Pariah, think of it this way, I really dont think Wiz would be exposing him by showing his skills 2nite if the wanted to sneek him thru

 

[WisconsinCard]

neither will, we have to keep them all

well tha is not going to hsppen

 

[Zeno]

Boo! Its preseason and our 3rd team is on the field let them play

 

[PJ1]

Run some plays. This is ridiculous.

No way. You don't risk injury on stuff that doesn't matter.

I totally disagree with you. Rodgers was a better QB coming out of college than Smith, but couldn't shake the Tedford bust tag. I wanted us to draft him at the time instead of Rolle

Most Niner fans wanted Aaron Rodgers as well because he was a local kid, went to Cal, and was a die hard Niner fan. Our FO just fell in love with Alex Smith because of his intelligence and work ethic.

Anyway, this is all old news. Smith and Rodgers are actually good friends in real life so I hope they both do well.

Nice chat everyone see ya thursday

 

[Buckybird]

well tha is not going to hsppen

watch!!! Unless they cut leinart or DA we will have 4 QBs

The people on the field needs reps. It isn't starters out there.

 

[Zeno]

Our QBs combined to go 21/31 252 yards 2 TDs and no INTs

I am sure lots of 49er fans wanted him but not most, the SJ Merc took a poll a couple of days before the draft and Smith won easily. Maybe they voted who they THOUGHT the team would pick since by then it was fairly obvious they were picking Smith.

It was a horrible blunder, set the franchise back several years by passing on a Pro Bowl QB. I wanted Rodgers for the Cards I loved the guy at Cal.

They are good friends but that doesn't change that SF took the wrong guy.

 

[Carddan]

I have to believe the whole team is aware of the press they have been receiving since MNF. I believe they responded and came out fired up. Good job.

 

[ajcardfan]

I'm not sure either would. I'm pretty sure Hall wouldn't.

Skelton is all potential right now, Hall is much closer to NFL ready.

we gave up an extra pick and player to move up for Skelton. To cut him would make that trade a real blunder. I just can't see them cutting Skelton. But, Hall is not going to clear waivers either.

Well Lutui was out there. What if Lutui blows out his knee on some play that doesn't matter?

Don't run up the score. Show some sportsmanship. Don't risk injury. I fail to see how any of this is bad.

Agreed I don't think we cut Skelton either. I'm not sure we can afford to keep 4 QB's though. Hall is closer to NFL ready but I don't know if you want him as your #2 this year so it's a really tough decision for the team to make.

I'm fairly confident though that if Hall is cut someone else snaps him up and I love the kid.

There may be room for 4 QB because I think S. Williams has made Andre Roberts the next Buster Davis...and to think cards could of had Bowman there...

It's a step up from the days when we wondered if Preston Parsons or Chris Greisen would be the 3rd stringer.

Nope. SWILL is awesome but Roberts is not getting cut.

Has Aaron Rodgers ever won anything? has he even won a playoffs game? No. Did the Giants make the wrong trade in Eli Manning as well because Rivers is clearly the better QB? Maybe you should wait a few years from now before making that statement.

Yeah it's Rodgers fault they didn't win a playoff game last year right? I mean he put up 45 points but because of the fumble in OT after the missed bomb he lost the game right?

Rodgers was 28-42 over 400 yards and 4 TD's(1 pick) in that loss, Green Bay's defense lost that game not Rodgers.

And no I don't think I should wait a few years Alex has started plenty of games as has Rodgers to be clear who's the better QB. Smith might get better than he is now but he's given no indication he'll ever be as good as Rodgers, and Rodgers is getting better still.

It's not even debatable, that pick set the franchise back years, had they taken Rodgers SF would have been much better on offense the last few years.

Jeez, you might be the biggest homer of any fan I've ever seen on the net. They've been in the NFL for five years now, it's hardly a rush to judgment. No one on the planet would take Smith over Rodgers now.

Russ you're better off talking to the wall in your house!!!

Niners rock baby!!!
Blowhard will leave us just lke he does every December

 

[PACardsFan]

The Cardinals may very well keep 4 QB's. If they have to cut one, I would say it should be Anderson. With no one looking over his shoulder, Leinart will have a breakout season. If Matt were to get hurt, I'm confident that Hall is very much NFL ready. No way do you cut Skelton. His upside is off the charts.

 

[Ronin]

Go read a Mike McCarthy interview about those two. Aaron Rodgers inherited a 11-5 team while Smith was thrown into the wolves and got injured multiple times--totally different situations. Even Mike McCarthy has said Aaron Rodgers is completely a different QB than he was back then.

You should've stopped here. Just stop. You were doing so good.
Alex smith, Aaron rodgers, it really didn't matter who was coming to the 49er team that year....it was a complete mess. (remember the 49ers training camp video scandal).

Donahue set the 49ers franchise back years!!
Mike Nolan handled Alex Smith completly wrong (making him play with a broken shoulder and then making fun his manhood in the locker) besides that wasn't the only player that Mike Nolan made fun of..... I believe Jonas Jennings was the other player.
Is Alex Smith a bust...eh maybe but I'm not going put all the failures of the franchise on him.

 

[Garthshort]

PaCardsFan, you hit the nail on the head. Looks like we go with four QB's.
