They can go with Kappy, he can can go to Seattle and 49er fans can watch Alex in the playoffs again this year while they get the 8-8 that was going to make them warm and fuzzy last year…

Wouldn’t mind seeing Peyton on the 49ers. Probably an ideal player to tutor Kaepernick.

This is Alex Smith’s best chance to get a big contract….He should .sign with Shanahan and the Skins. they’ll pay him big, plus I think he’s a perfect for Shanahan’s system.

And by “length of contract” we mean “Peyton Manning’s decision”, right?

More folks sipping on the Alex Smith Haterade, again. This guy can’t get a break. Why is it only the douches who have nothing nice to say, are the only ones with the the nuggets to open their gaps? Yeah, Alex Smith had a solid, but unexciting season. The Niners as an organization has been terrible over the last 10 Yeats, not just Alex. Finally, he gets weapons, protection, and coaching all going in the right direction. Give the guy a second season in the same offense, with the same coaching staff and his bevy of weapons. Give him a couple key needed weapons (WR) and watch him succeed.

LOL this turd is actually DECLINING a 3 year offer? The same guy who lead the 29th ranked passing offense and was told by the QB whisperer to play it safe and not turn it over because he has no talent. Yet he thinks he “deserves” a 5 year deal.

Let me tell you something turd. You barely deserve 1. You are like the annoying kid at recess that just won’t go away. Year after year we hear constant excuses on why you can’t develop into a competent pocket passer. Receivers suck, line sucks, playcalling, coaching, etc…….If you want your 5 years, do us all a favor and get the hell out and see how well you fare on the open market.

The day Alex Smith is FINALLY gone is the day I scream “Hallelujah!” at the top of my lungs that whole day.

I am thinking letting him hit the open market only makes it cheaper for him to stay with the 49ers. The 9ers will reward him handsomly for what he did last year, where other teams will pay him less for the way he performed in the NFC Championship game. Whether they get Peyton or get a legit WR, for Alex to throw to, I still like there chances to go far. GO 9ERS!!

Everyone knows that he’s a below average starter even with the offense tailored to minimize his weaknesses. Smith needs to take whatever offer the 49ers make, and hope that defense can carry him to the playoffs again.

Don’t say thinkgs like “Alex Smith might go to Seattle”, I really don’t want to break out the pitchforks, fire and brimstone and storm Seahawks HQ in protest. 9rs can keep him.

Some info for the writer, Scott Mcalcoholic wasnt the GM that drafted him, yes he was employed by the niners but he was Mike Nolan’s and Mike McCarty’s choice.

They need to give their late first round pick to the Steelers for Mike Wallace because they can’t depend on Ted Ginn.

The parties should be able to come to an agreement – Smith won’t find too many other suitors and except for the off chance the 49ers can sign Peyton, there are not many free agents who are a big step up from Smith.

SF fans need to hope that Smith performs like he did against the Saints, rather than the type of game he had against the Giants.

I knew all Smith wanted out of this contract was a commitment by the organization. I don’t think it’s about money as much as it is a “You said I’m your guy, I did what was asked of me now prove it.”

Time to cut the cord, and devote the cap space to Peyton. Win big now, AND groom Kaepernick and/or Tolzien for the future.

He should be happy with what they are offering him. He sucked for so long and they kept him around and pretty much gave him a lot of money for doing nothing except for last year. And its not like he is coming off a small salary. He has been getting paid as a no. 1 overall pick before the rookie salary cap started.

49ers, hold your ground.

Alex was good last year, but not great. Would like to see him back but we cannot treat him like the future of this team.

Alex already scalped the team for 6 years, no sense in getting jobbed again.

Fool me once, same on you, fool me twice…

Even 3 years is too much for him. I honestly don’t see it as he’s obviously the weak link on that team…

He should be just happy with backup QB money because the 49ers might be the ONLY team to offer him starting QB money.

Smith’s not getting more that 3 years guaranteed cos Kap will be ready then. I can see 4 years with 4th voidable.

Can’t see Peyton happening tho. Baalke is building through the draft and realistically if we add some vet wr help (hello V-Jax!) we’ve got enough talent to make a sb run next year.

By: chipwade

chipwade — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 20:47:29 +0000

Don’t pay that guy a lot of guaranteed money! Charlie Whitehurst is a free agent and just as average as Smith.

Smith isn’t very good at all. He’s way too inconsistent. If you are going to pay a QB that kind of money go out and get Flynn.

alex should take the deal no one will offer him more than the 49ers.

49ers just delaying until they figure out they cant get Peyton
