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. |

Oakland - 15-0 Quinn 1 INT, No TDS, 54 QB rating Oakland first game 26-16 - Quinn 1 INT 16.7 QB rating, Cassel 1 INT, 1 Fumble lost. Pittsburgh - Cassel 11 for 26, 1 INT in OT, no touchdowns Denver first game - 17-9 loss, Quinn 50 QB rating, 1 INT Baltimore - 9-6 loss, Cassel 4 turnovers, fumble on the goal line. The defense played well in all those games but couldn't overcome the shitty QB play. |

I think the defense we play next year will really make this a much better unit. The defense last year was hung out to dry a lot. It got roasted because the schemes at times didn't match the talent we have and how aggressive they can play. |

However, giving up a 2nd is too much and Smith isn't good enough to justify passing on something potentially better in Geno. I'm able to compartmentalize the player from what it means. Alex Smith doesn't suck and we'll be a solid team with him under center. I'd certainly like to be significantly better than solid and I hope Reid agrees with me. |

Just that they let Winston go because they don't feel that Jeff Allen is suited for LG and they think he could hang at RT.
They'll bring someone in for the line, but didn't get a name of who they were targeting. Another factor with Winston is he's a big mouth in the NFLPA and did rub people the wrong way in the organization. |

Hopefully they go after someone like Andy Levitre or Donald Thomas to fill in that LG spot. |

But the highlighted part is the Story of Smith's career. We've had a great D for years, stifled by shitty QB play. It finally took Harbaugh to make him mediocre and we started winning. |
