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. |

22.4 minutes after birth little Hayes spit out his binkie and after the nurse cupped it, pulled it in, and held it that became the longest completion in family history...

With how careless Cassel is with the football, Smith is a clear upgrade on that alone.

You hit it on the head though. He isnt going to turn the ball over, and that in itself will help you win games. 38 turnovers by your qbs last year, KILLED the chiefs..... |

Remove last season, where Cassel was mentally shot, and Alex Smith is the same QB.

We'll see how many turnovers Smith has now that he doesn't have one of the best defenses in the league to keep the scores down and a HC that is going to put more on Smith's shoulders.
Smith averaged 1 INT and .5 fumbles a game prior to 2011. |

Over their respective careers, Smith has more total turnovers (INT's + FUM) than Cassel in basically the same number of games. (78 vs. 80 games played)
Cassel 57 INT 41 FUM Smith 63 INT 44 FUM |

Other than that they're the same guy. I love how they tout the turnovers numbers. Every QB wants low turnovers but every QB also has to produce. Alex has NEVER thrown more than 20 TD's in one season... |

And that's including Cassel's abortion of a season last year.

Patiently waiting for the "X OC's in X years", "Last two seasons", and "but he won a playoff game" excuses.
