Who was the bigger bust?

I didn't follow Carr when he was drafted, but aside from a few drives from the San Diego game a few years ago, I don't remember seeing any flashes of potential from Alex. They're both damaged goods though.

The Texans didnt do that with Carr?

Yeah but Carr had one of the best receivers in the league and he really struggled to get him the ball. Smith was throwing to a bunch of door mats. Also Smith's development was severely hurt by injuries.

I think it's a draw.
Smith was the bigger bust. Carr was on an expansion team and had the worse offensive line in the lead. I still think both have a chance to at least be good backups in the lead for a long time.
Brady quinn and jamarcus russel.

Why are so many posters so obessed with the amount of money Smith got and is getting paid. It isn't your money so why do you care?

amazing.

oh I don't know. maybe a little something called the salary cap?

Look at all the QB's who have been aqcuired since Alex Smith. What do they have in common? CHEAP. And why did the 49ers have to look for only cheap QB's?
