We have a young QB to develop already in Nate Davis and he is hell of a lot cheaper too.
We need to bring in a veteran QB(not sure who will be available though) no more rookie QBs
It's early to predict, and historically I'm no Vick fan, but if he keeps playing at this level, what do you think the odds are that he hits the market as a FA, looking for a bigger payday than Philly will give him with Kolb waiting in the wings?
Other than that, I can't think of any high level QBs likely to be available in 2011.
Though I think McNabb is technically a FA, but with what they gave up for him, Washington will probably find a way to retain him. Other than that it's only Kyle Orton and Matt Moore I believe.
Maybe a trade?
I think Kyle Orton signed a 2 year extension this summer, i wouldnt mind him for a year though.
If Vick keeps this up i think the Eagles would be dumb not to re-sign him. Which makes Kolb available, and im not sure how i would feel about him on the Niners.
I dont want a QB picked high again especially with that ridiculous contract he would likely get
That's right, I forgot about the Orton extention, so the crop thins even more. Tough year to be searching for a QB. Unless a cap is in place for the draft picks, our options are:
A. Put all our eggs in one draft pick basket again
B. Sign a C level pro who hopefully is an upgrade over Smith/Carr
C. Start a guy (Nate Davis), who even though the board loves him, is a practice squad level guy.
D. Resign Smith
E. Trade? For who? With what?
I don't like ANY of those options at the moment. I can only hope that even if we don't have great season record-wise, that Smith really shows MAJOR improvement. I'm no Alex homer by ANY means, but I don't really see any other options.
Hopefully he does just enough to prove he's at least an decent NFL starter and we can resign him relatively cheap, and then draft a QB we don't have to pay absolute top dollar for and can develop the right way this time.
