Its kind of a crappy situation that the 49ers need to move on from A.Smith but there really aren't going to be a lot of options besides the draft. A.Smith is the 23rd rated passer this year, one spot ahead of Sam Bradford. But Bradford is a rookie and A.Smith a veteran.
Maybe Kolb plays better than Smith, maybe not. I would give out a 3rd or lower for him, but the 49ers still need to use that #7 pick on a QB. There are a bunch of lower-grade QB's in the draft that could be real gems in the late rounds.
Kolb >>>> A. Smith

Kolb is overrated and PHL will rob someone of their draft picks if they trade him.

Final numbers: Smith finished #21 after being as low as 29 under Raye. Bradford wound up #25

any team that trades for Kolb is on the hook for his $12.5M 2011 salary. this will make it unlikely any team trades for him.

not true. He got his money upfront, next year his salary is only 1.4 million.
Philadelphia is paying Kolb $11.4 million this season, but it drops to only $1.4 million next season,

Im not a fan of Kolb, but there might not be a better option for a vet QB and id rather have him over Mcnabb
