Is Alex elite? No, but he just could take you guys to the playoffs with the weapons you have. Will he? I've watched Alex his whole career I don't know, but he is the best option you guys have right now. According to Bowe he's happy about the move. Andy Reid sacrificed a lot to get Alex. There has to be something there right?
Draft a young guy to sit behind him. Let him learn the ropes. If Alex doesn't work out losing a 2nd round pick is not going to be the death of this team.

Because a coach goes for a player means there has to be something? Losing more than a 2nd first of all. This draft is deep so yeah a 34th overall is a HUGE loss. The goal isn't to upgrade over Matt. It's to get to a SB eventually. Decent QB's are much more dangerous to a franchise than shitty ones are. The decent ones just give you enough hope, just enough excuse to not go down the scary path of a new QB. We have lived it over and over again. That's why just upgrading the position isn't good enough. And what young QB will we draft? With which pick? We are going to use a high pick on a QB after we just gave this up for Smith? Yeah, ok.

I do not think Smith is elite. I don't think G. Smith is either. Of the two I want the one that can best help me win games, get in the playoffs, and have a shot at the SB. A. Smith gets me there more quickly.

Seriously man? Comparing Eli to Alex Smith? Eli goes down field, makes plays. That's what Flacco did. Alex Smith has never gone down field, never made plays. Hell even in his most shining moment he did it mostly by check downs. You are trying to swim up stream. You are about instant results. You would rather have a 9 win season next year with a guy never taking you anywhere big versus taking a chance on somebody. If you don't have a QB that can win you games, not just not lose them, you don't have a chance.
