The lesson her is build up the D in the off season. If we don't, we'll still be in purgatory no matter who we get.

It would make no sense to sign Cousins to a long term deal AND draft a QB with our top pick.

If you sign Cousins, you use picks to build around him. I don't think he's as good as the price tag is likely to be, but he's certainly not a bridge qb.

I have an idea. Why don't we dump Dennison and TT. Then trade up to draft a quality "young" QB prospect.

If Alex gets cut, a bidding war will ensue. There are a lot of QB needy teams out there besides us. I'd offer them the 1 we got from them last year. 2

I don't see it as the only other team I think rush to get him be the Jaguars but they've already committed to Bortles for 2018 and can't see them paying another QB significant money.

Would you have liked to have Drew Brees as your QB for the past 6 years? If the answer is yes, he is 39 right now. QB's play a LOT longer now. If a good QB that's 33 becomes available, you take him! People that like Tyrod always talk about how he's a game manager & protects the ball & spin his ridiculously low numbers as if they're some sort of accomplishment. Alex Smith is an actual game manager that has the ability to do far more. He's better in every conceivable way except running the ball, and even then he's a good dual threat QB & runs quite often. 267 yards per game, 3,738 yards, 67.8% completion percentage, 25 TDs & 5 Ints. 105.4 Passer Rating. Yeah, who would want that when you could have 178 yards per game, 2,314 yards, 62.8% completion percentage, 13 TDs, 4 Ints, & 89.1 Passer Rating? 3

Trade Andy back his number 1. Would be a great deal for us. Championship
Fadingpain Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) As long as we draft a top QB prospect who is tagged as "THE GUY" and Smith is used as filler until THE GUY is ready to play, I'd be down with that. Smith is an improvement over Tyrod, though they are both cut from the same cloth. Not sure Alex Smith would be down on this plan. What term would he demand in a K? Would he sign for a year or 2?
