldn't do it. |
