However, if for some reason Brees isn’t a Saint after this year, I’d be fine with Alex Smith for a couple years... maybe not fine but Id prefer it to any other FA options. I want a clean slate rookie too, Alex Smith is a backup plan but I think he’s the best backup plan. I wouldn't be upset if we were "forced" to bring in Smith due to Brees going elsewhere. I'm pretty high on Smith, have been for some time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he had an excellent team around him, but he made plays when it counted against our(admittedly wet paper bag) defense in the playoffs. Then he had a great year in 2011 before the 49ers replaced him with Kaepernick, and I thought that was a mistake from the get go. He's been the ultimate game manager, but this year he's proven he's capable of more than just simply managing games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raves Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 You know Brett Hundley is a FA in 2019... if we can go that long, or even if the cost in trade is reasonable enough, he wouldn't be a bad option either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raves Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Looking at some scouting reports, it looks like the QB from Northwestern, Clayton Thorson, could be someone to look at if he declares for the NFL. Much like Jay Cutler his stats won't wow you as he played on a team devoid of any other talent, but scouts seem to think that he has the skills to be a NFL QB. Quote 11/9/17: Scouts who were through Northwestern told me that they were impressed with what they saw from Thorson on tape and in practice. Thorson has shown that he has pro potential in terms of his skill set. He can throw the deep out with a fastball that can be fit into tight windows. Thorson also has quality mechanics with a quick delivery. Scouts say that he has a super-strong arm, is smart, athletic, and has improved as a junior.

Hes wildey inaccurate... Has arm for days but consistently overthrows recievers and displays very little touch. Yes hes got a NFL body and a cannon, hes smart but there are major flaws with him IMO.

Jlowe22 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Yea, we aren't getting Baker Mayfield. Unless we just completely collapse, and even then 7-9 is the worst we're gonna do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I view him more of a mid-round (3rd or 4th rounder) pick. His accuracy and touch is special and he has above average arm strength. However he needs time to develop his body and adjust to a pro style offense. His college career has been a mixed bag but I also feel his head coach Mike Leach is to blame for alot of problems viewed as Falks. Falk is a potential NFL starter in a few years and i liken him to Kirk Cousins talent wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
