BeeR Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) To say the least. Props for getting as far as they did last year, but he aint the answer and could even regress.

He's a pls-just-don't-lose-the-game-for-us kinda guy. Dilferish. Dilferish seemed to worked for the Ravens and the Niners last year. But I hope we get to see some Josh Johnson in the mix like was speculated. His size kind of scares me (and probably the Bucs too to draft Freeman), but I've long thought he's a hell of an athlete and good QB.

Agreed on ravens and niners and Yes to J.J. as well.... have had those same thoughts and the more the merrier at the QB position just in case things don't pan out as well as they did last year.

Sunday Couch Potatoe Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Can we stop with the "special k" crap? Worst nickname ever. Because All Day has panned out so well? All Day of what rehab and wasted talent? That's a worse nickname for me as he is a known commodity that has never lived up to any of that nickname besides FF wise! Your worst nickname special K still hasn't been able to live up to the name... So let's see what happens first before we judge if its the worst nickname ever! Hell he may be more special than anyone knows so let's let time be the judge of that! Edited March 21, 2012 by Sunday Couch Potatoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godtomsatan Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Tom Condon represents both Alex Smith and Peyton Manning. There was something fishy there about talks breaking down with the 49ers, and then starting up with Manning. Someone was trying to put a wedge between one side or the other. That said, as great as Alex Smith is (ahem), he got a contract that is slightly less than the one signed by Matt Flynn on Monday. Apparently, despite his career year, even the Dolphins didn't want him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Good move for SF. The 9ers and the Ravens remain the counterpunch to the current NFL thinking that you need a top 6 QB to win a SB. They build much more balanced teams and don't allocate 15% of their cap space to the QB position, leaving significant holes elsewhere. Smith performed admirably last year given his limitations.

And that assumes that we're not going to see more of the guy we saw vs NO. The uber-conservative nature of the offense (that ultimately played a role in costing them the NFC Championship) may have simply been a means to an end, trying to keep things simple for a guy who'd had to learn 7 offenses in 7 years and actually had way less time that year to do so. Maybe they open things up a bit more for him this year given the time they have to prepare. The best part of this deal is that they didn't overpay. If we get some version of the same Smith we got last year (which, in fairness, means we likely don't get as far as we did last year because plenty of things broke right for us along the way), then maybe it's time to hand the keys to Kaeperneck depending on how he progresses. It's not like we'll be over a barrel with some massive contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Can we stop with the "special k" crap? Worst nickname ever. I think it would be awesome if we just stopped with all the nicknames. Many of them are silly, terrible, and too obscure for all but the most hard core. I've started using them more when posting here as shorthand because I know people understand them. But even then mostly the name abbreviations like (DWill, JStew, BGE) and occassionally others like Megatron, Law Firm and Silent G. Of course its even worse when players change there name to something stupid (e.g. Ocho Cinco and Meta World Peace). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco Billy Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Well, the Ravens and the 49ers didn't exactly dispel that notion, did they? Both teams are right there, and given the proper catching of a punt or making a chip shot FG, could easily have met in the last SB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let's open up another train of thought that you don't need a top 6 QB to get really, really close to making the Super Bowl. Which is kinda like winning a Super Bowl. Or maybe not.

Which is kinda like winning a Super Bowl. Or maybe not. Well I guess this is the first argument of the day for Bronco. Good lord....he is so bent on defending crap QBs. He just can't help himself. Here are the last 20 Super Bowl WINNERS and their QBs. You have TWO of TWENTY QBs that won the game that can be considered not a top QB. The rest of those guys are either HOF currently or future HOF. I would not want to hang my hat on a crappy QB and a good defense to win the big one. I can happen, but it is rare as hell. And by the way, the Niners have a nice defense but it is not even close to that Ravens defense. I guess BB will have to find something else to be wrong about today. This one was pretty easy.

Bronco Billy Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Comical man. Comical. You get abused and this is the best you can do? It is getting ugly for you. This is the last I'm going to post in this thread. Re-read yourself and see if you agree. I made a simple statement that SF and BAL are showing that teams can competently compete for the SB without spending 15% of their cap space on a stud QB. Furd disagreed because neither team actually went to the SB. I rebutted that both teams were so close to actually getting to the SB - a play at the end of both games that can be easily identified. After that I refused to engage in the discussion any further, at which point you decided to come blazing in with an attack on me because I made two - count them, two - post simply discussing the proposition. That apparently offended you incredibly. I'll let it speak for itself - the text is above. But this is hardly the first time you didn't read anything I posted, or if you did read it you simply ignored the content, and only saw that it was me posting and went into full blown attack mode despite the content of the posts. In the QB thread you actually posted points you thought were blowing me away when I had actually brought up and acknowledged the exact same points earlier in the thread. Then you posted and bolded a ver lengthy article that you again thought was some kind of "gotcha" when the exact same article had been posted and discussed just a half page earlier. This appears to be some kind of compulsive behavior with you. If you want to do it, that's fine - it's your privledge and it sure as hell doesn't affect me. I sure don't feel any need to defend myself from your behavior, as you seem to think I ought to. Have at it. It's just awfully odd, IMO.
