49er fan here.
I understand you guys are all pissed. You earned the #1 pick of the draft. Your QB situation was abysmal. And you just overpaid for a veteran QB who over the last few years was made to look better than what he probably is.
I will agree with the Niner fan who posted on the previous page. Alex Smith was the most argued about player probably in 49er history. Some people were enamored with him from day 1. The #1 pick. What was supposed to be our franchise QB. Sure he was thrown into a team that had pretty much zero talent and was coached by complete numb skulls. He had his share of injuries as well. But he proved with some stability around him, he can be a good option at QB. He will never be great. And quite honestly unless you guys somehow pull a rabbit out of your hat and end up with a top 10 defense, he will never lead you to the super bowl. But do you honestly think you guys were headed to the SB within the next 3 years anyway? Get real. And this Geno Smith character that has some of you guys duped into thinking he is a franchise player possibly worthy of your #1 pick? That is insane. I feel bad for you guys that you have the #1 pick in such a weak draft year as far as high profile potential elite players go. But trading out of it may not be a bad thing. You might be able to get that second rounder and a few other picks out of it. Who knows. What I do know is that you are not in the worst position in the world. Smith can get you guys at least to respectability. Other than Denver, your division is terrible. And you are one Peyton Manning injury away from being division contenders.
Don't say that Trent Baalke or Jim Harbaugh raped you guys with this deal. Because clearly, you consented and bent over at the same time. We'll take that extra 2nd rounder. The deal surprises 49er fans just as much as it does you guys.
Just give Smith a chance before you jump ship. It won't be as bad as you think.
