I don't know why anyone other than Alex would have a problem with what Harbaugh did. Do I think Harbaugh is now stretching the truth. Yes. Do I have an issue with it. No. He's trying to bring in the best players at every position. If you have a problem with this, I guess you have a problem with Steve Young and want us to give back the fifth ring.

Well no s**t Sherlock. As I said before after Manning rejected the niners they gave Alex a contract (a measly one by NFL QB standards) and he came back.

Originally posted by KowboyKiller:People seem to forget that there was an offer on the table for Alex that he hadn't signed. He was playing a little hardball, and we all know by now that doesn't fly with Baalke, who isn't going to bust open the cap for one player more than he feels he's worth.
So in due course, they were looking at Manning in the case that Alex would not accept the terms of the offer, which he eventually did. It's really not any more complicated than that.

you cant prove that you are right, only Baalke, Harbaugh and Manning know the truth.
Originally posted by susweel:Originally posted by AXEGRINDER:Originally posted by susweel:Hey dont get mad at me because 31 other GMs had no interest in Alex. Niners were ready to give Peyton whatever he wanted and were waiting for his decision. If they weren't then they could have said we have no interest Peyton and Alex is our guy. But that didnt happen they left alex twisting in the wind while they wined and dined Peyton.
We were going to give Peyton whatever he wanted? Ya ok . You obviously haven't been paying attention to what Baalke has done.
I've said my bit in this thread, and then some. I'm done.
I'll leave you with this:
Alex Smith is the qb for the 49ers. Peyton Manning is not.
Well no s**t Sherlock. As I said before after Manning rejected the niners they gave Alex a contract (a measly one by NFL QB standards) and he came back.

The thing is, the facts fit what we're saying alot more than what you are. Alex was given an offer to return very quickly after the season, but he hadn't signed it because he was trying to negotiate for more money. He eventually signed the offer.
There is literally no proof that Manning was ever given an offer by the 49ers that he said no to, because he wasn't lol.
Originally posted by AXEGRINDER:
Alex had a contract on the table before the Manning fiasco started, so that alone makes susweel's post wrong right there.
Secondly, I'll repeat in case you missed it. While technically no contracts were offered, perameters were discussed.
Answer this question......because all others are irrelevant:
Do you think the 49ers would have given Manning a 90+ million dollar contract? Better yet, 40 million guaranteed?
The answer is no. So in all likelihood the 49ers were never an option for Manning, despite whatever bulls**t the media was throwing at you. And finally you would believe Harbaugh to be a liar because he said as much.

Niners wanted Manning but he said NO so we moved on and brought back Alex.
