Who knows how Smith will do, but nothing in his history would imply he will set himself above the franchise or be a drama queen. Skins fans are justifiably jaded about QBs and after 20+ years it would be nice to have a FO, staff and players all in agreement and moving forward. I think we now have that, and we will see good things, but if Smith leaves in 4 years and we have been stuck at 500 with another coaching change then yeah Smith may get the same level of frustration at his departure.

We let a QB price himself out of what we thought he was worth by poor front office decisions. What makes you think this front office will do better over the next 20 years?

these ass clowns haven't been able to field a consistant winning team in 20 years. And the common denominator in the equation are the same ass clowns you think will turn this team around. I am hopeful, but trying to remain realistic at the same time.

The FO has gone through progressions. We aren't in a Cerrato Zorn period, or a Shanahan Allen one either. They have been watchful of the free agents, but not gone crazy for 1st day overpays. I don't agree with every move, but we have made good moves the past 2 to 3 years and now that we have a stable QB cap solution I expect they will solidify the other positions appropriately.

Calling the FO assclowns pretty much contradicts your last line.

LOL - you know it will happen here.

a lot of people here trash guys that leave the team, regardless of the reasons.
funny thing is - haven't seen any Breeland bashing yet?
I'll get to see him get burned on the regular here in Carolina!

Barring a SB win you just know it’s going to happen

Yup....I saw it every day on social media....Smith getting heavily criticized for his style of play....but the the thing is we knew he wasn't Dan Marino when we traded for him...so there should be no surprise at all when he executes his conservative style of quarterbacking...

I guess some are bad mouthing Cousins. For me personally, I'm appreciating that he was the best we've had since Brad Johnson, while at the same time recognizing that I don't think he could have won a SB for us, especially not when making mid $20sM plus.

But you're right, if Smith doesn't get us that ring, I'll probably end up saying he was good but not good enough.

[skinsfaninok]

Smith will get us that ring we are all starved for including himself.

[metalskins]

I'm not badmouthing "he that shall not be named in this thread". I loved having him here and he brought us some joy. But, enough of him. Onto Alex. And yes, if Alex fizzles out, are we supposed to say nothing but great things about him?

[MTK]

People always find something to gripe about, that’s all I’m saying

"Nothing else matters" Alex Smith when asked about winning a SB.

Bill Polian just said Alex Smith would have gotten more money than any QB ever if he'd hit the open market this year. Agree?

I kind of doubt it

I don't think so. I mean anything is possible, but even Cousins didn't get what the "experts" felt he would get, which was $30 million a year. Cousins and Smith are very similar.
