Go Roadrunners!

I also pull of Rodger's because he is a norcal guy who grew up a Niner fan. Its not his fault our team was too stupid to draft him.
Come on people...sixth ring, playoffs? That's easy to say now, now that Aaron is lighting it up (still hasn't won anything there). You put anyone in the situation Alex had to go through and they'd be in the same boat....I don't care who it is. Put Alex in Aaron's spot and who knows, but it was a much better situation for Aaron in GB. And we all knew that Alex needed to learn a offense to be effective. This is crazy.

Want to blame some one...blame management and the coaching staff at the time (specifically one dumb @ss)!!

No way dude, Rodgers is way better then Smith. He would still be a good player even if the Niners drafted him.

Yeah, I'm sure he would of made pro-bowls throwing to Lloyd and Battle instead of Donald Driver and Greg Jennings.

Yah obviously his stats would not be what they are now. But just imagine if he had vd, gore, crabtree and morgan I bet he would put up similar numbers to what he is doing now. He has probably the best ARM in the league right now .

Only last year and this year would he have a chance at putting up those kinds of stats. How long have we had one of the worst lines in the league, since 2006?

Rodgers was without his bookend tackles and went 4-4 with one of the leagues top defenses. Just sayin... sh*t like this is too hard to compare. What if Rodgers came into the league and got the David Carr treatment with our team, sets records for getting sacked year after year, then develops a "fear" or panic of getting sacked like Carr did with the Texans and ruins his whole development. Rodgers would never have gotten to where he is now.

Comparing the past is waste of time, just look at the two guys now and its not even close.

This whole thread is stupid and doesn't matter as I posted previously. Just to respond to you if comparing the past is a waste of time, then comparing them now is also a waste of time cause your discounting the situations that led to the present. No sh*t Rogers is better now anyone with eyes can see that. But your ignoring facts just to try and legitimize your argument.

Take the two top students of a high-school, put one in West Valley CC, and the other in Stanford. Which one do you think will have a better chance to succeed in their careers?
Rodgers would have left the 49ers after his contract ended if we punked him like we did Smith.
I know people think Rodgers is only better because he was put into a better situation, but Rodgers is also better than other QBs who were developed properly.

Philip Rivers stood behind Drew Brees and was handed the keys to a stud San Diego team but I'd take Rodgers over him. To make it short, give me Rodgers over any QB not named Brees, Brady, or (Peyton) Manning.
If we drafted him...This thread would be about Alex Smith..

^^^Matt Ryan is developed behind no one, Tom Brady was developed behind no one, Joe Flaco developed behind no one, Peyton Manning developed behind no one, Matt Schaub behind no one, Donovan McNaab behind no one, I can probably name more like Drew Brees and so on, Im just making a point that sitting behind a Hall of Fame QB is not what made him what he is today and same goes for Alex Smith not sitting behind a hall of fame QB. During the draft I wanted Alex Smith over Rodgers, but I guess I was wrong. I still think Smith can still salvage his career and be a very productive QB in the NFL, but as far as head to head comparison it's settled! Now it's just a race to see who can win the most Super Bowl rings. Hopefully Alex Smith wins!

difference is we had a much less talented team than any of those QBs and also the most important thing is that urban myer said he needed to learn the system before he plays
Arnaz Battle, Ke Vahn Barlow, Derick Smith , Ulbrich, Brandon Lloyd, Rashaun Woods, Kwame Harris,Mark Roman,and Keith Lewis would all be 3 time probowlers......TOPS
