I mentioned last year that Shanahan likes Leinart (like him 5 years ago at least) and that there were rumors Leinart might be with the Skins via a trade (for a late conditional pick). It's still possible, but less likely now I think. Leinart's a free agent and I don't believe he wants to be here, prefers to stay out west (Though if Jeff Fisher comes calling, that might be different)

The Alex Smith speculation I seem to have started here is based more on what I know of what type of QB may interest them (and a couple other things), but the name Alex Smith has been only casually mentioned in passing. So, if you were to ask me what FA QB they going after based on information directly given I'd tell you Leinart, Bulger, or even JaMarcus Russell before I said Alex Smith. But if you read between some of the lines (lines which I know not everyone has access to read). Similarly, when you-the collective you-asked last year about who the Redskins would draft. The conventional names I gave were Russell Okung, Eric Berry...but reading between the lines it was Trent Williams.

If Alex Smith was given a shot i wouldnt b*tch too much, but geez watching him play bout 5 different times over the season...he was pretty bad. It really seemed to me the 49ers offensive cordinator(s) were all pretty effing bad which didnt help. I just think it would be an automatic Grossman could play just as well. If you bring another vet in, the assumption must be he has the potential to start over Grossman. Vince Young, Matt Lienart I could see given a shot......Alex Smith is iffy IMO
