Vertical LimitForum VeteranOPafter the major upset today, he is done and theyre going with Mahomes next season.
Would love to bring Alex in to compete with Tannehill and as insurance incase Tannehill goes down again.
Dolphan24Forum VeteranThere are too many teams that need a starter. He will get good money somewhere to be a starter.
I don't like him he once visited here and said he had no interest and wanted to see how miami looks like

I still have the picture of him at Ft Lauderdale Airport seared in my brain from that visit.
He's a lateral move from Tannehill.
byroanAdministratorIt'll probably take a 2nd rounder to trade for him. Not worth it.
rackhoundForum Veteranalex smith is better than people give him credit for.....I would be happy if we landed him...don't think that would ever happen and I cant see KC letting him go anyway. Im good with going into next season with Tannehill.

I agree. Denver, New Jersey, Buffalo, and Arizona all have clear openings. Washington and Minnesota could pending free agency losses. Who knows whats going on with Luck now in Indy with his health. And there have been more rumors that Big Ben could retire after this year if the Steelers win the Super Bowl.
djphinfanSupporterHe’s going to demand a large contract and that’s not happening here.. Ryan is entrenched..

KC has the stud Mahomes.. the highly underrated Mahomes when he was coming out by most..
Tannehill > Smith
Lets see Tannehill or Alex Smith ?????
Thats a tough one, lol...
Not with standing his stellar year on the sidelines in which it seems people now know that he is that dependable, consistent QB we've all been craving... Wow....
We are doomed because even the fans are mediocre content....
And a second rd for Smith would be a steal and won't happen ...1st rd +....
I'd give up our 11 in a heart beat..... but the organization isn't even close to being real contenders.....Christ people are satisfied with a playoff level even if the team sucks much as we seen last year and this year with the Bills...you honestly think the Bills are even going to win a game ? Our goal is to be mediocre...
This evaluation and opportunity passed is the Same kind of stuff that makes us what we've been for the last 2 decades....pretenders.......hey enjoy the disappointments...
Sorry to be so negative but really people to even think about RT vs Alex Smith as something you have to consider is laughable.....
Just saw another early stage rumor, KC possibly getting rid of Andy Reid ...I'd be knocking on that door hours ago if that was possible...
My guess is that our backup will be drafted fairly early. He will be "the best player available" aka plan B.
The_Dark_KnightForum VeteranIf we were an expansion team, or a horrible team with an 0-16 or 1-15 record that had more holds to fill than a colander I’d make a play for Alex Smith but that’s not what we are and QB play from Tannehill was not our problem last season.
Now if you want to draft a QB for backup then ok but we have other priorities that need addressing first, otherwise it won’t matter who is under center

I think he ends up in Denver or NJ.
If the Denver's defense can step up again next year, with Smith they'd have to be one of the SB favorites.

QB play was, actually a rather large problem and truthfully has been for years. So an Alex Smith potential IMO is a tremendous consideration. And most likely a legitimate vital needed position that isn't the easiest to fill (even though there are many holes to fill). So when you have an opportunity like and an Alex Smith falls in your reach IMO you'd have to be a Dolphin strategist to not consider it heavily...
I know theres the RT band wagon and the hope that after 5 years he'll be productive and more importantly consistent as shown in a few games last season. But my thoughts would be to let him go and grab Smith, I've seen enough of RT ( 5 yrs) and be nice to know we have a proven QB and not dependent on our fantasy for RT to be true ( which honestly, also has the possibility). And after that hole of QB securely filled go after the OL and other needs. How many decades have we been trying to fill the QB position...
No argument about all our needs and it will be probably several years if even done right to have a legitimate contender and not just another mediocre playoff pretender (us 2016, Buffalo 2017). and IMO having an Alex Smith for another 5-6 years to build around would be a good start...
But like the previous poster said I also doubt he'd even come here even if the staff fell on their heads and noticed the good idea....

Great match for Cousins, Smith a good plan B. Tyrod Taylor would be an upgrade too, though he's a step below those guys. Between them and Jacksonville, there are some really solid teams with QB as the big hole.
