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. |

I want to draft Geno number 1. But Id take Alex Smith. Smith has turned into a far better QB than Cassel with a good QB coach. He can throw to win games. He did it against New Orleans in the playoff game. Cassel could never do it. He had one of the greatest offenses and couldnt get the Pats to the playoffs. Smith for 2 years while Reid finds and grooms his QB would be fine

For a backup QB you need a guy that's 1) cheap and 2) serviceable. Alex Smith doesn't really fit either of those bills. So he wouldn't want to come here as a free agent but he'd be happy as a peach to get traded here against his will? |

Blaine Gabbert started his rookie season and he wasn't anywhere near ready. Be prepared because a #1 draft pick WILL start, whether he's ready or not. And if you're in the "need a guy that can play" camp, you're with me. Alex Smith is overkill. |

Mentorship and coaching is not overrrated. In fact, its going to be needed badly with a young rookie QB. If he is traded, he has no choice and he has shown that he is a good teamamte under shitty circumstances. As an FA, he has mor power, but traded. Not so much.

To me, Geno Smith/Alex Smith is an either/or situation.
That's just the reality of the modern NFL. If they bring Alex Smith in here, he will be the starter. Period. We won't be drafting a QB high and having a "competition". That is a coach-speak-fueled fantasy. |

You are assuming things. based on your feelings about the matter. If he was a problem, they wouldnt say anything, or barely anything anyways. there hasnt been one story out of SF this yea about a problem with Smith. It would of come out by now.

I'd rather us draft Geno with the first pick and sign a QB like Drew Stanton or Matt Moore. |

Smith said ALL LAST SUMMER that he wasn't happy. And he was still technically the starter at that time.

here's the deal. Even if Alex Smith becomes a free agent, who is going to sign him? A team without a QB. Now, that really boils down to Arizona, KC, Oakland, Tampa (if they let Freeman walk), Buffalo, or NY Jets. If you don't think the GM of each of those teams wouldn't still draft a QB, then you are nuts. Nobody is going to give him the reins without having a guy to develop as well. Then, he could be Matt Flynn all over again.
