At least 15 quarterbacks who would improve 49ers right now
I woke up with an idea buzzing around my head. How many quarterbacks in the NFL are capable of making the 49ers offense better than it is with Alex Smith in charge? And who are they? Here are 15 off the top of my head – i.e. almost half the [...]
Cam Newton vs. Alex Smith round two
This is the story that just won't die. Cam Newton was given a chance by a reporter to respond to Alex Smith today -- to Smith's comments pointing out that Newton and the Panthers scored a lot of points but didn't win a lot of games last season. This was [...]
