When was the last time the Raiders actually hit on a first rounder?

That would be one reason I'd rather have Foles.

Bout the same time the Chiefs hit on a retread QB? It's been a while sure. But the crypt keeper is dead, so who knows what happens there.

Well a week ago Chris Nortensen reported the Chiefs have no interest in Alex smith

Does he report for PBS?

I'm not going to get mad about this until it happens. I don't have the energy to think of another Cassel situation. If they went Alex Smith and no developmental guy I wouldn't know what to do.

So the absolute soonest the trade can happen is the 12th....?

We better not trade for Alex Smith. If we don't take a qb #1. I would trade for Flynn and draft Manuel

the saddest part is if there is any truth to this is that the 49ers have no leverage

the chiefs would be the only team interested
there is no market for the ****ing shitty player
so the chiefs can lowball and the 49ers would be in a position to either take it or leave but then keep Smith and his 8.5 million contract to sit the bench means the 49ers miss out on a starting #1 CB in FA. So they might just give him away to us, especially if we were the only team that called, which is sad.

in perspective, at the time we traded for Matt Cassel, MATT CASSEL HAD A ****ING MARKET OF TEAMS INTERESTED AT LEAST. This time, its so bad that the ****ing turd is a turd and everybody should know that.

I heard the Browns are open to trading Weeden or McCoy. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but if that's the case I could see them as a more logical spot for Smith, what with Norv and all.

I'm not going to get too worked up about it at this point.

For one thing, even though Cole is usually pretty "in the know" this makes no sense:

"Several" head coaches and coordinators around the NFL wouldn't be surprised if the entire first round passed by without a quarterback selected.

That's literally NEVER happened. Maybe once. There is less than zero chance that no QBs are taken in the 1st round.

So either he's making shit up or somebody is feeding him a line of tasty bullshit.

Hope not ugh.

Accept his skills don't really mesh with the Coryell.


If the Browns are doing that, I'd say that puts Glennon in play for them.

Like goober just said above, didn't Mort put this to rest a week ago?

Hopefully this is like the McNabb in Washington situation
