re: A look back at the 49ers trade of Alex smith

Well I will say this: Even if Kaep and Smith are = QBs, 49ers still made a great trade. Got a bunch of picks and saved $$$ by starting a guy that isnt better or worse than Smith. But, they are gonna be in trouble when they pay him.

But I dont think Kaep will win a SB either. Especially if they didnt win 1 these past 2 seasons. I just dont see him improving that much as a QB. He is what he is. His legs wont be there forever either.

Plus, even though they have some solid young guys that have never played in the NFL, that D wont play at this high of a level forever. Willis is 29, Bowman is coming off a major knee injury, and the most important player on their DL is Justin Smith and hes 34. Aldon Smith is 1 retard move away from being locked up, either in jail, looney bin, another stint in rehab, etc.

I think the 49ers have been at their peak these last 2 years, and dont have that many more seasons at it. Especially when Justin Smith slows down. We will see though. They certainly are 1 of those teams that are just flat out interesting IMO. Not a huge fan, but they are an interesting team, with a unique QB and head coach.
