Smith, even with all the criticism he got, never had an offensive coach with a brain, and still has the highest returning QB Rating of all the NFC West starters (Hasselbeck, Leinart/whoever the fuck is in AZ, or Bradford) | ||

Rumors in the bay area are that Al Davis was going to grab him, so the move was smart, and it was a 4th and a 5th. I'd make that trade to secure a QB considering the market for Kolb and Palmer are nearly closed.

If you're a D1 football player and planning on going to the NFL you don't choose Harvard over shit. | ||

I'm a raiders fan and i'm happy the raiders didn't grab him. I think with Harbaugh, he will really develop. He played a lot more west coast style in high school. | ||

He played a lot more west coast style in high school. Thats good to hear, I'm definitely accepting of Kaepernick, I liked both him and Dalton over Gabbert or Locker. Just felt Dalton's college offense fits with the niners and Stanfords style more, and Alex Smith was the last QB we took with a pistol shotgun offense, but I'll deal lol. They just can't rush him, like they rushed Smith, into the starting role. I remember in 2005 when I was crying tears of blood that my Niners wouldn't just pick the local kid Rodgers, especially since Cal is my team. T.T I was biased, but fuck it if the Niners picked Rodgers lol, what a story that would have been. | ||

He's a first round talent that had a suspension the previous year. He made up for it through the East-West/Senior Bowl (forgot which) and strong showings at the Combine and Pro Day. | ||

They will probably pick up a vet quaterback for backup. I think kapernick starts the year after if he's ready. I think Smith was going to get signed no matter what, but once again, the only offensive coach Alex Smith ever had was Norv Turner and Smith played very well that season til he left, with Harbaugh in, I wouldn't be surprised if Alex Smith actually bloomed to be a solid, accurate passer, our playbook has been total shit for years since Norv left. I'm hoping Kaepernick doesn't start this season. But gets clean up time and hopefully a week 16 start due to playoffs being locked up. | ||

Explored options in late 1st round, and also spoke to NE and BUF today. They got their man at pick 36 that makes me believe they got the man they wanted. It could still be possible they had Locker or Ponder on their radar though, since they were picked much earlier on. | ||
