You're basically saying that you wasted a 2nd round pick and a $9 million dollar salary on a ****ing backup.

Or you spent a 2nd round pick to have two chances at finding your franchise guy. I think between the two of them they're making $11.5M. That's certainly about average I would think in terms of QB + backup QB compensation.

I had a lengthy post on this earlier in the thread, I'm not going to rehash. They're not putting all their eggs in one basket, they're maximizing their chances they find a solution at the QB situation with a minimal investment.

Matt Cassel came in and Pioli handed him a $60M contract. Alex Smith comes in and they bring in Chase Daniel to compete with him.
