Alex Smith to ask for release

If no draft picks are involved, does that change your opinion on bringing him in?

Draft pick, Smith, Stanzi(?) as your QB's in camp.

I pretty much expect these guys to do the right thing and think they will.

Jackson will be either restructured or cut (I'd like to see him restructure and stay, I think he is a good player...just no way he is worth keeping at 15 million bucks) and Cassel will be released.

Then, take that money and give it to Albert and Bowe.

Another thing I'd like to see happen is them to bring back Dorsey on a 1 year deal and see if he can play the 1 gap nose...personally, I think he has what it takes to play that role well.

If nothing else, he deserved to get fired because of that decision. Throw in the amount of ticket sales and lost revenue due to fan apathy, and Scott ***** cost his boss about $60+ million with one stupid !@#$ing decision alone. Then he doubled down on said decision.

Incredible.

Don't forget Tyson Jackson at 3 getting a 57 million dollar contract...and ***** restructuring it in April of 2012 to make it a 2 year 20 million dollar dal.

Cassel and Tyson Jackson are who we thought they were...120 million reasons to be insane.

I don't know what to think of Glenn Dorsey other than big disapointment. Can he even stay healthy? If so then maybe he would be fine, I have my doubts about him being any good from now on. He may show flashes now and then but he hasn't shown anything of being worthy where we took him at. I can live with G Dorsey one more year but he better show something and be able stay healthy. I don't want to take draft picks on the D line this year that is for sure.

I wouldnt be too surprised to see him in buffalo, he wouldnt be a bad choice to pair with their noob head coach, it would give the guy a serviceable, steady pro to help get his new era off on the right foot.

The free agent QB we need to bring in is Hasselbeck. The dude has shown some very important traits:
1) He is willing to usher a new QB in.
2) He can win games as a backup should the QBOTF go down.
3) He can provide veteran leadership to a team that sorely needs it.

But he's ancient and hasn't played well in years

I just checked his contract status and the Titans still have him anyway. But the dude definitely made chicken salad out of chicken shit last year when he was cast into the fire. Ancient or not, he understands the role of a mentor and would be a great fit.

The 1 gap nose is a perfect fit for a guy like Glenn IMO.

In college, his first step was ELITE quality and made him disruptive and that is he he was thought of as such a great prospect...but he could also stop the run with the best of them by 2 gapping (which is what he did most of he time at LSU)...then, we moved to a full time 2 gap defense and that permanently took away the strength of his game which was that dominant first step.

If we put him in a 1 gap nose type roll, that first step comes back and we have a player on our hands.

I would agree with you only if Dorsey can stay healthy and on the field to do so. That is my major concern on Glenn Dorsey.

Mine too.

And it was a concern coming out of college as well. Most of us just didn't want to hear it.

Wow, Scott ***** really is retarded.

Clayton just said on ESPN that had ***** not been fired, Bowe wouldn't have even been offered a contract.

And Jaguars will take him. Teddy Bridgewater will learn behind him for a year in two years.

tool. Always looking to next year like idiots without a clue. Alex Smith wouldn't be good for anyone's team. Take him out of that nurturing talent factory that is SF and he's Cassel. DO NOT WANT.

He's going to want to be a starter and compensated as such. Some team will oblige.
