Alex Smith?

[Proudiddy]

He's taken back over the 49ers starting spot and he's not locked up past this year. I have always been impressed with his physical skills and he's still relatively young. I think some of his struggles in SF have been due to changes in coordinators, systems, and trying to impress different coaches. I really think he could be a legitimate option as our QB next year and beyond. I really hope he tests the FA market after the season and doesn't re-sign...

meh....

most thought that david carr's problems had to do with him being on a crappy team.

not buying. i'd rather see what moore has. crap, i'd rather see mccown get a chance. smith...if he's available and really cheap and we were going to have a real competition for the job, sure why not give him a shot? i just wouldn't put much on the line for him.

He may still have a future as a starter in the NFL, interesting to see how he does the rest of the year in Frisco.

I feel uncomfortable with the use of the same rationale that brought David Carr here and the similarities are eerie.

Tavaris Jackson, Kellen Clemens, and Jason Campbell are much more palatable options from my viewpoint.

Carr's problem was he was shell shocked and needed to sit a year and learn a system with no pressure. He didn't get that here and was literally booed out of town. Now that he's had that he doesn't look that bad in NY. If Smith can rebound this year then I think it'd be worth giving him a shot. But of course if he does then SF will probably lock him up.

Why would we want a injury prone QB??

[Proudiddy]

IMO, from when I've seen Smith, his game is nothing like Carr's. He actually looks to get rid of the ball whereas Carr would just sit in the pocket all day and wait to be sacked. I just think he has a lot of potential and could be had for a bargain price.

He took two paycuts just too stay with the 49ers..no way he leaves

[joemac]

How did he take paycuts? As the number 1 overall pick, isnt he guaranteed like 20 plus million? Im asking because I really want to know, not because im trying to talk poo.

umm.... HELL NO

[rayzor]

he won't leave unless they draft another QB with the top 5 pick we give them.

I like talking poo and farts and all sorts of smelly things. <-------------

Because it makes life interesting. You want boring? Like The Saints or the Colts or the Patriots? please....
