Hell yeah, I can't wait.

The haters don't realize that what we will be left with won't be pretty.

Can't be any worse!

I have a funny feeling that our new GM and Coach will use our 2nd round pick as trade bait for Carson Palmer or Kyle Orton in which BOTH cases will be better than what we have had since Jeff Garcia

Or, Kevin Kolb.

A second rounder for Carson Palmer is waaaaaay too high. Now Orton is proven, so could be worth a look, Kolb is not proven and has a huge contract.

Kolb doesn't have a huge contract. That's the reason why they might just keep him as a backup next year.

Matt won't last, he's being held together with Elmore's Glue and Duct tape.

When healthy, Carson has put up as good of numbers as Orton has and Orton played in a pass happy offense. I will take either of them. As the days go on though, I'm actually not minding the thought of just Drafting Mallet, Locker or Newton and getting them out there ASAP with a good offensive minded coach. Flacco was very Raw and he did pretty good. Cutler was raw and he hasn't been too bad.

I think the mistake we had with Alex was we had no coaching, nobody to develop him, no weapons and no oline.

If we draft one of those rookies, we will hopefully have either Harbaugh, Gruden or Mularkey to develop him and put him in the best offense to succeed with a Pro Bowl running back, A pro bowl TE, a mismatch TE (Walker), an up and coming WR Crabtree and a Veteran WR James Jones. A quality center (Baas), a dominate LG (Iupati) a more than serviceable LT (Staley) and a progressing RT (Davis). Our offensive minded coach will realize we need an upgrade at the RG position and there you have it. More than enough for the Rookie QB to be successful. Couple that with a revamped defense and we should be good to go in the NFC West

I dont think wed be stupid enough to let go of a quarterback with a rating higher than mcnabb, sanchez and bradford with all the instability. Plus Alex has stated he loves it here and wanted to come back and we could get him at a more than reasonable rate. Cuz Troy Smith. Draft a Rookie to battle it out this first year. Unless someone better is available via free agency. Personally Id take Alex over Mcnabb. We all know Singletey and Nolan and Holster, and Raye were all idiots. I will bet we resign Alex, and if we do get rid of him itll be on draft day and itll be a trade wed end up regretting. Give that offensive line a year to mature and supplement its depth via draft or free agency. Work on Alex's footwork and add another deep threat that can actually catch, get a full back that can actually catch and run with the ball, add a pass rusher or two and a cornerback and were in buisness. Rookie sits behind Alex a year and if he doesnt show us why we drafted him we have someone waiting in the wings. If Alex does what I think hes capable of doing, our rookie wont see much playing time barring injury.

What exactly is it that you think he is capable of doing that he hasn't shown after 6 years in the NFL? Do you think he will be finally capable of being accurate with his passes and hitting his receivers in stride on a consistent basis? Do you think he will be capable of speeding up his slow release that looks the same as it did when we drafted him? Do you think he is capable of going through ANOTHER playbook, since that is one of the reasons/excuses some have used when talking about his struggles is that he has to learn a new playbook every year. Why would learning a new playbook next year be any different?

I would honestly rather let Alex go and take the slim chance of it coming back to haunt us. If we are trying to develop the QB, then trade for Carson Palmer or Kyle Orton with our 2nd or 3rd round pick. Draft a QB in round 1 (2nd pick gone) and secondary and pass rush in round 3 and 4 and we will be just fine with an offensive minded coach and a more than serviceable QB until the rookie is ready.
