Report: Alex Smith "effectively" traded

[VJCPatriot]

You have no idea whether or not that's giving him away. Mallett hasn't looked as if he's worth much of anything during his limited appearances as a Patriot.

And Cassel who was a 7th round pick turned into the top pick of the 2nd round. You have no idea what Mallet is worth either.

But I didn't claim to know....

I was hearing alot of rumors about KC. Don't see it being Arizona due to it being a division rival.

Maybe Rexy thought it'd be a bright idea to ship off Revis for Smith!!

NO, no no no. I want sanchez to have a very long career in new jersey. I want him to be the jets brett farve. Sanchez deserves a 15 year extension. And in a perfect world when he's 45 he can move into the qb coach position, which is where he will stay until after I die.

Either did he. He expressed his opinion about what he'd do, not that he had any knowledge or understanding.

 

[ForThoseAboutToRock]

Chiefs fans want a QB drafted in the first round. They never forgave Cassel for being a veteran trade. To this day, they ignore the reality of the pile of suck that is Sanchez.

Kinda funny that the last (and only) time they made it to the AFC Championship, it was behind Joe Montana - I guess maybe 1990's transactions don't hold much weight 20 years later, but I digress.

The good news - if a system qb like Alex Smith who was unwanted by his old team can garner a high 3rd round pick along with a conditional pick, just imagine what a young, brimming with potential QB like Mallet could get in return??

Mallet hasnt started his first NFL game.

Look what happened to Cassel after going 11 - 5. In hindsight, he wasnt worth a 2nd round pick.

Yes

Ignoring hindsight, Cassel had the huge franchise cap burden making the market for him very small as few teams could afford his cap hit to try him out.

You're wrong. He claimed that trading him for a 5th would be giving him away.

Does he have limitations? Yes.

Pioli's mistake was not trading for Cassel. His mistake was doing a heck of a lot afterward to sabotage—albeit often unintentionally—Cassel's chances of success.

 

[everlong]

It would be an interesting question for one of the ex-GMs to see what they would give up for Mallet. The problem is the three I can think of off the top of my head all come with a bit of a problem. Pioli would likely do a Lombardi and inflate the price. Pollian would have the anti Pats bias and deflate the price. And Charlie Casserly is an idiot.

Maybe the middle ground between Pioli and Pollian's answers is close to the truth.

 

[Froob]

Nothing new in the NFL. Future draft picks have always been wayyy overrated.

Seems like when you draft a guy it's like pulling a new car out of the dealership. Can't get nearly the value you drafted him for. Don't think anyone gives much for Mallett until they see him in action more. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Including trading away Tony Gonzalez to Dimitroff. The beginning of the end right there.

It's especially funny because a lot of the harshest critics were rocking Sanchez-backing signatures in the 2009 offseason. Eh, that whole board is insufferable.

Deal has been agreed upon between Chiefs and 49ers. Compensation unclear but I'm told again Chiefs have made a clear commitment to Smith.

Time to go read Chiefsplanet for the meltdown. :singing:

The #49ers will get a No. 2 pick this year and a similar pick in 2014 from the #Chiefs for QB lex Smith, per @timkawakami

Even better.....

 

[Uncle Rico]

@AndrewSiciliano: If the @49ers get the Chiefs 2nd rounder, SF will have 15 picks in 2013, including 5 in the top 93

Insane. Some speculation they'll go after Revis now.

Either they'll make a bunch of trades, or people will be salivating over their cuts.
