Alex Smith to ask for release

[Carlota69]

Heres the thing for me:

Im trying to stay grounded in reality. According to people who do the gig for a living, there is no For sure Bet Qb in the draft. Im all for Smith or Wilson as our pick and I will be severly dissappointed if we dont draft one fo those two guys. Having said that, we also need a veteran QB on staff. There is no "Brady, Rodgers, Manning or Brees guy available. Therefore, we are going to get a guy that will not be the second coming of Montana. Therefore, Smith is a huge possiblity, whether we like it or not. So, Im trying to see the other side of it, look at his positives, so I dont hang myself the day it haappens.

Now, if we sign Campbell, draft Smith or Wilson and one of those guys starts day one and shows us a real football season, Ill be stoked. But, Im mentally preparing for something a little elss than that, becuase with the QBS out there, that may be the case. Thats not a Chiefs fan mentality, it just seems like a bad year for Qbs, draft and FA wise.

The thing is, you're omitting a 3rd, and really most probable, outcome.

Alex Smith is a STARTER, he's not a backup. If he's going to come here, he's going to START.

You're right, he's not Brees or Brady. He's QB purgatory.

Well hes a starter if he hits FA, and then like Toooge pointed out, thats not necesarily gauranteed. If hes traded, he is whatever the team says he is.

49ers will not trade him anywhere he does not want to go.

Teams trade players to whoever gives them the best package in return. They couldnt care less what the player wants.

Take this as someone who actually follows the NFL, to yourself;

49ers will not trade Alex Smith to any team he doesn't want to go to.

Ok Sir Football know it all. I guess getting whats best for your team isnt nearly as profitable and business smart as doing whatever the player in question wants. What team do you GM for again?

If he's traded, and doesn't end up being the starter, you'll be trying to trade him next offseason. Because he won't be happy.

No thanks.
