- Quarterback Alex Smith on making peace with the 49ers and the Bay Area before his trade to the Chiefs, how he hoped he would follow Coach Andy Reid to Kansas City and responds to the notion that both he and Coach Reid came into their new franchise with a chip on their shoulder, ready to prove their former teams wrong. Coach Reid chimes in as well to discuss his admiration of Smith before they both landed in K.C. and giving Alex more pre-play control.

One thing Andy could do was make any quarterback the absolute best version of themself.
Maybe. Though the playoff loss two years ago was a bit on him. And maybe he's falling short again this year.
He had Kevin Kolb playing playoff football
Himself.
Facts
I can’t help but love Andy Reid seems like such a good dude
Man I hope Alex kills it this year. I'm going to miss seeing him in the red and gold. The only reason he's going to be leaving is because of that contract, straight up.
Elton Wilson I'm a bronco fan
I think he's started strong already
This might be a great year for him and the chiefs
I've followed his exploits since he was drafted by the Niners. When you can withstand the negatives and still be a good person, that's a great accomplishment. He already understands that his might be his last season with the Chiefs, but there are more important things in life than being bitter about what happened in the past.
Elton Wilson wow you hope he kills it this year after he did great his first game. Dude shut the fuck up. If the cheifs don't want him there are plenty of teams in the NFL that will sign him no problem.
Smith is 62-25-1 since 2011. I'd say that's a winner in my book. He's leaving because the Chiefs can't afford him to keep both him and Mahomes.
Watching Alex Smith pick the Patriots apart was such a fun game to watch. I don't think he is finished in the NFL at all. He is truly a cerebral player, student of the game & it truly wonderful to see him have such a tremendous game. No team needs to sleep on the Chiefs, even with the very sad season-ending injury to one of my favorite players - Eric Berry. Any team making the huge mistake thinking that this team, coached by a great Andy Reid & lead by Alex Smith, will be in for a very rude awakening. We are a Panthers & Cowboys family, but more importantly- we just love football.
You'd gotta love Andy Reid. 'I'm not gonna name a car. We're not gonna get in trouble.' Two seconds later, 'Pretty soon you're driving the Rolls Royce.' Hilarious
cheesesteak93 pretty sure he meant he wasn’t gonna name a shitty car and get in trouble for that but still funny lol
If anyone was to win a ring besides my packers I hope it's Andy Reid and Alex Smith they have both endured a shit ton of drama and heartbreaking losses but managed to turn it back around together and make the Chiefs a real team
Brian McMinn with you 100%
Respect
well you got one of your wishes loll
I'm a 49er fan and always thought Alex was short changed from day 1. I would really like to see him win it all this season.
Same here man. I didn't like how he lost his job due to his injury. Kaepernick was exciting with his running ablitliy.. but I would have preferred Alex Smith to get back into the starting line up once he was good to go. I always liked Smith, even during the bad years, I knew it was the instability of our front office and poor coaches that was our problem. Everyone talked shit on Alex Smiths arm, but that playoff game vs Brees that they way, he proved he can throw it and be the QB to win it all.
Sucks how it ended without a ring with him and for the 49ers.
A little but he is what he is
It's too bad the chiefs lost in the divisional round against the Steelers when they were clearly the better team. It should have been Chiefs vs. Patriots in the championship game. Probably would have been more competitive.
Boc Ronfield Facts💯
If they were better then how did they lose to a team that only scored FIELD GOALS
HomoSHREKshual Because it's football and anything can happen.
@@chuck8720 in football, the better team doesn't always win. That's because there's no series of games. Single elimination. Often times the better team does not end up the victor
They were the better team on paper, but the Steelers showed up when it mattered, not against the patriots lol, but against the chiefs
While I am glad that Patrick Mahomes is the Chief's quarterback now, it was a really nice upgrade having a reliable quarterback in Alex Smith. He was never a selfish player and just gave it his all. I was happy he ended up in Washington and got that huge contract.
luke bryde It felt pretty good seeing Mahomes have that amazing season, getting fans to think things have changed only to get the same results in the post season
@@drakebudasz8837 this aged well
I hate the eagles more then anything on this planet but I like Andy Reid. Good coach
Russell Jennings he is good at coaching qbs his job with Vick was incredible but he always choked In the playoffs
I wonder if Alex is sick of playing in a red jersey- first with the University of Utah, then the 49ers and now with KC.
Quite the opposite.
thejollyjumbuck the color of the 💰 never changes so it doesn't matter.
And now with Washington
Heisenberg a different shade of red but still
Heard Alex is getting a honorary Super Bowl 54 Ring. Chiefs are a classy organization.
I wonder what getting discarded by Andy felt like. He was kicking ass in dc and then the injury. I wish Alex had better luck. He’s such a great player and person. He doesent deserve so much adversity.
