I dont think any team that needs a qb will invest a third round pick for Alex. I just dont see it. He is not guaranteed a starting spot from any team that I can tell and I just think that us Niner fans are over-qualifying his credentials--the exact opposite of what GMs around the league are doing. They know Alex is not a qb who can carry a team to 12 win seasons. Teams know also they arent going to give Alex his current contract either when they dont know if hes going to grab that starting spot, so why give a third and pay that compensation for 8-8 seasons

Maybe the ball is getting to Kaep faster and in better position to get YAC?
Or Crabs all of a sudden got better at it ?

The only reason that he isn't leading this team is a young freak who has yet to be injured.
"the exact opposite of what GMs around the league are doing." Name one GM and your source. You can't. Please don't pass opinion off as fact. I will be the first to say that my opinions are my opinions. I don't claim to have Trent Baalke's ear.
There are no guarantees in life period. "They know Alex is not a qb who can carry a team to 12 win seasons". Who is "they". Can you cite a single source. I don't thinks so.

After watching all the games again on NFL Rewind the biggest difference I noticed in the last 8 games is Kaep held the ball longer before throwing to Crab allowing him to get past the second level of the defense so he had less defenders in front of him. Also even though Crab only had 7 more receptions with Kaep he was targeted way more often than with Alex. Of course other receivers/TEs got targeted less with Kaep....

I like Alex a lot and hope he can come in and finish up Sunday night in victory formation ON the field, and wish he could go to San Diego and win the starting job and earn 14 mil a year playing in his old hometown.
But he will NOT be given any starting spot on any team and I think he'll have a tough time winning that job from all the qb hungry teams.

I'll be here next year bleeding red, crying gold, even if we go 1-15 or 0-16 (as SanDiego once predicted lol -- I'll always go 10-6 in the PYMWYMI thread).
You are going to be SO wrong. I'm sorry that Alex offended you or whatever, but your posts smack of hatred, not withstanding your protestation that "I like Alex a lot"
I might be wrong too a year from now, but I'll be here (god willing) and you can quote me on my post.

Honestly, no.
Football is a business, if the 49ers let him go without a trade it's a mistake.
If they can't get a trade... obviously, they have to cut him...but a trade should be the goal.

Alex could and wold come in and win this game. With seven more snaps (which Harbs wouldn't give him) he would have finished #4 in rating, after finishing #9 last year. He tied Joe in all time 4th quarter regular season comebacks LAST YEAR. Detroit motherf****ers, Detroit. Delanie at the goal line with 4 seconds left. The Giants game.
THIS YEAR, he posted the TOP 2 rating games. Both over 150. By a 49er QB ever. That is EVER. In October. Something Joe or Steve never did.
Then he got concussed.
The newbs forget the 2006 Sea game where he walked into the endzone on a bootleg . Or the Denver game the next year. Fast Forward 2011.
That NO game ranks up there with the Garcia Giants Game, the Catch, JT in the Super Bowl, name any other playoff game and both nuts dropped for Alex last year.
While we are drunk with the awesome physical ability / poise that is Kaep, let us not forget that Alex brought this team / stuck with this team through the dark ages (we want carr) to get us here.
To say that that no team will trade for a #1 overall that was on an upward trajectory to go from Top 10, to Top 5, with a HUGE playoff win, 4th Quarter comebacks, playing out of his mind out at the time of his injury (last pass was a TD to Crabtree, while concussed) is nothing short of ridiculous.
Alex will be heard from again in this league. I'm going to root hard for him. Look forward to seeing him next in the Super Bowl (on the other side )

All these "accomplishments" and yet he isn't regarded as anywhere near a top QB. Smith's numbers are extremely misleading.
