The problem is we're in limbo. We aren't rebuilding with a young quarterback (like Oakland or Jacksonville where it's acceptable to suck) and we aren't anywhere close to being a solid team. So why did we sign Alex Smith to such a huge contract extension? He's a solid QB who can win with a good team around him, which we don't have. The only way signing him to that extension is acceptable is if we still aggressively pursue a long term solution at QB. I'm not counting out Murray/Bray yet (although I wouldn't hold my breath) but drafting QB's in the later rounds or undrafted free agency is NOT aggressively pursuing a QB.
If we have a top 10 pick next year (which seems likely) we really better not ****ing pass on a QB if one is available because of Alex Smith on the team. That would be just like the Chiefs of course.
