So picking Kapernick is a signal to me that they are going to use smith this year and develop kapernick. 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.
as bad as the playcalling has been, Smith is just plain old shit. Crap arm strength, wildly inconsistent with 15+yd throws as far as accuracy, is touted as a smart player when he's anything but... please give me david carr instead of ever seeing that idiot in a niners jersey again. At least Carr is a man as proven by him always playing through 8 sacks a game in Texas... Smith such a little sissy it's incredible. The dude gets mentally rattled over the littlest things
and that once season with Norv was not anything spectacular. It's certainly worth noting that Gore had nearly 1,700 on the ground alone plus nearly another 500 in the air... any NFL level qb, regardless of experience, should be able to hit the benchmarks he did in that season with Gore being as dominant as he was.
Gah I looked up Smith's wiki while writing this and got to view the nice quote that retard egomaniac Mike Nolan said about not drafting Rodgers because he couldn't get along with that attitude. FUCK YOU.
Id take any other vet at this point over him, if only just to move on past that huge mistake.
Kaepernick, I was not too crazy about. But the sooner he sees the field, the better imo. You can only gain so much from studying film and the playbook. The sooner he gets used to playing with the team in real situations, the better he'll be off
I'd take any random fill in vet over Smith at this point

with denver not drafting a dt, this is pretty damn plausible. This is very surprising to me. Orton is much higher value than Haynesworth at this point. Unless there are picks or more players being thrown in, Quinn for Haynesworth would make a lot more sense.
The problem with that is... Brady Quinn sucks.

The falcons move is pretty shocking. So much value given away. I think the owner has convinced himself that his team is a bit better in totality than it actaully is...

I agree. I still think Green is the better player, but Jones has some serious upside. Physically, he reminds me of a young TO or a Boldin type player who is just dominating with the ball. The dude has a serious case of the dropsies though... and even if he didn't have that, that's still a shitload of stuff to give up for a guy who isn't even the clear cut best at his position in the draft.

And Haynesworth missed most of training camp because he couldn't pass a conditioning test even I can pass. Plus the guy played 8 games (eventually getting suspended for "conduct detrimental to the club") and got 13 tackles and 2.5 sacks for the season. Trading Orton for that would be vastly overpaying.

Another piece to consider is that Haynesworth's contract is pretty much dirt cheap moving forward. The Redskins used the uncapped year and paid Haynesworth a bunch of money to make the yearly salary extremely managable. If a 4-3 team takes a flyer and trades for him and gets any production out of him at all, they will win big. That said, there are some pretty IFs in that statement.
Edit - I actually like the Cowboys draft this year. They finally drafted a much needed OT and they got one who will play from day 1. Beyond that, they filled some needs but didnt reach for them. Instead of reaching they picked up some quality players that may not have been a need but certainly could become starters in a couple years.

Some guy called into a radio station in Detroit once, and was seriously saying that the Lions should trade Ndamukong Suh for Haynesworth.

Awhile ago, there was big talk in the DC area about a trade with Detriot involving draft picks. Dc would get picks, Detriot would get Haynesworth, and Haynesworth would get the coach he loved back.

God i hope the Eagles take Burress. We already have the most ghetto trash team ever and if he could work back to his old level might as well. Having a "big" WR would be amazing, and no Riley Cooper doesn't count.

I'm actually under the impression that Washington has A LOT of cap room to play with. Still though it's Washington, I can see them squandering away whatever cap space they have regardless.

That would either be a feast or famine type of deal there with him. It would give the eagles a long ball guy who can pluck it out of the air, and Burress would probably face single coverage all day as a #2 or slot guy with safety going to Djax. However, there's the issue of his stupid huge ego, and the fact and integrating him into a limited offense that is catered to Vick's skillsets.
Vick-Jackson works because Djax has got the speed to get under the many passes that Vick is off target with. Burress is a guy who is better suited to punishing small corners with passes that are thrown to an area where he and only he can go get it. Vick, even with improvements, is not the type of guy who can finesse it into those spots consistently.
