When you lose this stupid thing, I'm going to make it easy for you to save $250. The hard way. :evil:

Kitna's best year was 4200 yards, 21 TDs, 22 INTs.

Bulger' was 4300 yards, 24 TDs, and 8 INTs.

Stafford was 5,000 yards, 41 TDs, and 16 INTs...and he's 25.

Nice comparison. What are 800 more yards and 20 more TDs, really?

Stafford's best year is basically Kitna's best year plus Alex Smith's best years combined.

So you don't think Detroit who is now some $85MM in guaranteed $ into Stafford didn't overpay? He had 2 years left on his 1st deal.

I am not asking anything other than do you think Stafford has earned $85MM in guaranteed $ at this point?

It's a stupid question. You don't give someone a contract for what they've earned. You pay them based on what you expect them to earn during the duration of the contract.

I expect that he will earn it, though.

Why because you have welched on paying bets that you have lost?
Don't care if it was the donko board or not. You have welched and have seen no dishonor it.

A stupid question? No not at all, plenty of people are questioning the decision to give him that deal.

As far as paying for future performance, yea all contracts have that expectation I would hope but looking at it reasonably he didn't earn the front half of the 1st contract so its not slam dunk he earns the second one.

BTW, don't you also expect we traded for Alex Smith based on what they feel he can do moving forward as well?

Alex has been in the league for seven seasons. He has been a starter pretty much that entire time. His best TWO seasons COMBINED produced 5,494 yards and 35 TDs.

Stafford's second year in the league (just two seasons ago) produced 5,038 yards and 41 TDs.

TribalWarefare I believe it was posted an interesting take on this yesterday in another thread.

He either had Stafford or Megatron and fantasy and an interesting tidbit why the touchdowns were so low was because Megatron was tackled or out of bands at the 1 yardline or 5 yardlines like 7 or 8 times.

and then they would either run it in, or just settle for a FG

he should have had at least 25+ touchdowns last season.

Feel free to kiss my ass.

But but but Harbaugh, checkdowns, lack of talent on the 49ers!

ALEX SMITH IS UNLIMITED.

Look, I know how his career started and he played on some shit teams. After that even though he played well he was only asked to do so much. I get that.

I also don't KNOW he has hit his ceiling. We will see as he should have instant success at least to some level in KC. Lets say his numbers should not drop off from last year and should reasonably improve in certain areas if he is what Reid thinks he is.

I don't KNOW Alex will succeed in KC, and nobody KNOWS he is going to fail. Its all conjecture at this point.

There are posts to prove it, I was a Smith supporter in 2011 and 2012 before I had any idea he was about to be benched then traded so I feel no reason to change my mind and trash the guy because he is now a Chief and CP doesn't approve.

:shrug:

Troll is a troll is a troll.

So are you in agreement with Alex Smith's biggest fan?

Smith > Stafford?

Coulda woulda shoulda.

Alex Smith would have been a SB QB had his punt returner not fumbled 2x.

God, people will do anything to create excuses for Alex Smith.
