    According to NFL.com's Jason La Canfora the 49ers' offer of $24 million over three years to free agent Alex Smith remains on the table.
    The proposal has not been "lowered or revoked." La Canfora also reports that team sources are "confident" Smith will re-sign with San Francisco. Smith's visit and flirtation with the Dolphins are reportedly being viewed as "a play for leverage" by NFL insiders. In other words, Miami might have to offer significantly more than $8 million per season in order to land Smith.

    Alex is still thinking about Miami and we still have a chance, but we would probably have to up the money over the rumoured 24 million we offered him.
    What would you offer him at this point?

    I say if Philbin likes him for his offence and it's a good fit (which I believe it would be) We need to go 4 years 28-30 million for Smith.

    I wouldn't even hold Alex Smith not signing here against Ireland. Smith going to the 49ers over us makes sense. Clearly he has a better chance to win there. If the money was even close, Smith would have to be a bitter S.O.B. to choose the Dolphins over the 49ers. We would have to overpay to get him and we're probably better off with Moore. But he would prevent a Tebow trade...

    Smith is from California. Even though his feelings may have been hurt with the 49er's flirtation with signing Manning. He will get over it and sign with the 49er's in the next few days.

    Just accept that it is going to be Moore and perhaps Garrard as one and two next year for the Dolphins. Smith only came to visit the Dolphins because he thought that Manning was going to be a 49er and the Dolphins were the only team to show any interest in him once the Seahawks signed Flynn.

    Have you actually watched him play the last several years? Some improvement, yes, but hardly the answer.

    would be a colossal mistake, bigger than anything this regime has done since its inception.
    Draft the god**** rookie and take the chance that he's the next big thing. worst case scenario, he's the next Alex Smith/Matt Moore

    We seem to go to one question mark to another question mark. And now its without a No1 WR. Only recognised No1 WR in the Draft is Blackmon who we wont draft and with the so called "loaded" Free Agency with WRs who did we get? zilch. Last time i watched the game the QB had to have weapons in the pass game.Im seriously ****** with the way the Dolphins management have .shown to be 3rd world in attracting players. If we arnt buying then dont go shopping.

    Signing Smith would scream of desperation. Go with Moore, take Weeden in the 2nd, let them battle it out.

    I agree that signing Smith would be a sign of desperation. I also happen to think that drafting Tannehill or Weeden would also be a sign of desperation, since I don't think either of these QB's will have productive NFL careers. The only long term answer for the Dolphins at the QB position is to do whatever they have to do to ensure they are able to draft Matt Barkley next year.

    lol this makes no sense.

    So they're gonna make a desperate move because of your opinion on a quarterback?

    Smith has already made it known that he would like to stay on the left coast...don't know that he's a major upgrade, but he does kinda fit in Philbin's offense...

    Yes I've watched him...no I wouldn't recommend him but I would like to see the 9ers with no QB next year!

    I've about given up on you getting a QB to help the phins so maybe you can get one to help the Saints? WHO DAT!!

    The big problem about this comparison is ball management is not examined that closely.

    Including the playoffs TD (pass plus run) vs TO (interception plus fumbles lost):

    Alex Smith...24 TD / 8 TO (3/1 ratio)
    Matt Moore...18 TD / 15 TO

    I am not a big Alex Smith fan, but I will take a QB that has a TD/TO ratio of 3/1 over a QB that has a 18/15 ratio ALWAYS.

    Alex Smith has potential that was completely squandered by the 49'ers his first few seasons. They ran the Coryelle offense in one season and a Mike Martz offense another. His third season he was injured and his first he was a rookie coming to a HORRIBLE team. He fits our offense extremely well and has nowhere to go but up.

    I really hope that somehow he still ends up here and Garrard never sees the field ever...even in practice.
