Smith isn't going to play like he did last year ever again.

Alex smith would be an ok stop gap maybe play while Reid gets Geno ready

He was playing even better this year before the concussion. But the bottom line is that he was never in Harbaugh's long term plans.

I can think of way worse scenarios than Alex Smith paired with Andy Reid for a few years.

he didn't do them any favors in winning it, either

he had at least 2, I'm thinking 3 possessions in overtime to win the game and he was awful

I remember watching the game and seeing Eli just getting hammered by the 49ers defense and the 49ers offense not being able to get a single 1st down and thinking "this game is going to be won by whoever makes the first awful mistake" and sure enough...

The 49ers got to the Super Bowl this year because of Kaepernick and his explosive offense...

they almost got there because of ridiculous defense against the Giants (albeit Smith was pretty damn good when it mattered against the Saints)

either way, I don't want Alex Smith. Just draft a damn QB at #1.

Smith will have far more attractive options than holding down the fort for eight games.

If they take a QB at #1 overall, I don't want to hear ANY excuses: That mother****er better start DAY ONE.

If we want to bring in Alex Smith to bridge the gap until a rookie is ready, that's one thing.

Bringing him in here to be the long term answer is silly.

15 positions of need?

Get the **** out of here.

Yep, he better.

And if they bring in Alex Smith, we better make the playoffs.

Alex Smith will get a starting job somewhere. No doubt.

Well we only had six probowlers and another first alternate.

15 is what is left

He did more than Brady the following week. He also didn't fumble.

There is NO guarantee that the top QB in the draft picks up where Smith left off this season in San Fran.

I think it all depends on Reid's opinion of the QB's in this draft. If he sees a guy that will be ready in two years, I could see Smith signed in KC. If its less than two years, it needs to be a guy like Matt Moore.

Alex Smith also can't finish drives and is terrible in the red zone at getting 6. At least he was last year.

I just don't want the guy. He's an average QB, that's a big upgrade for us and all but I'd rather just ****ing draft a guy for crying out loud.

When is any rookie QB drafted these days not started immediately?

It's been awhile. I think Eli was the last guy who sat.

Yeah, it's definitely been a while. That's why Alex Smith is a terrible idea of a stop gap if they're choosing a QB #1 overall.

The guy wants to start and should be a starter somewhere.
