Rap Sheet: Talks With Alex Smith Not Progressing Well

[CaliforniaChief]

Team that will consider a 1st-round QB: The #Chiefs. Negotiations with Alex Smith aren’t progressing well. Must keep long-term options open

So....

WTF does that have to do with comparing Smith to Romo?

You are praising Smith for team accomplishments for a team that probably would of been good with about any qb

As evident by them advancing to the SB the following year despite being qb'd by a guy who according to many on here sucks

Just saying maybe Smith was not the catalyst for their success
Whereas without Romo the Cowboys are probably a 5 win team

Yes, we all know it's only a matter of time before he's replaced and that's all garbage.

That said, those morans came out and stated he was the day 1 starter...

I did not know that he had been named starter. We know how that will turn out. Adrian Peterson is never gonna have post season success.

Otwp is right. There's a double standard here that's unbearable.

"Romo isn't winning them shit". Well, no shit. That's a terrible team around him.

Yet when someone makes the claim that our beloved qb loses, it's always "he needs more help, more around him".

WTF are you even talking about?

It's like people rent out the Family Guy Premise Manatees to construct their arguments.

I wasn't praising Smith for anything. I was pointing out that, in the only season that fit the given criteria, Smith took his team to OT in the NFCCG. Context matters.

and again since they have done that twice in a row since he left it suggests it was not that great of an accomplishment

I mean if Kaep can do it then apparently it is not that hard

In 2012 Kaepernick replaced Smith because of injury that season. They only went once since Alex Smith wasn't on the team. I know it is kind of splitting hairs and all but lets keep things straight.

Ok you are right, Alex was still on the team
But Kaep started 10 games that year including the playoffs and SB

I would say Alex had little to no influence on their SB run

"Alex Smith is the worst QB in the history of the NFL. He's never accomplished anything without a phalanx of super elite teammates, and even then he usually fails them."

"Oh, I wouldn't go that far."

"CAN YOU BELIEVE THE EXCUSES ROLLED OUT FOR THIS GUY?!?!?!?"

We have to have the dumbest-assed 'fans' in all of sportsdom.

I agree; anyone who would advocate locking him down for Cutler money, and for four years or more...absolutely ****ing "dumb-assed". Sad.

So gtfo with that shit.

That's all true, with the exception of calling crabree elite in 2011 (I'm assuming you're talking about 2011). Crab didn't wake up and start playing football until the niners brought in Randy Moss in 2012. Then Crab decided he should start putting in a little effort.

Very similar to Vernon Davis. Davis was hot garbage until Singletary told him to grab his helmet and get off the field during a game. Davis came back from that a completely different player and turned his career around.

CP is going to totally implode regardless of what happens. It's what we do.

So....

Yes, they went even further the year later. Kap doesn't suck, they weren't behind the 8 ball coming into the season due to a lock-out, the niners were in their 2nd year in the Harbaugh/Roman offense, Kap was throwing to a vastly improved Crabtree and Randy Moss, Smith had old Crabtree and Kyle Williams (who I actually like) and Brent Swain, and the Kap led niners did not have to overcome 10 gifted points to the opposing team by the special teams unit.
