Paid way too much for a QB on the downside of his career, would have rather have built up the D and O, signed Keenum and take my chances + drafted a future QB.

They may take a chance on a QB earlier than anyone here would want is my sneaking suspicion. Someone to learn behind Smith for a few years before he retires. But my question is, is there some late round project player at QB that we can do that with? - I would hate if they used one of the top 3 picks to draft a qb when there are so many other needs. My worst nightmare - at this point - is if Baker Mayfield is available at 13, that Dan will make that pick. I like baker, i do, but i just dont think its the right time after acquiring smoith and having so many other holes. --- hell i wanted to draft the kid if cousins left, so i may eat my words, BUT - - I really have hopes that this f/o is getting better.

How is AS on the downside? Most QB's with good protection (even terrible protection in Eli's case) are playing till 38-40 (Brees just signed a 2 year extension at 39) AND AS has definitely improved the last few years including his deep ball. Even if he only has 4 years left, 2 -3 of those years will be better than anything Case would do with our team, and at 3-5M less per year

If anything, Alex Smith is liken to Rich Gannon. Gannon played his best football in his twilight years of his career. Smith has steadily gotten better and has seen no decline in his play. Instead, his career has trended upward.

I think people will always second guess the moves this franchise makes until they win a Super Bowl. We have to question every little thing. Keenum could very well be a one-hit wonder. Alex Smith has proven that he can take a team to multiple playoff appearances. He's more athletic than Keenum and fits this offense better. It was an outstanding move by our FO to make the play for Alex Smith. Had we not gotten him and wound up with Teddy Bridgewater, can you just imagine the bitching we would've heard from fans?

I don't like the trade but Smith is coming off his best season. He's hardly on the downside of his career.
