The niners got a hell of a deal for Smith. More then I thought they'd get. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

could be, i went on around 10 different sites, seemed 8.5 was the general consensus, not sure if there has been anything to change that since that article came out jan 8th
I just want more NFL Bad Lip reading that includes Kaep like this one at the 0:15 sec mark. I love these clips. [video=youtube;Zce-QT7MGSE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zce-QT7MGSE[/video] And more Cake for the 49ers Coach Jim Harbaugh !
Alex Smith is a very average QB. He doesn't throw many INTs, but he doesn't gain a lot of yards either. He's conservative, and isn't really good at throwing deep or making big plays.
flynn goes for a 5th...in 2014? i thought they would get more than that hot pile for him, but i guess its better than nothing i bet he enjoyed his 10 million or whatever they paid him to do absolutely nothing though http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9120385/oakland-raiders-trade-seattle-seahawks-matt-flynn
It's better than nothing, future picks are always good and it gets his contract off the Seahawks books. I'd say it's a no brainer for them, now they can sign a guy that fits the Seahawks style for free off free agency to be the backup
Thought they would get a bit more, but picks are picks. They already have several picks this year so it does not bother me that the pick is 2014 and maybe 2015. Not a lot of dead money and I think they ultimately were going to trade flynn before guarantees kicked in anyway. Gives them about $3 mill more in cap so they can start extending players who will be here in 2014. Not a great deal, but probably the right move.
Unless you read what some Hawks fans were expecting for him. They needed the cap room, and that's a lot for a backup. The picks they got........ are one step up from cutting him. You knew some team would be willing to give up something to have first crack at him. But Seattle really only received a step up from a used Kleenex. But they had to make a deal, and you knew they'd otherwise cut him. So getting anything, even if they are low picks that may not make the team was better than simply cutting him.
Hard to say. He never really did much for the Hawks. I think it is a good move for the Raiders. He is not expensive and he did well in spot duty for the Packers. They need to move forward without Carson Palmer and unless they thought Geno Smith was the guy he is a good guy to take a flier on. He could be the guy and if he isn't it didn't cost them much.
next years picks are worth shit, hence why you have to give up next years #1 to get a #2 from this year and so on like i said, better than nothing i suppose, but barely
