He was not. He played all 16 games in 2012. He missed the entire PS in 2011 and tore his Achilles in the offseason between 2012 and 2013.

Makes sense

Dave Meggett was a really, really ****ing good football player. That's not a slam at all. I don't know how you could think otherwise.

Would you take comparing Travis Kelce to Mark Bavaro as a slight too?

Same with all the teams where bowe would be a 3.

You seem to have a serious reading comprehension problem.

This whole line of conversation started comparing Sandy's realistic acknowledgement that Smith is here to stay compared to his detractors, many of whom want the entire building to burn.

It doesn't matter if they grudgingly admit it's not likely to happen. It's what they harp on, hope for, and bitch about incessantly.

That's right, 2011- that's the year Alex Smith outgunned Drew Brees to take SF to the NFC Championship Game. That crazy deep pass to Vernon Davis...

My bad. I stand corrected.

Actually I hope for him to play with the intensity and the fire he played with in the playoff game against the colts every game.

I don't remember everyone from the list but two at least two of those guys were rookies. I don't know if Carr or Bridgewater will make it in this League it's little early say they won't but I would rather take a chance on a guy who has vastly more potential than a 10 year vet who hasn't done jack. The fact of matter is team can and have won with rookie quarterbacks they don't necessarily have to on a complete team. If the team has good running attack, a solid defense and are descent on special teams they can win.

Pittsburgh
Indy
Carolina
Buffalo

Meggett was great in NY and NE, in the slot, out of the backfield or the old 'H-back' set, he did it all, a precursor to the Randle Els and Percy Harvins that followed.

Who said that Smith wasn't here to say? Who said that Reid, Dorsey, et. al weren't here to stay?

It absolutely does matter if they acknowledge its existence. No one is grudgingly admitting that it's not likely. The certainty of it is what breeds the anxiety and discontent.

Your entire train of thought in this thread comes from baseless claims about what you think others have said (that you can't talk about improving WRs or the line, both undeniably false).

In order for Sandy Cheeks to be in reality while everyone else isn't, there would have to be a belief that Smith isn't here long-term. Well, where is that belief?

There is a difference between a desire and a belief, and I don't think someone that conflates the two should begrudge anyone for reading comprehension issues, especially when they can't get elementary facts about what is and isn't said over personnel decisions, correct.

I would never start a rookie behind such a dumpster fire Oline.

what about Baltimore for you? would you start Bowe over either Smith?

or Houston.. Hopkins and Andre J...

Good call.

Add 'em to the list.

Over the half the league, Bowe would be a #3.

THAT is who is overpaid.

God it's sad when someone's bluster loses its bite.
