meh didn't think the window was that tight. I was more impressed with how he bought time by moving and went through progressions. That is something that he does far better than we've had or would have with McCoy for those calling for him.

True, Kirk would have thrown it away after his 2nd read. They are not the same QBs, Kirk is a better passer but I still say Alex is a better decision maker.

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.

I found this interesting...I start to look at the CBS Mock Drafts around this time to get familiar with the prospects. For the first time, I saw they has the kid from WV, Grier as our pick late teens first round.

I wouldn't be opposed to getting a young QB in now to learn under Smith. Make sense to me. I don't know if I want to spend a first though...thoughts?

He's pretty good, reminds me a little of Mayfield. But taller. He prob wont last that long since we are going to have the 32nd pick

No way does Grier make it past the Giants. Sucks too cause he is exactly what we need.

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.

I can't tell if Smith is that bad or our WR's just don't create any space.

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.

I keep saying it, but seriously...why not give McCoy a shot? He knows the offense better than anyone, and he can’t be any worse than Smith. He also plays with a LOT of energy. Smith looks like a falling asleep idiot out there.

He might allow Gruden to open it up.

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.

A QB change at 6-3 sounds brilliant

No potential for disaster there

Alex is our QB folks, time to accept that we’re not a high flying passing offense right now

The ineptitude of management is no match for a fan base.

Yeah...like letting Cousins and McVay walk. We NEVER had a problem putting up yards and points on offense, it was always the defense the that was the problem. Now we have a really good defense and an idiot at QB with a coach who’s once high flying offense is now dumpster juice

So are you proposing taking a third year head coach, one that just finished his second consecutive winning season (the first time that has happened since 1996 and 1997 for the Skins) and won a divisional title and canning him to promote the OC? Don't get me wrong I would have loved to have kept McVay but if management had pulled that a. The skins lose any collateral they have been building up in the NFL coaching community pulling shit like that. b. There is no way McVay would take that knowing the exact same thing could happen to him in a few years. Basically the Skins would have lost both their HC and their OC. Could they have given him a "pay raise" position and kept him? maybe but I doubt it.

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.

Let me be CLEAR here. Smith BLOWS really bad. We could have saved the money and given McCoy a chance. (A guy who knows the offense better than anyone and plays with energy).

Instead we spent a draft pick, Fuller and how much on this idiot!!!??

No need to disrespect the guy by calling him names. Let’s grow up.
