Maybe I'm just an idiot, but it sucked when we found out we got Alex Smith and knew we probably weren't getting Geno, because of that 2nd. I felt like this year would have been a good year to find a pretty decent prospect at the top of the 2nd. Even if the QB we got in the 2nd sat for a year behind Alex, that would have been acceptable to me. But...we gave up the 2nd.

Then again, maybe I'm just being overly negative and we can draft just as good of a QB prospect in the 3rd.

:hmmm: Sometimes? :drool:

Then we'd have an awful QB situation. The fact the Cards signed Stanton, and still brought in Palmer, (who at this point isn't as good as Smith) tells you Stanton isn't a starter, and no team is counting on Geno to start. We'd be a team without a starter.

What's is a game manager? Someone who is just along for the ride? Someone that you just count on not to lose a game? If so Alex Smith is better than that. We'll see, but I think many here are way undervaluing him as a QB. Again, we'll see.

What has he done in his 8 year career to suggest he is?

His best years playing came when you couldn't have asked him to do anything less in terms of winning games.

I'd bring up the last two years, but I've been told by the anti AS crowd they don't count.

You mean that last 2 years where he wrote the definition of game manager?

Solid argument.

He threw for just 3100 yards in 2011 and what was he on pace for last year? <3000?

Can you be more useless as a QB?

Good argument. Didn't throw a ton of yards= game manager. Seriously everyone that brings up yardage totals as the measuring stick for QB quality, I don't get it. A lot of average QBs can throw for a lot of yards. 4000 yards means you threw it a lot, not you're awesome. The 49ers didn't throw it a ton, even when CK came in

AS did more than not lose games. Go watch them.

CK was on pace for 3500 yards and 600 yards rushing.

ROFL Boy, you sure must really get enjoyment from the draft.

That's great. 350 more than AS threw the year before.

So is the argument you're making that AS CAN'T throw for more yards?

... CK is a dual threat QB, moron. Nearly 1000 yards more offense out of the QB position... while maintaining the same TD:INT ratio.

Oh shut the **** up you idiot. I'm not bashing CK.

No longer excited about the draft now that I know we're taking an OT.

But I am excited for the season.

Axl and Jokel will suck. Not excited for either.
