Who with Harbraugh's coaching could easily turn out better then Smith. Great physical tools just a little raw mentally coming out of school in a pistol offense.

[quote=skinsfaninok;900817]yeah I mean lets be real, Smith sucks[/quote]

I wouldn't say that but he definitely had a David Garrard type year where he had average numbers in terms of yards and TD's but barely through any Int's behind a great defense and running game.

Either way Alex Smith is to San Francisco what Jason Campbell was to us. He'll usually be good but when the system breaks down he has trouble making something happen. To me thats the difference between good and elite, guys that make something happen when the first and second read are gone.

Funny question though, what do the Browns do now? lol, do they go after Peyton? Certainly Weeden would be an interesting choice for them.

Also almost forgot that San Fran traded up for Kapernick

Kapernick can probably play and might surprise.

Probably the best thing for them to do. Plus if I was them I would be going Blackmon with that first pick, as that goes a long way towards addressing their problem with [URL="http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2011/12/receivers_are_the_nfls_best_--.html"]dropped balls[/URL] and then I would use either that second 1st or their 2nd round pick for a RB. LaMar Miller, David Wilson, Doug Martin, LaMichael James, I mean take your pick, though to me Miller and James are the two most intriguing options.....not sure though how Cleveland would feel about a player named James.

The other thing I'd like to see them do is get Richardson, then Michael Floyd if he drops that far but it's much easier to find a running back then it is to find a sure handed receiver. On top of that Cleveland isn't ready to compete for a title yet so drafting a RB in the top 10, even one as good as Richardson, this early in the rebuilding process could easily be a mistake in spite of any success Richardson would go on to have.

Tampa makes a lot more sense seeing as how they already have a lot of the pieces.

They'll probably look at Josh Johnson and Dennis Dixon. Think Miami might take a look at Young. And Nelson's signing probably puts Landry at an advantage with the Jets

Re: 2012 NFL Free Agency Tracker
 

I'm guessing since Flynn signed with Seattle, that Alex Smith's visit isn't needed anymore. Also, why would Miami be interested in Alex Smith? Moore had pretty much identical numbers in 3 fewer games. Keep Moore, draft a rookie and keep on trucking.

I think Flynn will be a solid player in Seattle but not a franchise guy.. Miami is screwed it seems like nobody wants to go there.

Maybe the Jets offer Landry a contract now.

Almost forgot, Alex Smith and Reggie Bush were high school teammates so it would be a reunion of sorts for both players if Smith signed with Miami.

Ironically enough they're looking at Atogwe for safety help.

So I'm assuming sf knows something, or they just don't want Smith back

Re: 2012 NFL Free Agency Tracker
 

I know I'm at least 6ft, but my 123 lb weight ain't fit for pro football, and I have no arm either. You'd all beat me up in 5 seconds(even the ladies can too, probably). lol

At 39 years old you're getting into George Blanda territory, aren't you? Can you kick FG's?

Hell, you're still probably better than Dennis Dixon. The way things are going for the Dolphins, you may just need to wait a week or two before Jeff Ireland wants to sign you.

Doesn't make sense one bit to sign a QB who basically had identical stats. It's not even a side grade, nevertheless upgrade.

Re: 2012 NFL Free Agency Tracker
 

I wish I didn't have mitigating circumstances that would allow me to play football, at 6'2 230 I think I'd be able to play some position.

I'm around 6'4" 205 with poor arm strength. Do you think I can challenge Colt McCoy for his starting job?

Alex Smith and Peyton Manning have the same agent. So I am guessing the agent knows something and is proactively working Smith.

In fact ESPN is throwing the phrase "conflict of interest" around with respect to this situation.

Carolina is San Diego East.

And Tolbert can catch too. He's one badass red zone threat.
