We are holding the Number One pick. Are you excited about the draft?

Someone was needed. I've probably asked you this before, but who would you have at QB? Other than draft Geno, start him, and hope, because every team decided not to go that route and signed a veteran to start.

I would have signed Drew Stanton in free agency and drafted Geno.

I would never trade any picks, much less premium picks, for a game manager.

You can sign any broke dick to be a game manager.

This. The cost was too high. Alex Smith/not worth it.

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.
