which is exactly why he's playing on a two year contract.

if you believe he's a franchise player, you give him a nice, healthy extension while he's at a lower point of value. you get him cheaper. when he has a few insane seasons (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA), you pay him more.

Why would he be at a lower point of value now? You just gave up two early draft picks for him. He will be at a lower value in two years when he is 30.

That makes no sense at all.

How does it make no sense? Smith has more bargaining power in extension negotiations right now because you just gave up two early round draft picks for him. If you wait, you can either sign him if he is worth it, or let him go if he stunk it up.

Reid thought that Kolb and then Vick were franchise QBs.

I said it for years.

I said it when Reid was hired.

Over rated.

Alex Smith is a game manager.

Nothing more.

I don't think Reid thought either Vick, or Kolb were franchise QBs.

I'm far from thrilled we spent another early R2 pick on a game manager, but I'm more concerned with the future of the QB position than the "right now."

If they feel its important to spend their first two picks on the right now and the future, I'm all for it.

Yup

Gave Vick 100 million and traded Kolb for a second and a first round quality corner.

He absolutely saw both as franchise guys.

Kolb might be a question, but like o city points out, you don't give Vick the contract he got if you don't belive him to be a franchise QB, unless you're an idiot.

I'm sure Reid was on board, but blame the GM for the amount.
