That's what I was thinking. Nightmare scenario has to be Smith in Miami, Flynn in Seattle and Manning in Denver. That leaves zero attractive options available.

Oh yeah?

Seems you're forgetting about one David Garrard?

:jnc
 
Kinda crazy to think Garrard is 34, doesn't seem like he been in the league that long. Guess that's what happens when you sit for awhile before becoming a spotlight
 
Guess we are just moving on from Alex. If we don't get peypey I'm fine with kap or hasselbeck or whoever

The 49ers could sign and start Curtis Painter and FMT would still find a way to spin it into a positive. If you aren't in PR, you should! master of spin
 
You just know headline writers everywhere are dying for Flynn to Miami to happen so they can finally post those MIAMI DOLFLYNNS! headlines they've been sitting on for weeks.
 
If the Niners wiff on Peyton and lose Smith it'll be a complete disaster. By the way, I called Peyton to the Niners months ago. That team will be unstoppable with Peyton at the helm. I could seriously see them winning 2-3 chips over the next 4 years or so. If he's smart he'll go to San Fran and that terrible division. I have this feeling he might go to Tennessee, though. Denver would be a huge disappointment and just a dagger to Tebow. I don't want to see Peyton in Denver. Throw a bone to Tebow and give him a full off-season to improve, ffs.
 
I would place a 95% chance of Tebow going to Jacksonville if Manning goes to Denver.

New owner and a team that struggles to fill its stadium just screams 'Let's overpay to bring the prodigal son back home.'
 
It doesnt matter which QB ends up in SF, FMT will spin it into the best positive light anyway.

We should all be able to do that. I did it when Daunte Culpepper was starting games for Detroit and Ravens and Falcons fans have been doing it since Flacco and Ryan came into the league. Can't show signs of weakness in your trash talk and fandom!

FMT is in another league though. His is much more entertaining

I honestly don't think Manning is coming to Denver. People in the loop have shifted gears back to the draft and to debating over Tebow.

Unless he demands a trade I don't think Tebow is going anywhere this year. Which despite some rumors of just that, I don't think he will ask for a trade.

The way I look at it is, if Tebow is with Denver going into camp he's the starter. Elway said as much going into camp. While that doesn't mean much by itself, the bigger picture is that the fans aren't going to want to let an unproven rookie take the reins over Tebow, even if he looks better in camp. I think Fox and Elway know this and so they are limited in what they do right away.

Tebow will get a few games like Orton to either play himself into or out of the starting position, before they go to either a rookie or vet. If Tebow shows any improvement in the passing game he will remain the starter. Outside of injury, I think the only person stopping Tebow from remaining the starter is himself, or the off chance that Manning comes to town.

I maybe way off, but looking at things now that's what I believe will happen.
 
Why are there so many depressing pictures of Alex Smith? A NFL QB shouldn't arrive at an airport alone and dressed like that. And the couple kissing in the background...
Paired with the pictures of him playing caddy for Harbaugh, it's all giving me Larry vibes.

Yeah, I actually feel bad for the guy, but he was stupid to not just sign the contract they offered him weeks ago.

Somebody should give Alex a hug.
 
I'm always fascinated by the uncanny-valley type popularity dip that athletes take as they get rise higher and higher in the ranks.

Great high school prospect, could go division I! ==> Wow he's going to be a starter for a major conference program! ==> Hes a star and could be drafted! OMG OMG OMG ==> Holy shit this guy is garbage! I can name like 15 guys in the world better than him! ==> Okay now he's good again! Straight cash homey!

hahahahaha
 
Why did Manningham go to a team that might have no QB? I mean they'll have to sign Billy Volek if Smith leaves...

Then again that'll be an improvement over Smith.
