Not sure how long you want to keep up the illusion that Assweiler is the great golden future of your franchise. It's up to you, really. I know you lasted a long time on Tebow, so maybe you should just bail out now and make this quick and painless.

Don't take this as me jumping into the pissing match you have going on... just wanted to address the Alex Smith thing.
I don't think it's unfair to say that through 4 games, his ceiling is Alex Smith. I mean, it's been 4 games and they've been uber conservative.
Depends on what we're defining as Alex Smith - if it's a don't screw it up game manager, then that could be accurate, but we just don't know yet - 4 games.
Hell, through five seasons in SF, Alex was 19-31 as the starter (never finishing with a record over .500 until his 6th season).
Brock won't have that long to find his way, but he may not need it - who knows. Yes, he has a number of things to work on, but he's been on the shelf for four years and thrown into a situation of being asked 'not to be a turnover machine like Peyton was and just let the defense do their thing'.
Dan Reeves is smiling somewhere, watching this offense under the watch of Elway - how ironic. Anyway, I have no idea if Brock is the guy long term - I've seen a number of good things and a number of bad things, it's been 4 games.