Kicking ass? He was below average - average at best 😭
Capital City Live! If below average had him in the mvp discussion every year in Kc, I’d like to know what average is.... that’s the problem with casual fans... you hear one thing on sports center and take it as fact... like how you idiots call him check down Alex despite him multiple times being in the top 3 in deep completion percentage or attempts....
Amp Blaster bro did you look up a single stat before writing this?...
Capital City Live! The guy had the worst franchise in football the redskins up 3 games in the division in week 10 and they couldn’t win another game without him....
TheDCGuitar13 first off Im talking about his play in dc, so idk why you brought up KC lol second - he wasn’t good with y’all. Your defense played very good ball til your coordinator switched up (which is why Swearinger got so pissed btw) and the run game behind AP was working. Alex Smith just did a good job of not forcing things and letting his defense and run game win. But anytime he faced a decent opponent where he had to keep up with points in the air, he lost and played bad lol he was average at best, and that’s giving him points for not turning the ball over.
Looks like Andy Reid had a total knee replacement on his R side. Wonder when that was...
I saw the same thing
Not sure when, but he’s done both knees. He’s been quite heavy for a long time.
7:57 Kinda wish the Niners did that the moment they drafted him
DS_Mania harbaugh did that, feel so bad for him having to fit into so many shitty systems that didn’t fit his play style and didn’t succeed due to no fault of his own
Alex seems so disassociated in these interviews
Some people express themselves better when they can look away and not into some beady-eyed dude’s eyes.
He's definitely an introvert. At least while he was in KC he didn't use any kind of social media platform. I don't blame him.
I haven't seen Smith play much, but during this interview, I'm curious as to why he's mostly looking down during the interview.
Loved that first year he had in KC
Alex Smith isnt going anywhere!!!
The Chiefs can't afford to keep him. It's possible to sign him to another 1-2 year deal. But he's 34 and he'll be 35 next year. I'd sign him but I don't have that type of money.
So the Chiefs are going to use 2 1sts and a 3rd to draft Mahomes and not play him?
JerokTerojokke sure he play,in three years
JerokTerojokke sure he play,in three years
Super CHIEF well this is awkward..
he was a number 1 draft pick for a reason
How does he get people to open up and be so candid in his interviews that usually aren't
C.Foster money doesn't hurt.
He asks very warm, open-ended questions. Graham also really does his homework, shares some knowledge and does it without being a know-it-all.
Pause it at 3:04 -looks like Big Andy has a big ol' scar on his right knee -reconstructive knee surgery perhaps?
VicInNocal they don't reconstruct knees, it is a knee replacement
He had his knees replaced, one infected and replaced for a 2nd time.
"What are those?" @ 0:20.
People having a conversation.
The niners should bring Alex back as a QB coach
1st time Alex get the car key, his father said "drive slowly, make sure you don't crash the car". He did exactly that, he become football manager, just did enough to win the game.
Why is Alex always looking down? Does not seem to have a very confident and positive attitude.
NoComment NoName I can see how sitting right across from an interviewer like that could be awkward.
STAY IN KC!
why is he in uniform? lmao
What's sad is that he's about to be discarded again next season regardless of how well he does this year because of the Rookie behind him who they think will be their savior. Dallas discarded Romo for an average quarterback and it seems as though the mindset in KC is that this will be his last season in a Chiefs uniform and that sucks.
Jordan Martin romo is 37 years old and injury prone. Also calling Prescott an average qb means you obviously don't know football. He didn't win 13 games last year for nothing.
ellis mills You truly must be a special needs person. I've not only played football at the college level for 4 years but I've more than likely been coaching for longer than you've been alive, so I won't laugh at you because of your ignorance. Then again...Bawahahahahah
ellis mills Prescott I'd an average quarterback playing behind what is arguably the best offensive line in football. He also had Elliot, who many consider one of the best in the game. Prescott does not have the ability to make every throw, nor can he go deep with accuracy. He is benefitting from the team and system he is playing for. Put him on the 49ers or Browns or any other team that doesn't have a great line and his weaknesses are easily exposed. He is a game manager and does not possess the skill set to take over a game when his running game is non existent. He's good, but he's average.
Dallas needed to move on from Romo at quarterback whether you like it or not. He is old for a football player, injury prone and is costing Dallas a lot of money. Dallas needed to reduce the amount of money paying for the offense to build a decent defense while Romo needed to retire to keep his health intact while he is still young. I think that it is beneficial for both Dallas and Romo that they parted ways.
Jordan Martin I dont care what you played or coached, Dak Prescott is not averaged....and I hate the Cowboys. Dak always give them a chance though win, and the defense squanders it away. If you dont think Dak Prescott is a top tirr QB you need to get your vision checked Mr Coach and Mr I played CFB
who dresses that dude? Christ, he can afford better clothes...
John Koster shut yo stinky lookn ass up lol don't trip
Why do you care what he wears, what are you gay ?
thats how he stays rich
you into other dude's fashion?
Yeah he does look like a dweeb lol
