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. |

Chief fans in general and I would say a majority are happy with the trade. Or at least okay. CP is the only place in full meltdown. Just saying.

That's one poll. Have you looked around the other Chiefs websites, social media? It's pretty clear there is no massive outrage like fire Pioli, bench Cassel.

It took years to get to that point (although I was against Cassel the entire time). To me, lack of extreme vocal outrage is not equivalent to being 'happy'.

I'm not saying the majority are outraged, either. I think it's around the 45/45/10 range. Just reading the comments here (http://espn.go.com/blog/afcwest/post...fs-best-option) is a mixed bag.

Well, once again Chiefsplanet is on the front lines.
It took the rest of the fanbase over 2 years to come around the last time....... |

That's pretty extreme. Do I like the trade? No. Did I like the Cassel trade? No. Did I call for Pioli's head that early? No, and doing that to Dorsey at this time is insane. Lets see how the rest of the offseason goes in regard to free agency and the draft.

Grasping for straws here, but here's a reason for optimism. Alex Smith's yards per attempt the last 5 years, starting in 2007:
4.7 6.3 6.9 7.1 8.0 Definite and consistent improvement in the number that matters the most. |

I originally posted this on 10/10/2010: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showp...7&postcount=86 Looks like he didn't come too cheap, but hey, 4 out of 5 ain't bad... Maybe I should start buying lottery tickets? |

Mike Garafolo@MikeGarafolo @mr_tomahawk @Jacobs71 No, they're done with Foles now that they have Smith. Last edited by Mr_Tomahawk; 02-28-2013 at 08:34 AM.. |
