Would you want Alex Smith at QB?

[Dcat]

If the choice is Sanchez, Vick or Smith... I'll take Smith every day. I'm no Vick fan, but I'd rather see him out there than our useless QB.

Sanchez = $8 million clipboard holder.

when Sanchez had a top 5 running game and top 5 defense, he was able to perform. Smith had what Sanchez had in his rookie season when he was well experienced in his 4-7th seasons. Smith is a looser and not worth giving up draft picks and fuking the cap, hes a JAG. Smith faces defenses with 8 in the box for 75% of the game and the dude threw a 300 yard game once, you can draft a polished third rounder and have him do what alex smith does.

Nope, don't think he can win a SB so why bother

Gore and Crabtree. Watch football much?

I don't believe anyone is saying they want him because he can win SB's. There saying they want him because he would serve as a good stop gap until the Jets can find/draft their QB of the future.

That's why I want him. He takes good care of the football. He doesn't turn the ball over. He also does a good job at taking what the defense gives him. And from time to time he'll also make some pretty damn impressive plays that you didn't think he was capable of.

SB QB? No.

Good veteran leadership to provide great competition for a young up and coming QB? YES.

I feel he is an upgrade to the last year and a half of Sanchez football. I also don't think he is much better if at all to the year and a half that preceded that. Undecided I guess.

Ok, then I'd take Sanchez's 2011 stats.

We need a quarterback that can win a game with his arm, a quarterback who benefits but doesn't necessarily need a dominant rushing game. That guy is not Alex Smith.

LOL

Before Smith was benched, he was leading the league in completion percentage (70%) and had a better than 2:1 TD/INT ratio.

When the hell has Sanchez even come remotely close to that?

[Icer]

He's better than the other potential options but definitely shouldn't invest too much in him

A lot of analyists picked 49er early on to win the SB and Smith was the QB.
He had one of the highest wonderlic scores ever, so the guy aint dumb.

They're basically the same player I don't know everyone thinks Alex Smith is the savior. I wouldn't be shocked if Suckchez beat him out in TC and preseason.

Smith is just another game manager with no big play ability. I'm so sick of the Jets going after these types of QB's the Penningtons, Fiedlers, Clemenses, Sanchezes etc. We haven't had a big, athletic mobile strong armed QB since Vinny in 1998.

Don't want any of those clowns as my starter next season. We are stuck with Sanchez unfortunately and have no choice so he'll at least get a shot to compete for the starting job.

The Matt Flynn who has done nothing in the NFL except sign a big contract and then couldn't beat out Russell Wilson for the starting job?

No thanks. If Gamble can bring Alex Smith and somehow get Sanchez to go the other way, DO IT NOW!

Wow....that's just silly.

Smith is 10x the QB Sanchez is right now.

IF they were to bring in Smith, they would be spending some money in Free Agency and on some high draft picks. We have seen what Smith is like with no talent. If there is talent around him however, whole different kettle of fish.

Smith is not much of an upgrade over Sanchez??

Smith = 104.1 QB rating

Sanchez = 66.9 QB rating

He's definitely more athletic than Sanchez. Better scrambler. And taller. We all know Sanchez, though falsely listed as 6'2", is too short. Way too many batted passes. At least Smith is 6'4".

That's your opinion and I disagree. Put Smith on this untalented Jets offensive roster from this past season and he'd fall flat on his face the same way McElroy did. (Remember McElroy was the savior and Rex was stupid for not starting him immediately?)


For a QB to make plays his receivers actually have to get open. Watch the games we had no one getting open.

That's a one inch difference in height and btw there is no comparison between the talent Smith was surrounded with in SF and the scrub parade we had on offense.

SF has -

-Best Offensive Line in NFL
-top 3 Running Back Frank Gore
-top 3 playmaking TE Vernon Davis
-Crabtree never had a breakout year with Smith checking down but he's better than any of our WR's
-Harbaugh playcalling

NYJ has -

-Mediocre O-line
-JAG RB's
-Keller is nowhere near what Davis is and he barely played this year
-Santonio on IR, Kerley is decent, Tanny refused to sign Bray until week 15, and scrub WR's like Gates, Gilyard, Schilens
-Soprano playcalling


Put Alex Smith on our roster this year that precious QBR stat that most knowledgable football people don't pay attention to is probably in the late 60's. & I hate Sanchez.

Gotta love the selective history coming from the Alex Smith crowd.
