Smith, Tolzien thread. Yet again

I'd like to see Alex end up in KC. I predicted that is where he'd go 2 months ago, and then Trent Dilfer said the same thing a few days back. Apparently, Andy Reid is a big fan of Alex. KC has a lot of young talent. Wasn't too long ago they were a 10-6 playoff team. They just need some direction and leadership. Reid and Alex would help stabilize things there.

Cleveland would be a nice spot too. He'd be reunited with Norv Turner. They have two studs on the O-line with Thomas and Mack. Richardson in the backfield. Not sure about the receiving options. Little and Gordon have talent, but need more consistency. Do they give up on Weeden already? Alex is actually younger than him believe it or not.

Where would you guys like to see Alex go next season? I hope he lands with Chip Kelly and the Eagles.

I'd rather he go with Andy Reid and the Chiefs. Reid seems to really like him and he's a QB-friendly coach.

KC would be a good spot for Smith. They had a lot more talent last season than their record indicated. They should have been at least a 7 win team even with Matt Cassel as QB. Romeo Crennel is another of those very good coordinators that just do not cut it as HCs.

Cleveland would be not quite as solid although having Richardson to hand the ball to would take advantage of the fact Alex Smith is very good in play action.

If it wasn't already clear to some in the media that smith is being traded not released the espn article should leave no doubt.

Said that they will attempt...but give him say. and if all the teams hold out and force SF to give Alex the signing bonus, then they'll release him. I still think he'll be traded to the team of his choice.

Can't see all qb-hungry teams acting in unison. They have so few options this year. If the team are forced to release him, it's open season. One of them will want to make sure they pick up the best available qb this year.

Getting a high chief pick in return for Alex Smith is like music to my ears.

Last time we will ever see the kid in a 9er uniform....an era has finally closed.

Quite possibly.

Kinda hard to enjoy this considering today's loss...but I guess it does make me feel a little better. Thanks for the pick-me-up, buddy!

Yes, by all means feel better for yourself for being right in the qb situation right? You were proved correct? You feel good that the guy you want is staying but lost our only Superbowl? Strange but okay.

No, I'm happy that the quarterback that was able to make it past the conference championship game is staying and the one that was holding the offense back from taking the next step is moving on.

I never trusted Alex Smith to make good throws in clutch situations and I always questioned his confidence. I don't worry about that with Kaepernick though. When we were down 17-0 against the falcons, he kept his cool and lead the 9ers to victory and I honestly don't think that Alex could have gotten out of that situation.

Perhaps the bad plays of early years gave you the non-confidence, but Smith has done well the last two years. The throws in the games against the Eagles, Lions, Saints were very clutch.

Your guy cost us the Superbowl buddy. Accept it. He choked hard that first half. Karma. Accept responsibility. It's what adults do.
