:bang::hump:

It's creating a foul stench on the board.

Infinite crybabies who will probably deny they liked him in 2 years when he proves that he's an average at best QB.

Clark Hunt says thanks to SOCs.

Its not like Clark isnt putting his money where his mouth is. Show me which one of his hires are on the cheap side?

He won't be compared to the rest of the qbs in the league over the next two years.

He will be compared to Alex Smith.

Same goes for the rest of this quarterback class.

By trading for Alex Smith and going all in with him, they have made a statement that they believe Alex Smith is better than every quarterback in this draft class.

By a wide margin, too...being his advanced age.

I never said Clark was cheap. I was pointing out something that seems alot like irony.

I honestly as ive said a couple times believe we are keeping him to see if he is it. Andy has always liked alex. Alex has 2 years left on his contrat. Only 2. Our FO knows this draft class sucks and that 14' is alot more promising..

So we are picking up a QB that andy likes and we will see if he is the guy early because of how andy likes to take the hand cuffs off qb's not like the 49ers where jim runs the ball 60% and throws 40%... If alex sucks in 13' we have our answer that he is crap and we take a qb round 1 in 14'.. I dont see the problem. I think everyone is just mad about not having Geno when alot of people say if this was a Qb heavy class Geno woldnt even be the first 3 QB off the board. I dont see why we should sell ourselves short just because its the 13' draft. Wait it out with alex and see how 13' goes. If he sucks as i said he only has 1 year left on his contract and he can either A) Mentor our 14' round 1 QB draft pick or B) play in 14' while our round 1 learns behind him and he starts in 15'.

Not just that, but he is eating Piolis contract, Romeos contract, paying a huge coaching staff as well as front office...spending top dollar on all of the hires and signings and they are obviously clearing cap space to pick up some players in free agency and go into win now mode.

Clark Hunt has taken the "money is no object" approach to this offense.

Over this time last year? Of course. Everyone waited to see what they would do in the draft and FA under ****faceroundpants first.

Reid > Crennel/Haley
Alex Smith > Cassel/Quinn


gotta figure that Reid will make a significant difference but other than that :shrug:


still time though

Nothing is set in stone yet. You do know that they will bring competition and Reid will have no problem branching Alex if he sucks balls.

Now if they keep Cassel and don't draft a QB in the first 3 rounds then **** them.

You don't trade a very high 2nd round pick, plus a 2-3 round pick next year, along with $16M worth of contract, for a QB with the intention of giving him a test run season. The problem is that if Alex Smith only plays a year and it's clear we need another QB, it's a waste of picks and money.

I am on the geno bandwagon. We will see in two years. If I am wrong I will admit it. If he goesto any team other then cleveland he should do great Iif starting. I would say Oakland but I am not sure how things will be there with the cryptkeeper cancled.

Well if we are gonnna play that game if we pick Geno at 1.1 and he fails miserably we waisted a 1st overall pick on a guy and whatever money he wouldve costed us, not to mention he would be on a 4-5 year contract.

alex is a 2 year contract, 2nd round pick. 14' draft pick is a late round(mid round) pick, and if alex pans out as we all hope that would be a late 4th round pick... I really dont see the big deal in alex playing in 13' and if he sucks we have a high draft pick to get a QB in 14' in a much more promising QB class. and seeing as the raider/cardinal franchises will hope they have there QB from this class we will have less competition in 14' to get our QB and more wiggle room to trade up and down for the QB we want.
