He's an unusual circumstance in that they have him locked for 2 years. Is there really any reason to extend him now? What do you think the odds are that they will next year?
As far as other types of committment go, he was named the starter immediately, he's carrying himself in interviews as the unquestioned starter, and they're making him one of the faces of the franchise. I'd say it's pretty clear that they aren't treating him like a short-term fix. |

Can't be 2 early 2cd round picks. If we suck that bad it will be a 3rd rounder.

My dad has them. He's petty sick right now so I would expect I'll go to most games this year. Not looking like he will make it to any

If they trade what yet did for Smith and move on from him before the second draft pick is even used....it if you think that's going to happen, you're crazy.
Also if you think things are bad here now, let that happen and see how it goes |

I'm skeptical as to whether they could consistently win at a championship game level (conference or league) with him, but I think he could ride the team to wild card or division wins if everything is built strongly enough around him. That said, I don't expect we'd ever see anything like last offseason's performance by Flacco out of him, though.

He might be able to win a playoff game with an elite defense, or just a ridiculously great defensive effort in one game. He's not going to put a team on his back and carry them through the playoffs. Alex Smith is like stopping at $10,000 on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. The money is nice, but it's not life-changing. |

That's why I have said over and over, I have no idea how this is going to pan out, but using anything from San Francisco, as a barometer of how he is going to do here, is stupid, and uninformed hypothetical boring bullshit.

No its facts. Thinking it will be any different would be hypothetical dude. Facts are facts and by almost any measure Alex Smith is on par with Cassel in terms of production. He averages less than 200 yards a game. He's been in the league eight years, make all the excuses you want but he's been middle of the pack. Posted via Mobile Device |

A prime example of that. Troy Aikman. Hes a hall of fame qb, who spent his career, handing off to Emmitt Smith. Now, obviously, I am not saying Alex Smith is as good as Troy, hes not, troy might of been the most accurate passer in the history of the NFL. What I am saying is, that your scheme, and coaching, sometimes dictates your stats. And it is why, I have never said that Alex is going to succeed or fail here, because I don't know. I don't know if he can handle passing more, I also don't know if Andy Reid will use him that way. So yes. To speculate on how playing for a different style of coach, and assuming that the results are going to be the same. Is useless. COMPLETELY, USELESS.

If we are in win now mode, awesome I'm ready to win now.
But if that's the case, if you go win 6 games, it was a huge failure. |

Less than .500 this year is a failure IMO.
