Couldn't agree more. If they are going to go ahead and waste another season going with Smith instead of making a splash and going after McNabb and acting like they want to win the division and some playoffs games, the least they can do is give Smith the full opportunity to show us he is worthless.

QYB about McNabb. Trading for him would be a HORRIBLE move by this team. Talk about setting yourself back....sheesh

There is no competition at all. Yahoo sports is the only one that put up that article, and if you read it, you'll see that even tho it talks about competition, there really is none. It's not Smith's job to lose.
Fact is just that Smith is our QB for this year coming into the season. They even talked about how Carr was off with the offense, which is to be expected, but they also talked about his crazy release of the football.
Supposedly Smith is not only directing players, but he's being more vocal and all.
Cant wait till preseason. Go Niners

This just isn't fair to Alex but I wouldn't worry too much about it. Carr is a bust and will find it very difficult to unseat Smith as the 49ers starting QB. Alex knows the offense and he is more familiar with the RB's and WR's on this team than Carr.

There is no competition, this is just a spin article to generate some fan interest in the offseason. Carr getting a few reps with the #1's is smart so he can start getting a feel for the timing and Smith might of been tired or was doing really well and Raye wanted him out on a high note, who knows. It's just OTA's, if Carr starts poaching reps in training camp then start worrying, but if Sing said Smith is the man, then he's the man.

Just you guys wait...Alex Smith will be compared to Peyton Manning by the end of 2010. I'm not even joking. He looked a lot like Manning in the training camp of 07 before he got injured. It took Manning awhile to get it going as well. All the offense needs is some help on the line and a scat back to spread out the offensive threat.

Finally a comment that makes sense. McNabb is a five-time probowler,five-time whereas Smith is not even a 1-time probowler and McNabb has thrown for over 32,000 yards and has one of the best td to int ratio's ever. At age 34 he is going to play several more years. His overall numbers are very similar to Jim Kelly's and I think a certain qb in Indiana is 34. I have no clue why people can't get past their biases and just look at the man based on his performance. I read about Lombardi,Schefter,etc saying how the 49ers need a quarterback but the fans can't see that and I don't understand why.

Happy with Smith. Don't understand the problem with Carr. He will be the no 2, ready to step in, in case of injury. Maybe it would be a good idea if he knew the system. Highly unlikely, though, that he unseats Smith. It's not a qb competition.
