Alex Smith to ask for release
http://tracking.si.com/2013/01/28/al...?sct=obnetwork
If no draft picks are involved, does that change your opinion on bringing him in? Draft pick, Smith, Stanzi(?) as your QB's in camp. |

Kaepernick is dirt cheap right now. They're paying less for Smith/Kaepernick than we're paying for Cassel. If they're not going to aggressively pursue FAs, maybe the cap space is better spent on the Kaepernick insurance than anything else. However, if you're the Niners, you'd be very well served to consider a long-term extension for CK this off-season and if that's the case, suddenly an $8 million backup doesn't make a lot of sense.

Are you a diehard Jags fan? W/O using google can you name your ST coach from 04-06?

Really? You think Aaron Rodgers is less talented today than when he entered the league 7 years ago? Everyone declines eventually but not at the same pace. Joe Flacco certainly looks worlds better than he did 5 years ago.
You have to remember, Smith is 28 years old. He graduated from college in 2 years. I wouldn't call him over the hill yet. |

My problem with Smith is, again, a good HC has pretty much already said "he can only take me so far".

Secondly, the 49ers have a lot of talent on that team that needs to be locked up. Dashon Goldson or Alex Smith? If think everyone knows the answer. |

So it's official that he wants out? I wasn't sure if the media was making a discussion of it or if he was exploring the option.

And really, it's stupid, but my biggest reason for saying no is simply that we didn't draft him.

This post season would have been a MUCH different story with Alex Smith as QB

Alex Smith is not a ****ing super bow winner. If he was then Jim Harbaugh wouldn't have doubted him. It's ****ing ear that he sucks balls.

Alex Smith's limitations were on full display in the NFC Championship Game against the Giants last season. The 49ers had zero downfield passing game. |

Alex Smith is the poster child of why the Chiefs haven't won a SB in over 40 years. You can't continue to look for that guy who didn't meet his potential somewhere else, or think that somebody else's castoff is going to be our gold. You can talk all you want about there not being a franchise QB in this draft. If we get Alex Smith he will make us just good enough so that next time there is a franchise QB available, we won't be in position to take him.
