I see him as a guy who needs to improve his 50/50 to something closer to 75/25 and then we can talk about what he is after that.
If not, I am certain Dorsey is going to find himself a QB that can do something in the order of 75 % during big games. It is what all good FO guys find, whether it's FA (Young, etc) or the draft.
If not, bye bye Dorsey. But let's at least let the new staff play a pre season game and maybe even a regular game or three before we go all wendler on them. |
There is another thing that is hardly brought up.
When people diss on Alex Smith, they fail to mention that John Dorsey, who knew Matt Flynn very well, also said that Alex Smith was the best option.
So you are talking about them passing on Matt Hasselbeck, Kevin Kolb, who was his best under Reid, Carson Palmer, who is very familiar with the West Coast offense, and Matt Flynn, and of all those options, who all could of been had for cheaper, they paid the biggest price for Alex Smith. They really like the guy. Foolish or not, is yet to be seen. Luckily, not too much longer to wait. 6 weeks till opening day.
