Looks like Washington are going to release Alex Smith. Do y'all think the 49ers might jump on him as a backup for much, much cheaper?

I’d have to imagine that Alex Smith is going to retire. I think his point in coming back was showing his kids to “not give up in a crap situation” after his injury.

I think TB has the makings to be one of the better backups in the NFL (like he was in 2019). He just doesn't need to start. Are they willing to pay $17M for good backup is the question.  If so, I'd trade him just to be rid of the salary and run with PJ as our #2. 

Possibly the only way the 49ers (or any team) agree to trade for Teddy is if we accept to still take on a huge part of that salary.  I don't know exactly how that'll work but hell, I'm all for taking the fully amount guaranteed from this year if it means he's gone and if we can be clear completely from that contract heading into the 2022 offseason.

I would literally trade him for ANY compensation, just to get him and his contract out of here.

You people and your hate for TB....it wouldn’t make any sense. Yes TB is overpaid but he only has one year left - but for fans it seems to be this made up franchise crippling contract. 

By trading you’re then adding another 10 M to whoever you try and pay and find to be the QB for next season and you limit all of your options.

So you fug your cap for a year just so you can get rid of TB? For what?

Only way I see that as a good idea is if you have a sure fire QB you’re drafting and you plan on starting him day 1. Or you get a QB you plan to start like the Stafford trade.

Don’t waste cap space without a plan. No one knows how the draft will fall or even if a QB will be drafted. But TB is insurance either way. Panthers can sit a rookie as long as a year, give him competition in camp etc.

Also no one knows how FA will play out, the Panthers could end up with no one else.

The whole start Grier and tank before the season hasn’t begun isn’t an option either.

So you keep TB. No one is going to offer more than a 5th for a back up QB anyways, and that’s not worth his dead cap AND signing a new QB AND taking away any options for a drafted QB...if that exists.

Too many unknowns at this point.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
