alex smith was sitting there and would have cost a team no pick compensation.
then he resigns with SF, gets benched, and we trade two #2 picks for him.
people that are happy about that, or even ok with it, shouldnt be throwing stones about geno...

Five myths about the 49ers, Alex Smith and the future
Quote:
3.) Smith was a free agent last season and there was no market for him.
Yes, Smith technically was a free agent in 2012, but there needs to be a large asterisk next to that designation. Everyone in the league assumed the 49ers would re-sign Smith because the 49ers said they would do so - Remember Jim Harbaugh-heart-Alex Smith at Pebble Beach last year? - and because Smith said he wanted to be back. It was only when the 49ers offered Smith a mediocre deal and pursued Peyton Manning that Smith figured he ought to make himself available on the open market. But that was nearly a week into free agency, and most teams already had made their plans.
