If philbin broke down the doors and said "get me Flynn he's THE guy he has IT" he would e a dolphin. Obviously
Philbin and dolphins feel other (better) options are out there.

If I'm Alex Smith I sign that as soon as they present it. He isn't getting that anywhere else including San Fran.

Put me down as one of the few who really like the signing, except the money involved.

On the draft Quentin Rollins bandwagon.

Denver post may be putting pressure on San Fran to come back with an offer as Peyton still hasn't made up his mind..

Didn't he turn down a 3 year, $24M deal from SF?

I am Alex though and we Alex's think alike. In fact it would be cool if the Dolphin QB who gets us out of this slump shared my name. Not that it is what makes me think he would be a good fit here :lol:

This has Ross all over it, so if the 49'ers don't get Manning then he thinks he screws Harbough from having a QB imo....

Like I said in the other thread I believe almost every single QB in the league is a system guy. You build an offense around their strengths and weaknesses. I don't think there are even five guys I wouldn't consider system QB's. Sure some guys have fewer weaknesses than others but if you don't match a player to a system that fits him he will not have success.

Honestly I can't think of a guy available to us (including Flynn) who fits the Philbin offense better than Smith.

Where was this a few days ago? I didn't hear you or anyone even mention Smith until the whole Flynn thing blew over.

I had no idea he was even going to be available to us, I figured him resigning with San Fran was a sure bet. If you read my posts on Flynn I always said I'd be upset if we signed him to be our starter and not compete with Moore. I was never huge on Flynn. I wanted him as camp competition to Moore and have the best QB start.

I don't think he's any better than Matt Moore so I'm not sure what the point of this would be. Why not just draft somebody?

IMHO Alex Smith's best years are still ahead. I like Matt Moore, but Matt wasn't a #1 overall pick. Smith might not have been worthy of that #1 selection, but he had to have some talent and ability to be drafted that highly. Personally, I like the player he grew into as the season progressed. That's definitely not the same Alex Smith we saw years 1 through 6.

He beat Brees in an outstanding playoff performance, so what's to say he couldn't do the same in Miami if we hypothetically met NO in the Super Bowl?

I am not getting my hopes up. he will resign with San Fran.
