Yes, really. There are a lot of teams out there that are struggling with their current QB. They would love to have a guy who can lead the league in percentage and be high on the yards/att. list, as well as reading defenses well.
I agree.
But, does it make sense for a team to wait for him to become a free agent in March?
Given the quarterbacks in the 2013 draft class, some team like Kansas City, which should have the first pick in the draft, would love to get Smith.
Smith would solve one major problem and having him would let them pick best player available.
See what Harbaugh decides tomorrow. If Kaepernick is named the starter, Smith may want a trade.
If I were Baalke, I would work with Smith and Smith's agent to arrange a trade. .
I would accept a 2nd round pick in 2013 and a 4th round pick in 2014 from the Chiefs.
