I would probably riot.





In my living room.

I would prefer trading him for Josh Gordon and just one first rounder. Don't want to be too greedy here.

The guy is going to be responsible for almost 4K yards of total offense this year. He's unquestionably been in the top 1/2 of NFL quarterbacks this year and he's getting better. His last 4 weeks have been his best weeks thus far.

And folks are really sitting around saying - eh **** it, who needs him?

How the hell did you people forget just how awful so many QBs in this league are. FFS, Matt Cassel is actually getting starts still.

Hell yes he's earned an extension. Should it be some moronic Flacco/Romo style extension? Hell no, but if you can get him to sign an extension for 9-12 million/season, why the hell wouldn't you?

Be reasonable. The guy's been a good quarterback for us and without a proven superior option we'd be silly to let him walk.

Need to see how he does in the playoffs first

Let him walk where?

He is signed for starters pay this year and next. Sorry, but I would hate to sign him this offseason to a big contract and him to get hurt next year or in the offseason.

I say let it play out and if he is playing at a high level by mid season next year, start the talks...even if it costs us a little more that way, it would be worth it in "cover our ass" bucks.

With the strides Smith has made this year, it would be foolish to let him go now.

and do you think that Dorsey and Reid gave up two, 2nd round picks for 1 season? They are going to resign him. I just hope they dont break the bank for him (unless he becomes the Superbowl MVP)

Another reason I'm reluctant to talk about an extension. Right now...

Andy Reid gave Michael Vick 100 million.

Think about that...

Eh, he's growing on me. Win a playoff game first though.

That could work. I think he's making around 8.5 now? That sounds doable..

He's improved quite a bit as the OL play has improved as of late. But it remains to be seen if he should be extended. They need to how he finishes the year, what type of contract he'll demand and what other options are available.

Only then can they make a reasoned decision.

I would at the very least give him Peyton Manning money.

Contracts in the $20M range cause teams to dump talent and saddle the team unless the QB is truly elite.

A contract at $9-12 M/year probably only allows us to keep the status quo. And I'd rather take my chances elsewhere than settle for a few years of feel good football without a real chance for a Superbowl.

I'd feel better at $8 M per year, which is where he's at now. No one thinks we are going to win the SB this year, so that means we still need to add talent to this team if we are building toward a championship. Alex only makes sense if he is cheap enough that we can keep elite talent on both sides of the ball around him.

Hows your 4 win prediction going?
