my thoughts are Bradford is legit NFL star in the making and Smith is a well intentioned practice squad level player who found himself in the best possible draft ever, putting him on my list of top 10 NFL QB busts of all time.
Career record as a NFL starter,

Bradford: 2-2

A. Smith: 16-28

Whats not to like about Smith?

Bradford>>>Smith
Bradford > Smith

Anyone can see that.
The Niner brass just made a mistake in evaluating Smith. They took a chance and it backfired. s**t happens.

JaMarcus
Carr
Leaf
Couch
Akili Smith
Etc..

Yea it's almost sad we get Smith and the Packers get Rodgers. What a major screw up that was

pretty much. Didnt both come from the spread? I actually think Smith would be a better OC than QB. He might be able to mentally do it, but just can't translate that to the physical game.

Just saying Bradford is better doesn't capture the gravity of this situation.....Smith cannot carry Bradford's jock strap.....
Bradford was a complete stud and one of the best quarterbacks to play college football in many years. The only reason he wasn't a complete no-brainer pick at #1 was because of his shoulder injury. The Rams were in the right place at the right time and did their homework on his shoulder. I'm sorry to say it but the Rams are now the class of the NFC West. It's amazing what picking the right QB can do for a teams fortunes.

So sad to say but true. Team won a single game last year and we look worse now then they. I'm done backing Smith as our QB. He just can't get it done and has been given too many opportunities. We know what we have in Smith. A QB that can look good for half a game or maybe 2-3 games a season and then is simply not functional the rest of the time. This team has far too much talent to be sitting at 0-4 and it's pretty obvious that if the Rams who won 1 game can have a better record right now than we have then Coach S needs to re-evaluate just how important the QB position is to winning in the NFL!!!!! This Old School thinking just ain't working and hey, it really has only worked for a few teams that had very special Defenses. Not top 5 Defenses but tops in the entire Decade type Defenses. These only come around once in a decade. I'll take the day's of a good Defense and a special Offense all day long. Bring back my Old Niners cause this new version is heart breaking!
DRAFT ANDREW LUCK!!
go be a Rams fan then.
