Alex Smith sucks. - The Orange Mane

Kaylore · 11-12-2007, 10:38 PM

Wow. Talk about crappy. He's somewhere between last year and his rookie year. Just a terrible QB.

Los Broncos · 11-12-2007, 10:42 PM

Not good at all, the o-line is killing him.

Pezman · 11-12-2007, 10:43 PM

Looking at all the #1 QB draft picks over the past 10 years, I'm inclined to say that the failure rate for such a high end pick is startling to say the least. He might be good in another year, but right now he has Tim Couch qualities.

That's no excuse. The guy has been terrible since he came into the league. Norv brushed him up, but he's really fallen off since his departure.

Doggcow · 11-12-2007, 10:44 PM

Cutler looks like a god in comparison to all the recent QB's out of the draft. I'm really excited about our future.

yavoon · 11-12-2007, 10:45 PM

in alex's defense he would PROBABLY be passable on a good team.

I'm not making an excuse, i was just saying.

-Slap- · 11-12-2007, 10:57 PM

Somehow he campaigned his way into that top selection. The kid has a very dim future.

ward63 · 11-12-2007, 11:05 PM

That QB class wasn't good at all. Him or Aaron Rodgers? I'd just passed at taken next best option.

It might be time for me to apologize to Marc Wilson.

I agree. He just looks like he is scared to death out there. He has totally regressed from the way he was last year.

Jason Cambell is the best QB from that draft. '05 was a terrible year to have a high draft pick. Braylon Edwards is the only player from the top-10 that is playing up to their draft status (Ronnie Brown was too until his injury).

Cedric Benson going 4th overall and Troy Williamson 7th shows how bad that draft class was.

-Slap- · 11-12-2007, 11:22 PM

Man, you're right. That's probably even worse than the 2003 class.

Depends on your point of view!

With all the #1 money he got, he's going to be living right for a long, long time.

I want to be a #1 pick!

Orange_Beard · 11-12-2007, 11:23 PM

Kills me when you read these threads around here about "fans" wanting to lose games so we can get a high draft pick....

bpc · 11-12-2007, 11:24 PM

Yep, SF just had the crappy luck of bombing during a bad talent year and having to overpay for a average QB.

-Slap- · 11-12-2007, 11:35 PM

Must have been fun to root for the Niners when DeBartolo owned them under no salary cap.

Northman · 11-12-2007, 11:40 PM

My Goodness, Tim Couch had better passing skills than Smith.

Drek · 11-12-2007, 11:59 PM

I said it in 2005, I'll say it again. If Leinart had come out early Smith and Rodgers don't make it in the first round. The only reason Green Bay took Rogers is he looked pretty comparable to a #1 selection QB. I'm not saying Leinart is god but he actually can play a little football, Smith is a mentally and physically gifted individual but he's not a football player.

SF should've taken Braylon Edwards. Then they could've had their pick of Cutler or Leinart instead of Vernon Davis, who's always injured. But no, they fell into the "we got the #1 pick, gotta take a QB" mindset and they've shot themselves in the foot for the next half decade.

They should see what the Browns want for Quinn. He's actually a gamer.

WR's flop pretty damn often too.

I would never root for that mafiosa POS. ask Harry Bridges (RIP) what he thought about Eddie's daddy.

BTW, if anyone wants to look it up, I believe I said Braylon Edwards was the best player in that draft. Too bad he has been slowed by injuries the last two year.

Requiem · 11-13-2007, 12:09 AM

Lols!

-Slap- · 11-13-2007, 12:17 AM

The lack of fire from the 49ers tonight was pretty disgusting. Bad enough they can't show up for a nationally televised game, but you would think they might at least avoid getting skunked. I actually thought they might be extra fired up to play well for Coach Nolan tonight.
