Alex Smith Traded To The Chiefs (How This Could Effect The Panthers Draft)

[Squirrel]

What are the Chiefs seeing, that they should give up a second rounder for a dink and dunk passer?

one rookie QB with a bum shoulder and the other that doesnt look like he is ready to be a starter. Did you see the interview Geno did with Mooch? That would scare a lot of NFL execs away. Geno isnt going to be a great NFL QB. Bad pocket awareness and you get pressure on him and he cracks.

Maybe they're not confident in Geno Smith? Don't know why he looked pretty good at the combine, he's raw but his potential is higher than Alex Smith's (although I haven't watched that much game tape on him)

He will be 29 when the season starts this year.

Tom Brady just signed a 3 year extension and he is 37. Your point???

The Chiefs could have been smarter about this. I can understand their desperation for a QB, but to give up a high draft pick for a guy like Alex Smith? That would be like trading away a late first round pick for a guy like Marc Bulger.

They could have drafted a QB in the third, and got the same kind of skills Alex Smith offers. Terrible move.

I agree they should have picked up Matt Moore in FA and taken a 2nd or 3rd round qb.

Wow.

Tom Brady v. Alex Smith.

What is YOUR point?

[Zod]

yeah yeah yeah, so the 49ers have like 34 picks this year. So what, we have Armanti!

Not going to happen, but I'd STILL take Geno.

If I have been hearing Smith compared to Aaron Brooks, still do it. Smith may give you some short term success over Cassel, but I think Geno's ceiling is way higher than what Alex has shown.

I'd keep pulling the trigger on QB's until you find your guy. You reaaaaaally think KC is ready to invest the future into Alex Smith? 0_0

Geno is just like Chris Weinke on the field great passer but cant handle the pressure. He will most likely be a big bust if he is thrown onto the field to early.

Agreed. Give Smith his shot, but if I were the cheifs I'd feel so much better knowing there's young potential talent on the bench.

But you have to spend the #1 pick on Geno. Better talent out there that will be on the team for 7-8 years.

that would be essentially two first round picks (#34 is essentially a first rounder) QBs in a row...in the same draft. sorry....not gonna happen.

It probably won't happen, but it wouldn't surprise me if it did. Teams will give up pretty much anything to get a franchise QB and if they feel like Geno is that guy, there you go.

it would surprise me.

if they felt that geno was their guy, they wouldn't have given up a second for another QB. you don't give up an early pick for a QB you intend to be a short term solution. you don't use two early draft picks in a row on QBs.

they didn't trade for smith so they could draft geno.

[TheGreatestOfAllTimeCam]

How did the 49ers get 15 picks
