It'd sure be nice to have enough cap room to grab a couple good free agents

**** I'm tired of hearing about Smith's salary. The guy is dirt cheap by nfl starting qb standards. It's one thing to want to upgrade the talent level, but the bitching about his contract is total ignorance.

That's what has driven me nuts over the years. They will never reap the reward of developing a franchise QB until they take that chance. The only thing they've proven over and over is retread QBs are not the answering to being a dominant NFL franchise.
The amount of money, let alone the time spent chasing their tale has got to be staggering. Money spent on retreads has got to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars. But, at the end of the year it pays off for them.
Sometimes I need a season like this to snap my dumb ass back to reality. My team isn't here to win us championships. They're here to make money.

Lulls them to sleep with a devastating horizontal passing attack, high incomplete passes and Red Zone interceptions- then- BAMM a twenty ****ing yard pass downfield. That is hard to stop.

What makes you think that Foles will sign an extension for cheaper than Alex Smith is currently playing at? He has a salary bump to 10 million next year because he wants to start. He will only extend for starter money and it's rare to sign a starter for cheap these days.

Only Dalton is cheaper than Smith(other than rookie deals/backup bumped up)

IIRC, his cap hit is almost $18M this season. I'm guessing that makes him the 10-12th highest paid QB in the league.

Are we getting 10-12th QB production?

I have a hard time believing we can't get 213 yards passing and .85 TD's a game out of damn near anyone else at a MUCH lower cost.

Guess it just depends on who the 49er backup is at the time. As of now we will get Gabbert.

Foles gets shit on too much around here IMO, give him a full offseason/camp as the starter and he'd pleasantly surprise people I'd bet... he would damn sure play a more exciting brand of football while we wait for the rookie to mature

Same Foles released by two teams....

You realize how many times you and others have played out these scenarios and yet it is known nothing will be done. 20-4. Likely to be 22-4 before the offseason

Quit wasting your time

I dont really know where his contract stands among other starters, and that wasnt really my point... the point is that a cheaper contract would help free up room for free agents

A rookie might throw game-changing interceptions.
