		<description><![CDATA[There is a lot of venom on here in regards to Alex. While I understand, but do not share, your displeasure isn&#039;t it going a little far to spew hate for him personally? In every comment section there are at least a few people that attack this guy as a person. What has he ever done as a human being to deserve that? 

As for his underperformance, I won&#039;t go through this dudes resume and nitpick. It&#039;s a waste of all our times... Bottom line is.. What have you done for me lately? That&#039;s what the NFL is about nowadays. Call him a game manager if you want, but the 9ers had success so I&#039;m willing to re-up him and see if he can improve.

As for this D-Bag &quot;Hairbow&quot; guy above... Get real and stop hating. Go comment on something else. You add nothing to the conversation here.]]></description>

Hairbow lied to Smith. He threw him under the bus because of his man crush for the Swamp Boy. He’s lucky he has Smith or he might have to QB the 49ers himself.

All Hairbow slappies can give me a thumbs down even though you know the above is true.

I did make sure to give you a thumbs down because the above is just name calling-not even skillful name calling, just ghey childish name calling and your goofy take on what happened skewed of course by your goofy obsession of Harbaugh.

		<description><![CDATA[Actually, I suspect Johnson&#039;s signing signals competition for #2. The 9ers didn&#039;t sweeten Smith&#039;s deal because they were &quot;innocent&quot; in Manningate or thought Kaepernick was anywhere close to starter-ready.

If anything, I think Johnson puts Kap on notice. Johnson&#039;s pro career to date is distinctly sub-mediocre, as in decisively less accomplished than the pre-Harbaugh Smith. Does Harbaugh believe he can salvage Johnson into starter material?  Only Harbaugh can answer that. The rest of us will have to wait.

Meanwhile, the 9ers aren&#039;t gambling on 16 x more games of perfect health from Smith. Johnson gives the team another option/opportunity btw Johnson, Tolzien &amp; Kap to &quot;upgrade&quot; the understudy position.]]></description>

You do realize Smith&#039;s deal was on the table for the last 3 weeks, right?  That deal was never rescinded during the Peyton saga.  Smith didn&#039;t sign the contract until a couple days ago.  

Does that timeline help you out?  Smith could&#039;ve prevented the Peyton drama by signing day one.  Smith opened the door for &quot;being thrown under the bus&quot; by not signing.

		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s incredible how so many people get wrapped up in the 1&#039;s and 0&#039;s of players contracts... especially with regards to guaranteed money, signing bonuses, base salary, etc.

Seriously... think about it a minute:  does it &lt;i&gt;really&lt;/i&gt; matter if the guaranteed money is 16.5 or 12.5 &lt;b&gt;million&lt;/b&gt;?

It&#039;ll take the average fan roughly 22 years to earn 1 million dollars in salary (obviously not including inflation or pay raises)... yet for some reason, we find it necessary to nitpick over whether or not someone will earn a guaranteed 363 years average salary or a guaranteed 275 years average salary... over the course of &lt;b&gt;three&lt;/b&gt; years.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From what I&#039;ve read ,, those numbers seem incorrect:

Alex Smith&#039;s $7.5 million base salary in 2013 is only guaranteed if he remains on the roster by April 1 of next year.

Smith received no signing bonus. Only $1 million of his 2013 salary is guaranteed. 

The rest of the full guarantees are in the form of a $5 million salary and a $3 million roster bonus this year. 

The 49ers can easily cut the cord on Smith if they&#039;re confident in Colin Kaepernick next winter.

		<description><![CDATA[Hairbow lied to Smith. He threw him under the bus because of his man crush for the Swamp Boy. He&#039;s lucky he has Smith or he might have to QB the 49ers himself.

All Hairbow slappies can give me a thumbs down even though you know the above is true.]]></description>
