Mike Garrafolo

Chiefs likely to pass on QB Nick Foles' option for 2017, making him a free agent-to-be, sources say. Was due $6.4m (not the reported $10.4m)

Some of you ungrateful posters forget what it's like to be in the cellar as well, so for that I'm appreciative of what Alex brings to the table.

1) I have not claimed Bray is the answer at #1

2) Having been a fan since 1981, I have not forgotten what cellar dwelling feels like

3) Consistent winning seasons are good medicine for a club in the doldrums like we were, but that is no excuse to stand pat with the guy who helped us get there... when, 4 years later, it has become painfully clear that he has maxed out

When was the last time a qb other than Alex Smith swept our divison rivals?

[The Franchise]

Some of you 49er/Alex Smith fan boys are ****ing dumb as shit.

1. I could count on both of my hands the number of posters on here calling for Bray to start over Smith.

2. Most people were fine with Smith coming in as a stop gap and bringing the team back to a winning tradition.

3. He's obviously in decline and should have been gone before this last season. 15 TDs and two game changing INTs are not worth $17 million.

I didn't say that you said anything... anything of substance!

He played a role in it, but dont go putting it on his shoulders... he rode one of the most opportunistic defenses of modern times

He tossed just under 1 touchdown a game this year, that ****ing sucks no matter how you spin it around

[The Franchise]

Literally the only game that I can put on Alex.....was Week 1 vs. the Chargers. He won that game. Unfortunately he also shit the ****ing bed for the first 3 quarters.

His mental and physical makeup ensures it, if you havent seen enough to understand that by now... then you never will

Ok ...

Sure.

But drafting QB's just to draft QB's is a recipe for failure.

The same guys are winning every single year. You can't just draft a guy 1st overall (Jared Goff) and expect Aaron Rodgers and 17 years of being the New England Patriots.

Tired of the complaining. We have Reid and Dorsey and it seems like they are loading up the roster with talent. Getting QB's isn't as easy as snapping your fingers and praying we draft someone 27th overall who will Tom Brady us to 2 decades of parades.

"BUT WE HAVE TO TRY!"

Shut UP we get it. Jesus.

[Hootie]

(which is why we should sell out for Romo - but the majority of this board is so bad at judging what an actual good QB is they think Romo sucks, too)

It's like Rodgers or bust around here.

[ModSocks]

This just opens the door to bring in Romo....

No point in having Foles as your back up when you have the perfect backup QB on the roster: Alex Smith.

Ok, j/k. But seriously though, i don't see what Foles does that Bray couldn't do.

If we need a guy to carelessly throw into traffic, Bray can do that. Strong arm? Bray has that. Hold a clipboard? Bray can do it with the best of 'em.

Go ahead and dredge up my posts saying "draft a QB any damn QB I dont care who"

Gonna be here off and on all day, so we'll see what you can come up with

Yes, I like our one-two punch at GM/HC

Dorsey has been outstanding, he continues to shop very very well

Guarantee I'll like Reid a helluva lot more once he ditches Smiff as well, he certainly has warts but his schemes work, he gets receivers open

[O.city]

Romo said he can play for 2 or 3 more years. Sign me up for that

[Hootie]

I'm just saying, like I told the drafturbators years ago ...

if it was as simple as drafting a QB early to find a franchise QB ... I mean, all 32 teams would have a franchise QB.

It's hard to win 12 games in the NFL. It's hard to have 4 straight winning seasons. We have lost playoff games to Andrew Luck, Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger during the Reid tenure.

I'd love 1 of those 3 guys to be available to replace Smith with ... but in the mean time, the idea of winning 1 game being better than winning 12 in case we might be able to draft Jared Goff 1 time ... seems pretty ****ing stupid to me.

These guys are paid to win football games and there hasn't been 1 clear instance where the passed on any sort of QB that anyone knew was going to be a sure thing. Derek Carr looks like he might end up being a good QB but no one actually knows that. And he was a 2nd round pick - so you can't just sit there and say, "omg! Carr! Wilson!" and cherry pick the exceptions when there are dozens of rules that don't work out.

Nothing I've seen in 4 years of Reid/Dorsey suggests to me that they don't want a good NFL QB. Alex Smith bores the living **** out of me and I'd love to see a different guy behind center but I'll maintain being rational in the mean time.

[The Franchise]

ESPN's Ed Werder reports Tony Romo expects to be released.

That is instead of being traded. The Cowboys will certainly attempt to find a trading partner, but it does not make much sense for anyone to trade for a soon-to-be-37 quarterback who has played five games in the last two seasons with most of that missed time due to injury. If the Cowboys want to do right by Romo, it also makes the most sense to let him pick his next destination, although he will certainly have some say in trade negotiations as well. As for his future, Werder reports Romo believes he can play two-to-three more seasons.

[Hootie]

Romo is a no-brainer. Unfortunately, this has Denver written all over it.

If Dorsey goes after him and fails, it will only be because Romo, like Manning, wants a glamour team to ride into the sunset on... he would probably even take less from Elway to go there
