Neither did I, but the article says what we all already know... We should've taken Aaron Rodgers over Alex Smith.

Only difference is most teams know when to cut their loses and move on. When your giving the guy the multiple years to prove himself because you dont want to admit your mistake hurts the franchise even more then the initial pick.

Easy to say, but would he really have done any better if he had made a starter w/Nolan as HC and changing OC every year?

You mean like AZ cutting Leinart, Tennessee getting rid of Vince Young, Green Bay cutting Brian Brohm a second round pick within a year, you mean teams that are not afraid to admit they made a mistake.

Not sure what you are trying to prove with these examples.
But yes, what he is saying is that if Alex Smith was picked 1st by 31 other teams, and panned out the same way...no way in hell would he have gotten 6 years to prove his worth (let alone potentially a 7th)

the most regrettable decision we've made was bringing in McNolan in here as the braintrust, all things considered.

Aaron Rodgers obviously has more natural talent and football awareness than Alex Smith. I'm sure he would have done better than what Alex Smith has done.. Or should I say hasn't done.
