Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
People will line up for the job. It is one of 32 in the world and ten will open this spring. The problem I have is firing him due to injuries. The bigger question is who do you go after. I start calling Michigan Monday morning.

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
I’ll eat my crow. I was wrong about McCoy. Thought he would run the offense better than Smith. Thought he’d succeed. I was wrong and openly admit it.

Quite possible he is going to keep playing like that but I am gonna give him at least one single practice rep with the first team before I write him off as being able to improve our offense enough to win the division. We saw flashes yesterday and you cannot deny him and Reed are on the same page. Maybe some film of himself and not someone else and a little practice will help him with the turnovers. You can keep my crow in the freezer until at least next Tuesday. |

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
I think he did a much better job of leading the receivers than AS. How many times has Davis been wide open and Smith over/under/not even been close to him? CM did have some piss poor throws and the turnovers are always going to be higher with CM, but 23 points was kind of the high point for an AS run offense. CM it will be the standard.

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
Alex is a stand up guy, he could take a pay cut or even retire if he isn't able to play at his standard. Long ways to go on that.

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
The lack of not drafting a QB to groom this year is going to hurt, I suggest they find someone next year. It doesn’t have to be a 1st round pick, just someone with potential who can learn quickly.

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
I think that Alex will be here next year, if just for the cap hit reasons alone.
The team needs to bite the bullet and go for a top talent, 1st round draft pick. we won't be a playoff caliber team until we get a premium QB at the helm. Alex and Colt are not the answer except as place holders.

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
The article by Schefter is entitled “Smiths return not certain “. Lol. Matty he is a 34 year old quarterback who just sustained a major major injury. I think him not returning is a completely legit option. The thing is that whether he does or not we are probably screwed. Cap hell either way because he was not the answer. We locked him up like he was Aaron Rodgers. |

I read the article didn’t see anything that said “good chance” he doesn’t return. I know we have a lot of weekend MD’s here but the only thing I took from that was it’s wait and see mode right now. We’ll know more in a few months as he starts to heal. |

ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
Quote:
I do not think it takes an armchair MD to come to the conclusion that his return is uncertain, or even leaning towards no. Old, wasn’t playing that great, major injury. Again, even if he heals up incredibly fast and easy do you feel good about him as our starter? If he was playing scared before the injury he is going to be a shell of a shell of a shell upon a possible return. |

Couple vets who could be available this offseason Ryan Crapinnhill, Joe Flacfuck, and Crappy Dalton...

Cant draft one unless he is the potential answer going forward. We got way too many holes , wr’s, db’s, oline, to draft a quarterback that might pan out. Id rather ride with colt or alex another year - address those other needs- and see who is available in the next draft. |

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
One player to watch, Nick Mullens SF 49ers. Depending on what he does the rest of the season, the niners might trade him next season.
