Seriously I don't even understand why this is a discussion. We have an immobile 37 year old qb, any half decent team understands that's not an ideal position for the short or long term. Only way we don't draft a qb is if the guy Ron wants isn't available.

I do agree with that, and it's entirely possible his guy isn't there when they pick, or that he isn't even in a first round target.
Smith's mobility doesn't bother me though - he's still more mobile than a lot of QBs in the league.
What I don't understand is the talk about bringing in a Veteran QB. Why would you release Smith and start over with another Veteran, who will command a decent salary himself, and who will have to get acquainted with the offense / staff, etc., when you have Alex Smith already under contract.
