Bryce = Alex Smith

Holding out hope for a Mahomes type player to hit is farfetched. Hoping to draft a Mahomes is closer to winning the lottery than finding a good starter as even top 10 QB picks still fail 50%+ of the time (looking at you BY). There's maybe 1 Mahomes level player every 10–15 years and the chance we pick one is 1 in 2,500.

Chiefs Alex Smith or 49 Alex Smith, so you're saying there's a chance we might get Kappernick??!

dear god...I hope not.  I dont mind anything about the protest or anything but Kaepernick succckkked.  He was a singular read QB.  I watched the guy throw for like 50 yards in a game because his first read was never open (yes...Im aware about Bryce young...Im not sold on him either).  In all honesty I think the "protest" began with him throwing a temper tantrum because he was benched for blaine Gabbart (jesus christ you have to be BAAAAD for that to happen).  I think he made up an excuse after he pouted on the sideline and it caught fire.  That said, I dont mind bringing attention to the issues he did, and in fact I love how he went out and did things like help get ex black inmates suitable clothing to get jobs after incarceration, great poo.  However, after that, football became a secondary thing to him and frankly, should be if he cares about the issue.

 

I've used a lot of words to say, please god dont let us get a colin Kaepernick 1 read then run QB, todays NFL would absolutely break that dude in half.

It was right at the end of his SF time.

Hence why it makes zero sense to extend Bryce. If your ceiling is Alex Smith(Bryce has nothing near that as his ceiling) then there is no reason to invest in that.

Let's focus on building a team for the future Pat Mahomes, not Alex Smith.

He got markedly better under Harbaugh

Alex Smith was a more efficient passer and had a higher YPA.

They are comparable in some ways but at 6'4 213 Alex Smith was not limited the way Bryce is.

How was Alex Smith his first 3 seasons? How did he compare to Bryce?

This is a fair point, but I think people are forgetting just how bad the 49ers were back then.  They were getting a top 5 pick every year for like a decade. Alex Smith was selected by the worst team in football. Bryce Young MADE US the worst team in football.  Huge difference.

We were ass before Bryce arrived then they took away our best two weapons. Have you forgotten DJ Chark as the #1 WR?

Thats still not good. Look what he did this year

Right. I didn’t think it was good either but the QB sure did. He was the defacto number one target, not Chark, was my point.

He was considered small back then. Brees was thought to be a midget.

Everything has been skewers by Kyler and now bryce.

alex smith did have really small hands. Like the kind of small hands you hope your girlfriend has to boost your ego. 

I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing

That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this!

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
