It's not Alex love. It's Alex honesty. The fact is that having a veteran QB who will not lose the game is a valuable commodity. So much so that veteran backup QBs who might never see the field for a single snap are paid up to $4-$5 million a year.
If that QB could then go out as a starter for a full season and win you a playoff game, he is easily worth a couple more million on top of that. There just aren't that many guys who can be a successful, starting NFL qb. It also comes down to finding that sweet spot of a contract that neither hamstrings your salary cap nor prevents the team from actively seeking to improve at the QB position. If they give him a 5 year, $50 million contract (which they probably will), then I'll be pissed. If it's four years for $25 million, I'll be elated. The funny thing is that Alex Smith haters should PRAY he gets his contract extended this year. A) It starts the countdown on him getting replaced sooner, and B) Think how big of a contract he'll get NEXT offseason if we go to the playoffs and win in back to back years. HUGE contract then. |

Hell, everyone but Alex would be elated at that. Dude ain't taking a massive pay cut. He's getting $10-12 a year, no doubt about it. Hopefully, it's for 2 years and not 5. Or if it is for 5, they can get out of it cheaply after 2. My concern is that we're going to be stuck for 4-5 years, since Andy has a giant boner for Alex. |

John was part of a GB brain trust that not only drafted Rodgers, but jettisoned Brett Favre at the right time as well. Andy loved McNabb, until he traded him. Andy loved Kolb, until he traded him. Andy loved Vick, until he benched him for a third round pick rookie a little over a year after giving Vick a 100 million dollar contract. I'm not worried too much about these guys being so in love with Alex that they keep starting him Cassel style to the point he is applauded when he goes down to injury. The only way Alex keeps his job long term, is to earn it. |

If you'll be pissed about 5/$50, you're not going to happy about much.
An NFL starting QB for $10 million is a steal. You think he'd take a pay cut on a long term deal? Look at the market and look at what Smith can do. If we can get him at 5/$50, you're talking realistically about something like 4/38 - you'd be crazy to pass on that.

The draft will be loaded with QB's but the same people that kept the Alex sucks thread going for 8 months now want to give him a big extension-lol
If he has a bad game in the playoffs- that Alex sucks thread will be back. |

At least the bullshit Patriots fans didn't try to claim they were Chiefs fans.
