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.

Why would I pay him a lot of money? He's hurt a lot, his skills aren't what they were, and he's still going to get paid on name alone.

This secondary should be looking for young pieces at safety to go with Berry.

I think too many people are freaking out thinking signing Smith would be be Dorsey/Reid's version of Cassel. That they'll see him as "the answer" for several years. I don't think there's a QB this regime will see as the answer until he proves to be just that.

I really don't care how they do it, but S and CB help is critical. A vet to help the young ones out would be pretty important IMO.

Really depends on what Dorsey and Reid think. I know this isn't popular here, but if Reid and Dorsey don't feel that there is a QB in this class that is capable of taking this team to a SB and want to sign Alex Smith while they wait to see if that QB was in the next class, then I have no problem with it.

What I'm going to say to the Geno crowd when we don't draft Geno.

People used the same appeal to authority to defend Pioli and Haley with Cassel.

There is no "they're going to draft a QB next year" if we trade for Alex Smith. Because we won't be in a position to get one. HE IS THE QB. PERIOD.

Messier · 01-31-2013, 11:48 PM

Cassel was SP's personal project. He deluded himself into thinking that Cassel was Brady 2.0. I could be wrong, but I don't see Reid or Dorsey ignoring a players ability in order to keep them in the line up. I don't really want Smith in a trade, but I think Reid and Dorsey will not stop trying to find a better QB. They've always done it that way in the past, I don't know why they'd stop now.

How the **** do you know that? Teams have done this before. The Seahawks and Redskins are perfect examples.

I don't buy that. What pick you think we'd give up for Smith? Seeing as we draft first or second in every round, I don't see anything higher than a fourth. We're drafting a QB this year, and more likely than not, one in the first three rounds.
