Isn't a 4th string QB generally on the practice squad?

I could see that I guess, now that the third QB is a roster spot. I'd want him on my practice squad for sure. Dude probably goes all out on Saturday morning walkthroughs.

I wonder how Alex Smith feels right now...

Doesn't matter where Manning goes. He's not winning another Super Bowl.

Go ahead and find one. The myth of the dream team is becoming larger then life. 2 players said it, no one in the media, or any fans thought that. People thought they would be improved, but even before the season started everyone was talking about the Packers repeating.
I've loved Alex all along, but he resurrected his career with Harbaugh. He'll get a shot on another team, no doubt about it imo. If Harbaugh feels we'd have a better shot with Peyton than Alex, then you gotta trust his decision. Alex will be disappointed that we went after Peyton, if we get him or not, but he shouldn't be upset IMO.

City of mansions, people!
Knee injuries ruined his career. He has not been the same player since 2009.
Yeah we can. We're 18 mil under the cap.
Only 18 mill? You need more than that.

For fuck's sake. What the hell is going on today?
My Broncos are trying their best to grab Manning.
Bud Adam's is still senile.
49ers are like hey we're in the race lolol.
Feasible, considering that Denver's initial offer is rumored at 5yrs/ 60 mil. 30 guaranteed.

Goddamit not the Niners now.
Sign with Denver already ffs.
The look on Brandon Marshall's face lol.
Cutler gives me such a Chandler Bing vibe.

Marshall looks like he wants to punch Kristin Cavallari in the face.
No use getting mad, it's like the Santa story all over again. Just pay it no mind.
And Peyton's really playing this perfectly. Arizona/Miami drops out, so get another team in there. Keep the Broncos/Titans/Possibly Niners? involved and bidding against each other and someone will get desperate, offer something unbelievable.
Stand down. We aren't scared, even if you get him. Just continue on with the plan of building through draft and value FAs.
That's awesome.
Manning to the 49ers would be awesome, but I'm still leary about his neck.

On Wallace - if someone wants to sign him, don't the Steelers still have the right to meet the offer and keep him in Pittsburgh?
On Flynn - while it's unfair to compare individual players with each other, the fact remains that Flynn's contract is going to be lower than Kolb's for two obvious reasons. 1, backup QBs who have gotten some PT and shown flashes (i.e., Cassel and Kolb) have gotten mega-deals and done shit and 2, the rookie salary situation in the new CBA allows you to take a stab at a QB without defiling your franchise for years on end (ala Bradford).
What Flynn has over drafting a QB is obvious: pro credentials. He has played at the pro level, has read pro defenses, has proven results. Small sample size? Yes. But 2 very good/games at the pro level is more than any college QB can show. I think his contract falls in between drafting a QB high in the 1st round (Newton) and going all out for a backup QB (Kolb).

Should've signed the contract before it came to this

Jets signed Drew Stanton! Huge signing, can't believe nobody here has mentioned it yet.
Regardless of what happens to the lions, if Stanton edges Sanchize out of a starting job my year will be MADE.

They could have sucked for Luck. They had everything going for them. The Colts even won a couple games.
Miami only has themselves to blame for the mess they're in now.
They don't even have any receivers for a QB to throw to now that Marshall is gone.
Just Davone Bess and Brian Hartline. Even Fasano is better than those guys.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
I thought they overpaid for Asomugha and said as much.
Yes, which is why nobody will do it. For a team to pull it off, they're going to need to pay him $12 mil or higher.
Great pickup by the skins, check out his highlight reel.

If true about Peyton and the Niners, I wouldn't be too surprised about it. I imagine it came into play after the Niners sent an offer to Alex.I also wouldn't be surprised if the interest initially came from Peyton and that the Niners were one of his top choices to begin with.

I like the prospect of Kaep learning from Peyton. If we don't get him though and we do end up signing Alex, will Alex's confidence be back in the toilet?
