They just released that Rattay got traded to the Bucs, most likely for a 6th round pick. Ironically his first game as a Buc will be against...the Niners. I think its a neutral move, not earthshaking in either direction. Still I think it's good for A. Smith. Thoughts?

 

man, they are basically putting all their eggs into one basket: alex smith. thats the one move i just dont know about. i mean, is he that good?

 

With time and a veteran QB to help him out he will be.

 

i can see that, like steve young behind joe montana. but alex smith has no mentor at this point.

 

maybe the veteran Bryant YOung?? i dunno...just sucks to see them lose all the time

 

thank god. It's good for Smith, heck anything is, but he still has to grow and mature as a QB.

 

oh i forgot about bryant young, the other niners qb

cuz a pass rusher knows alot about how to be an uber talented qb lol

 

How is he going to grow and mature? He has Ken Dorsey and Cody Pickett to "look up to" and he will be sacked at least three times a game due to their weak/hurt o-line. It seems like the niners keep getting worse.

The only offensive bright spots seem to be Frank Gore and Brandon Loyd.

 

to be honest, I hope they get a 1-15 record..this way they can draft Matt Leinhart from USC and have him as the starter or atleast have A.Smith and Leinhart battle for the starting position

 

i hope you sensed my sarcasm, if not....trust me it was on my post

 

They can't/won't draft Leinhart b/c they already spent 50 million on Smith. If they get the first pick they will have to trade down for lower draft picks.

 

"and with the 2006 3rd round draft pick, the san francisco 49ers select reggie bush, of usc..."


funnies thing i saw in the paper 3 weeks ago...

 

reggie bush and smith do have experience playing on the same team. Reason enough for me to draft him.

 

actually, the funny part was like:

"for the 49er's the future is this..."

i too think bush will make a great pick for them. smith and bush will be a nice foundation to build a team around.

every team goes in cycles. right now... the niners and the raiders in a low...

 

yea, i think that the value meal #1 at bigger king should come with onion rings at no extra cost
