Cardinals interested in Alex Smith

It's too late a deal has already been reached to trade Smith.

And, do the Cardinals really think the 49ers would trade Smith to a division rival???

Exactly. Not gonna happen. KC, sure.

Alex Smith holds the Marbles if he Doesn't want to sign a long term deal with KC, he can play rent a quarterback for a season or stay with the Niners!

The Cards need to be interested in building a decent O-line.

They need him more than the Chiefs...
Poor Larry just needs somebody to throw him the ball!

I think it depends on what they get. A first round pick or several higher round picks might make it worthwhile.

100% correct. Smith isn't that much different than Kolb. They'd be better off keeping Kolb, working on the O-line, and then seeing how Kolb or any QB performs for them when they aren't getting sacked 8 or 10 times a game.

Spot on.

They need to use their high pick to draft a lineman for sure.

Stay with the Niners Smith. You get to stay healthy for a year riding the pine and earning m

More than the starter!

Maybe the starter gets injured, Smith comes in and takes over the starting job.

It's happened before, if my memory is correct.

The Cardinals started 4-0 last year with Kolb before he got injured, so maybe they should use a few of those draft picks they got from Washington to get him some help.

St. Louis was the team that made the trade with Washington.

I don't care which team Alex Smith goes to as long as the 49ers get just compensation. I think that because Arizona is in the same division as the 49ers they should definitely demand more in exchange.

A proper amount for a divisional foe to cough up would be a 1st round pick. From K.C. I would be less demanding accepting 2 / second round picks from 2013, 2014.

Arizona has better receivers to throw to, but K.C. is in a weaker division where winning the AFC West division is easier to accomplish.

There's a lot of that going around.

Kubiak did it his entire career.

Never happen I agree. But SF might be crazy losing Smith, K is a running QB and they usually don't last too long.
