Pace will probably trade a couple of first round picks for him. :-) [Reply]

I agree. However, I don't know that I would place much of the blame on him for the Indy game. [Reply]

He missed one throw that should've been a TD and he had that killer fumble, but other than that, he was as good as you could ask. Most of the blame for that game rests on Kendrick Lewis. [Reply]

They would be un-wise to cut ties with Alex. He had that terrible team first in their division, without him they are now one of the worst unthought about teams in the league.
Keep him, draft a qb, and move forward. Haskins isn’t the answer. Why waste time unless they don’t care about winning [Reply]
like haskins or not hes clearly not up to speed yet, let him and alex compete if he wins it honestly its a win win. im sure they traded for smith with the intent of grooming a guy behind him. [Reply]
Smith’s dead cap number if cut this year is $32 million. Never mind that idea.
They just spent big draft capital on Haskins. It would be silly to pull the plug after an abbreviated year in which he played better towards the end. He’s a raw prospect but does have impressive physical tools.
Whatever Alex Smith has left in the tank, they’re better served long-term to find out what they have with Haskins. Sitting him in favor of a guy who still walks with a limp would be a bad idea, IMO. [Reply]

its not pulling the plug, he got benched for keenum anyway. let him sit and learn and hopefully his career trajectory looks more like mahomes and less like Mariota or winston. [Reply]
