Where does Alex Smith end up?

So, where do you all think Alex will sign with in the off-season? What if he goes to Arizona with their spread attack and starts killing it? Or is he gonna stink it up somewhere else?

San Diego as a backup to Rivers.. I know they have a good backup now, but they did ship out Whitehurst. and Norv Turner likes Alex...So I say San Diego..

Minnesota is an option, Tennessee perhaps. He'll be an acceptable stop gap QB for any team that needs that. Maybe Miami.

why would Alex go be a back up somewhere when he can start instead? He could easily start for Seattle, Arizona, Carolina(but they will draft luck), Miami and Minn.

Add Buffalo. Cincy would like to get rid of a big chunk of Palmer's salary but if he refuses, they will be in the mix as well. I don't think Alex will go to a cold weather outdoor location though.

I thought about Cincy and Buff but I can't see him wanting to go there. Plus Buff seems to be riding the fitzpatrick thing out right now.

Maybe he goes across the bay to the Raiders. I thought I read his woman wanted to stay in the bay area and usually what the woman wants she gets.

Maybe not Miami. Nolan is still there (for now) even though he is a d.c. I cant see those two under the same franchise.

My guess is Arizona, Seattle, Titans, maybe redskins, a few options out there.

He will end up as one of the biggest busts in NFL history.

What makes you think Al Davis wants him? He'd be 3rd on their depth chart.

I seriously hope he winds up in the NFC West. All you have to do is put the slightest hint of pressure on him and the game is yours.

Seattle. Carroll seems to have a thing for our garbage.

San Diego as a backup. His hometown. Arizona as a starter. Their QB's are horrible. Much worse than Alex.

I could honestly see him back here...

A rookie will take time to develop. Carr is garbage. Troy Smith isn't the answer. Nate Davis still won't know the playbook after 3 years of study...
