Smith didn't really pan out until his 7th year in the NFL.

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.

The "facts" of his limitations are severely overblown.  

 

Dude, he cannot see the field, when his feet are not set he throws ducks.   What the fug are you watching?

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?

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.
