WHy not just pay brandon albert, get that deal DONE and use the pick on something awesome....?
Matt Flynn was available for a 5th rounder if we needed a stop gap
hell i bet we couldve got ALex Smith for a 3rd rounder if we didnt act like a 30 year old virgin sniffing panties for the 1st time

while i agree that 2 2nd rounders is too much compensation for smith i don't see eye to eye with you when u say smith is just a stop gap. To me, he is a possible future franchise qb who has what it takes to move the chains and win many games or if he reverts towards his old ways, a stop gap qb. Heck even if we got exactly what he did in sf i would consider him way more than a stop gap but if andy reid, being the qb guru that he is, can squeeze just a bit more out of him as he's entering the prime of his career, then smith can be a legit franchise qb.
We might disagree on that but stop with the stupid matt cassel comparisons. Yes, he looked like cassel when he didn't play well a few snaps but so did every other qb when they had bad plays. You can't pick a few plays out and say THIS IS CASSEL. it's also preseason. please calm down. alex smith before his 2 good seasons had horrible ps games and went on to have good seasons
