@jaredquan I don’t know how you can say Alex Smith would be any better if the 49ers had Kurt Warner, we would have dumped Smith. However I would take Kolb over Smith if the price was right, and its not. Though I like Colin learning on the bench, He would stand a better chance starting than Smith did, thanks to improvements on the line.

I know that Harbaugh said that Colin would be competing for the starting job from day one, but I would be horrified that would be creating Alex Smith 2.0. I agree that Alex is a necessarily pain. The biggest irony is that if the 49ers would have managed to steal Kurt Warner then I honestly think Alex Smith would be a better quarterback today. I don’t think that Kolb would be the answer we are looking for. Stay the course with Jims plan, and let him develop the quarterbacks.

I think RockstarZen has hit it on the numbers. Also I wouldn’t say we are stuck with Alex Smith, ironcally I think the 49ers will finally get fair value for him. While he takes the hits with an o-line still coming together, and the future with Colin learning on the bench, preventing him from becoming another forced bust.
