When he hits the market, an eight year veteran with excellent leadership skills will be sought after. Whether it's Buffalo, NY Jets, Tennessee, KC, Philly, Arizona, etc., he will choose where he lands.
You mother****ing dumbass. I'm absolutely SICK of explaining shit to dummies like you. |
You must be a closet Alex Smith fan if you think he's a solid veteran with excellent leadership without question marks to his name thanks to Harbaugh. Before Harbaugh was here, people were questioning whether Alex Smith could even be a backup in the NFL, now he's a certified starter in the league, no questions asked?
I'm actually the one getting sick of having to explain logic to you koolaid sipping morons.
If the entire league thinks Harbaugh had more to do with Smith's success in the last two seasons, teams will not jump all over Smith to have him on their roster. The niners know they have until Mid March to deal Smith and they will work towards that, or they will release him. Right now, the Niners have full control of the situation because they are the ones who are going to lose from this deal. They are just trying to minimize how little they truly lose. Smith isn't going to gain much because its basically a 90% guarantee that Smith cannot duplicate his success without Harbaugh, and teams know this. Thus, teams aren't going to jump all over him as a starter.
Trust me, there's going to be 15 teams with interest in him, but only a FEW and I mean FEW teams will consider starting him, despite the fact that he COULD start for 2/3rds of the teams in the NFL.
I'm not sure why you are having such a hard time understand that concept, but you need to do less talking and more reading. Perhaps obtain a "GM for Dummies" book and flip to chapter 7 "Knowing when not to chase Quality Backup QB's to start for your team". There's an interesting segment there referencing the Chiefs, I think you'll like it. Has great pictures.
