Likewise. And I've said literally a dozen ****ing times that this team still needs to draft Geno Smith and doing otherwise is foolish.
But Christ, can nobody look at anything on its face? Alex Smith is still a competent starting QB even if Geno Smith dies tomorrow. Even if Geno Smith becomes the hybrid lovechild of John Elway, Dan Marino and Joe Montana. But hey, let's make sure we cut down Alex Smith to make Geno Smith appear a more attractive option - because lord knows that's how you make your case that Geno Smith is a badass. Geno Smith is a great QB prospect in his own right. Geno Smith should be our #1 overall pick. Now is anyone capable of actually talking about Alex Smith for who he is rather than who he is not?

I also disagree with your assertion that Alex Smith is good enough to win with. He's not. Jim Harbaugh didn't believe it and the rest of the league didn't believe it, which is precisely why I made the post I did.

You're the one that put out the straw man and started making dipshit arguments claiming that being benched for Colin Kaepernick means anything more than "you were benched for one of the 5 most talented QBs in the league".

Putting aside the talent concerns about Alex Smith for a second... the durability factor has to be a concern as well.
He has only started 16 games in two out of his 8 NFL seasons. |

so Harbaugh must have sprinkled some of that magic pixie dust he used on Luck on Smith and Kaepernick as well...we need some of that god damn dust.

Alex Smith is absolutely good enough to win 10-11 games with. He's proven it. But that's all you're going to get from him. Which I've said from the start.

If I were looking for a stop-gap QB solution (as Reid appears to be doing here), that would worry me a hell of a lot more than his raw ability.

I'm not going to freak out until they announce an extension and said extension calls for $30M guaranteed.
Then I'll freak out. Until then, if this is just a stopgap for whatever rookie we draft at #1, #34 or somewhere in between that then I think it's not a bad move at all if it is for a 4th round pick. |

Smith was passed over by Seattle, who played him 2x year. He was passed over by Miami. He was passed over by Cleveland, and the Jets. Thirty two teams had a shot at an adequate starting QB and not one thought he was good enough. It isn't just a matter of Smith v. Kaepernick, it's the 49ers saying for multiple offseasons, "We don't trust this guy" and the entire NFL echoing that sentiment last year.
