According to Smith, the number one reason for Aaron Rodgers to go to the 49ers is Kyle Shanahan. He believes that under Kyle Shanahan’s coaching, Rodgers will flourish a lot. Moreover going to his hometown team will be beneficial as that’s the team he grew up supporting.

“I’m going to tell you the number one reason he should go … Kyle Shanahan,” Smith said. “That’s the number one reason he should go. Kyle Shanahan is something special. Now I’m a bit hesitant about him in the fourth quarter of Super Bowls, but that’s it. Everywhere else, I gotta love what I’m seeing from Kyle Shanahan. I think Kyle Shanahan has proven to be one of the best coaches in football, to be quite honest with you, one of the best offensive play-callers.”

You went to Cal, you come back, you go back to the Bay Area, you go back to familiar surroundings, you’re a 45-minute flight from Southern California on off days,” Smith added. “You good. Not only that but their defense. [Nick] Bosa and them, they get to the quarterback. They were in the NFC Championship Game with Jimmy Garoppolo as their quarterback. If I’m Aaron Rodgers, I give this strong strong consideration, without question.”

When I think about Deebo Samuel, an absolute stud when I think about George Kittle one of the top-two, three tight ends in all of football. Davante Adams is that guy, I get all of that and I’m not trying to say that Green Bay doesn’t have a good situation, but we know their history and sometimes you need a new setting, sometimes you need some new flavor, sometimes that new flavor is old flavor.”
