What do some experts say the Chiefs face next weekend?

Is Alex Smith, the San Francisco 49er Quarterback for real? He drew these comments from the Fox Football site, since he is now rated in the top 10 among NFL quarterbacks after week 2.

Commenting are Howie Long, Terry Bradshaw, former Coach Jimmy Johnson, and Curt Menefee, the teams latest addition. All are fairly impressed.

The Following are Exerpts
From the Fox NFL Roundtable @ http://msn.foxsports.com/other/story/5989916

CZAR: Alex Smith looks like a totally different quarterback. Can the 49ers be pretty good this season?

Jimmy: Norv Turner really has made a difference with Alex Smith. Smith hasn't turned the ball over in two weeks. And Frank Gore is a really good running back. Everyone talks about how much Norv helped the development of Troy Aikman, but Emmitt Smith benefited as well.



Howie: I know what you're saying. I've heard Troy talk about Norv and they have something very special. Everyone talked about it in Seattle with Matt Hasselbeck, but Trent Dilfer is another player who is helping Smith. He was a tremendous teammate for Hasselbeck and he's doing the same for Smith. Antonio Bryant has a little T.O. in him, but Dilfer is the one who reined him in and pulled him aside, telling him not to show up his quarterback. He's an invaluable guy for a young quarterback like Smith and for a team trying to turn things around. You almost have to take three steps back to take one step forward. Mike Nolan is changing a mentality of an entire football team. He's trying to instill his vision of what he wants. He's very rigid in what he wants and he's not going to deviate from that.



Curt: They had some bad character guys under the two previous head coaches. Some players complained that they got away with too much. The first thing Mike thought he had to do was to clean out the locker room.



Howie: However, there were times when they released a guy that you wondered how they could afford to get rid of a good player when they weren't a winning team.

Myself, this Kansagonian never held up San Francisco as any stronghold of professional football. I wasnt respectful of the west coast offense- but I do credit Joe Montana and his teams for bringing todays game to the forefront in the NFL. Joe Walsh could stretch an field with that offense for sure. At the time I thought it was sophomoric and and belonged in the NCAA.
I have grown. The Seattle Seahawks, (our hometown team in Portland Ore.) and thier rendition of the popular scheme helped to turn this bloggers opinion. I now have to wonder about these new 49ers, Is this guy Frank Gore the next back to benefit from the west coast offense, the next, Shaun Alexander? I dunno about that!~ time will tell.

The 49ers however, deserve credit for making a great attempt at turning this team around... time will surely tell.

We'll be watching next week!!!
Lets see who shows up next Sunday!!!
Roll on Kansas City Chiefs "D"!!!
Roll on Red Warriors!!!
