Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith struggled against his former team, and backup San Francisco quarterback B.J. Daniels threw a late touchdown pass to give the 49ers a 15-13 victory over Kansas City in a preseason game Friday night. Phil Dawson hit all three of his field-goal attempts for the 49ers, two of them 55-yarders, while the Chiefs' Quintin Demps returned a kickoff 104 yards for a touchdown. Smith was just 7 of 16 for 62 yards while playing the full first half, but he did help Kansas City to two field goals. The 49ers didn't go easy on him, either: Defensive tackle Tony Jerod-Eddie was flagged for delivering a helmet-to-helmet hit on Smith in the second quarter. Colin Kaepernick, who took over Smith's starting job in San Francisco last season, only played the first offensive series.

If I had shoes as large as Smith's to fill, I would always be feeling the pressure. It would be smothering. Almost overwhelming.
To Alex's credit, there were a lot of drops by the WRs and TEs. His deep balls didn't look much different than when he was here though. Tolzien didn't look good at all. Daniels started out rusty but had some nice throws and decisions. The TD pass was put in a great spot.
The Chiefs lost and Alex Smith sucked...dinking and dunking as usual...throw 2 deep balls no where near the receiver.
Although Smith didn't look like a Pro Bowl QB, the utter dominance of SF's D-Line over KC's O-line may have been a bigger factor. Damn SF's defense looked good.
as far as im concern BJ Daniels is the backup to Kaep. Colt Mccoy and Tozien have look like crap so far. Real nice td pass Daniels made
yea. i think they might be better. even the second stringers made alex look bad. biggest thing i took away from the past two games is how good the niner's pass rush looks. they got aldon smith but the other guys have been impressive. hoping corey lemonier has a rookie season like aldon had. it would be crazy.
I didn't see the game, but looking at the highlights it didn't look like he had much of a chance. Constant pressure, nobody open, and drops.
