If you can't get one of the guys you see as best or 2nd best option at QB, I'm moving back and loading up on picks for next year.

I'd also be okay with getting Rivers as a stop gap for 2-3 years if you drafted a guy who needed a red shirt.

I won't be. I'm done paying to watch games that he's starting in.

Sure got quiet around here now that the ballwashers are gone...

Bring back Clay? LOL!

Reid gets the most out of a qb he can. He's not taking Alex smith to Aaron rodgers, but he got him to perform at his peak capabilities.

That's not the case anymore, so move on

Trade Alex for whatever and then do what you must to move up and draft Watson...

Nah, I don't think Clay is better than Alex Smith at QB.

We do need him here, though.

I voted for DeShaun Watson because he has moxie and all the physical tools I like in a QB. He wins big games.

But in the meantime, I'd keep Foles around and let him be the starter in 2017.

Would you trade Alex within the division? If so, San Diego. Other teams who could be interested:
Washington (depending on what happens with Cousins)
Cleveland (because Cleveland)
Chicago
San Francisco (LOL)
LA Rams
Houston
Buffalo
New York Jets

**** trying to trade him. Cut his stupid ass.

I'd be down with Rivers and draft a qb next year

I'm fine with that too. Time to move on.

I mean, we've been treating the same disease with the same medicine and getting the same results.

I hear the people saying "It's not Alex's fault." Ok, but Alex is the sign of a mentality in the organization, and moving on from him sends the message that nothing but championship contention is acceptable. That message MUST be sent. NOW.

The team needs it, the fans demand it, and the results cry out for it.

Alright, so WHO do you replace Alex with?
 

Step one: Trade All-Pro QB Alex Smith for a 2nd round pick.

Step two: Use pick to trade up to get a QB in the first round.

Step three: Start Nick Foles next year while the rookie learns Andy's system.

Step four: Rookie starts in 2018.

He might be Joel Quenneville. Quenneville was the Blues coach for years and that guy could take a bag of dicks to 98 points and a playoff spot. He could also take 3 scoring lines and 4 All-Star Caliber defensemen to 105 points and a playoff spot.

I called him a socialist coach because he pretty much pulled EVERYBODY to the middle. If you were a stud, you looked slightly better than Mike Eastwood (don't bother to look this person up, just take my word for it; he was not good).

That may be Andy. It's possible he's developed the kind of offensive system that papers over mediocre quarterbacks but would also serve to keep truly great one from excelling.

But if we draft one, he'll at least be cheap. If we have a coach that has built a system that can make any old JAG a 90 rated passer, then let's just go with any old JAG, just as long as he's cost controlled.

Bortles would get destroyed in our offense, he's not mobile enough.

Reid is not some offense genius or QB guru. He's just a coach.

I don't think any of our players on offense are living up to their potential.

Oline should be better
WRs should be better
Even the QBs should be better (Foles looked just like Smith when he was in there)

Our offensive staff is nothing special.

I wonder if Cleveland would take a 1st and 3rd this year and a 1st in 2018 along with Alex Smith for the #1 pick? Rams gave up a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 1st and 3rd to move up 15 to 1. 27 is about another 2nd round pick away, so I'm valuing Smith at two 2nd's and a 3rd, which might be too much but its Cleveland and they have a baseball guy running the show.

Retain Foles. Trade Alex to Cleveland. Draft Trubisky and develop on the bench for a year.

Madden style deal for the win.

I don't think it would take that much to get Rivers.

He'd cost a hell of a lot less than Romo.
