they thought he was good enough to give up 2nds for but not good enough to pay top QB money? the logic beaks down....they believed he was 'the guy' to lead the franchise, but that he would only ask for Thigpen money?? i'd like dorsey to walk us through it

Me too. I keep reading articles about him being a mid-round "steal," which makes me think, well then, why hasn't his draft stock risen? I know, the ACL...yeah, yeah...but still...?

It begs the question of what did they hope would happen? He would come in, not play as well, ask for less money? If thats the case, they're bigger morons than they appear. |

So far in his tenure, our GM isn't looking very good. At all.
Not necessarily in this "not paying Smith" thing, which I'm fine with either way, it just makes the acquirement all the more stupid. |

I mean, Andy Reid pushed to give Mike Vick a 100 million dollar contract in Philly. |

If you have that much reluctance, a year after giving up what you gave up for him.....well, I'll let you decide on how to feel about that I guess.

Frankly, I think it's all posturing for something. It's draft week.

There's zero positive out of that trade if Smith walks after year 2. The end result is still a total disaster of a trade, and two years of the latest attempt at a rebuild utterly wasted. Less bad than it could have been is not grounds for a pat on the back.

If we had our 2nd round pick from the 49ers (56th overall? Something like that?) I'd draft him at that spot.
I'm pretty certain Murray will be gone by our pick in the 3rd. Given the team's interest in a QB and reports of the negotiations, if we don't trade down at all and by some miracle he's there at our pick in the 3rd, I would draft him without blinking. Then I would drive over to Tom Condon's house, kick his dog in the throat, and take a shit in his kitchen sink. On the side without the garbage disposal |

It's plausible that they gave up more than expected because they were factoring in his sign ability factor and now that factor isn't in play any longer. |

i think we can abandon the idea, as well, that Smith is willing to play for less just because he's a swell guy
