I hate to do it, don't want him to get big headed about it, but after reading thru threads, I have to agree with Dane.
DJ's LN said it the other day, frankly, Alex Smith is probably the best option available for 2013, which judging from what we've heard, at this point thats all they want him to do.
Their obviously going to trade back, get some extra picks and draft the QB they like best in the 2/3 round, to learn/compete this year and next.
They can get picks, get a guy they like in the first, draft a guy like Tyler Bray (who from a skillset is probably better than anyone in this class, but is not coached well and reportedly dumb) groom him and roll from there.
Pioli's problem wasn't bringing in Cassel. Yes, judging from hindsight we know as a QB evaluator he's shit, but if he didn't like Sanchez he shouldn't draft him. No, bringing in Cassel wasn't a problem, it's what they did after that was the problem.
We're bringing in Alex Smith, who is league average to above average with a good team around him and good coaching to stop gap while they find the right guy to lead the franchise. Unlike Pioli, they aren't going to stop looking until either a) They draft and develop the guy to lead it or b) Alex Smith shows that he is that guy.
Yeah, it's not the move we wanted. But like we've been told and refused to listen, you can't force it. Reid and Dorsey haven't been the GM/Coach in charge these last 30 years, let it play out.
Flame away.
