RuntheDamnBall Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I don't know why he wouldn't want a super bowl ring. He'll likely get a chance to start again elsewhere, but nothing tells me he would have wanted to lose the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Super Bowl or bust, and your plan busted. I could of won you a SB. It strokes his ego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) Smith doesn't seem like that kind of dude. That kind of play wouldn't get him far in the long run, anyway. You are always playing for your next contract in the NFL. I agree, but did you hear Smith's interview on Tuesday? The guy was openly overly bitter. I wouldn't want him on my team after his public pouting fest. And Harbaugh could look back at Smith and say, "you couldn't even get us to the SB." This is a good question though as to whether he wanted a SB ring, or wanted to loose and try to get one on his own. We were debating this last night at the SB party I was at. Only he knows. Personally, I'd want the ring. Edited February 4, 2013 by Beerball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 If I were AS I may or may not want my team to win, depending on what kind of relationship I had with the other players, but I wouldn't care about the ring at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T master Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) During the power outage coach Cowher was talking about the possibility of putting in Smith & before that i was thinking the same thing, but was also thinking that that could have killed Kapernicks confidence. It worked out the kid played a good game & he will be a good player for a long time in SF, now if the Bills can get better maybe Boomer along with all the other Bills fans can get their wish of a SB with tha Bills & SF but this time the Bills coming out as the winners !!!

W You think Bledsoe gets the warm fuzzies when he looks at the ring he got courtesy of Tom Brady? It's one thing to be a role player who contributed along the way, like Bernie Kozar in Dallas, but when you're the starter who gets benches midseason to never see the field again? That ring would be a sore that never heals. Edited February 4, 2013 by Rob's House Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GO BILLS !!!! I wouldn't say that exactly. If it had really worked out they'd have won. I get your point, that he turned it around & played very well in the second half & capitalized on the opportunities the D & ST gave him, but he did get stopped at the endzone with victory 6 yds away.

C.Biscuit97 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Alex Smith got paid millions of dollars for playing terrible football for 75% of his career. He wasn't as good as the young stud QB they had so he just needs to deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you're saying but I couldn't feel less sorry for him. They invested years and a ton of money into him & he was awful. He forced the 49ers to draft a QB. Shaun Hill was a better player than him. Jim Harbaugh is the best QB in football and he probably gave Smith another chance at a big paycheck. Alex Smith is one of the luckiest guys in the NFL.

Alex Smith is one of the luckiest guys in the NFL. totally missed the boat on what i was trying to say i think(likely my fault). i dont feel sorry for him in the "poor guy got a bum wrap" sense. like i said, he has an incredibly charmed life today, even without playing lastnight. what i was saying is that it would also be incredibly sad for him if he didnt realize that. hes been gifted the world at his finger tips and hopefully he realizes that he was still really valuable to the guys around him on that sideline. i have no idea if he does or not, but when people with so much good in front of them waste it because they cant see it because things didnt go according to plan..... its disappointing to hear (again, not saying this is him). sure, be a bit bummed about not being on the field but his glass is way more than half full and hopefully he sees it that way, for his own good.

I don't feel sorry for either of them. Bledsoe has a great outlook - he understands how fortunate he was just to play in the league & to make that kind of money. If the worst thing in your life is losing (or sitting) in a football game you've got a pretty gravy life. That's another point altogether. In this particular situation, if I'm Alex Smith, that ring means nothing more to me than a participation trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wasn't giving the niners his full support, then he's a real !@#$ing asswipe I agree just a ridiculous question. people are not like that at all--deep down;) Now the character of a man is not whether he wants the team to do well...but would he do anything he could to help them win. From what I have seen of Alex Smith he would be the type to do anything he could to help the team.----But human nature being what it is--I dont doubt that there is at least a small part of him that at least didnt give a flying f whether the niners won or not.

You are always playing for your next contract in the NFL. He went something like 35-37 passing in his last 2 games. Then gets hurt and loses his job. He was playing good football. He's pissed.

RuntheDamnBall Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 which shows he has class....but i would guess he is not that upset that the niners lost. I dunno. I would think if you take enough pride in your job that you would feel some ownership of the title for having helped the starter succeed. I am sure, for example, that Frank Reich would have taken a starting job sooner were he in a position to get one, but I am sure he wanted his team to win. I know it's different because FR wasn't the starter except for in case of injury, but these jobs come and go... titles don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malazan Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 which shows he has class....but i would guess he is not that upset that the niners lost. Upset may be a strong word, but whatever his issues with the decision and the people who made it...he has been a teammate of those guys for awhile. He was part of the team. There is no benefit to them losing the Super Bowl where after a shaky start, what most people talking about is how his replacement bounced back and how strong his arm is..

BRAWNDO Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Looks like he has been traded, but to what team remains a mystery Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora The 49ers have expressed to others that a deal for QB Alex Smith is effectively complete. Can't be finalized til league year begins 3/12 Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora so it's not official, both clubs view it at as it's effectively done. I do not know the other team.

And what makes you think necessarily that Andy Reid, who wasn't actually responsible for drafting McNabb, always saw him as his ideal QB? Geno and Donovan are like twins with their physical gifts for the QB position. The weird thing is that I get the same "the whole world is against me" vibe from Geno that Donovan has always had. If this is true and it's official the Chiefs don't want Geno Smith, then that's a huge red flag considering Andy Reed is a QB guru and he'd rather have the pedestrian Alex Smith. Also remember, the money allotment for #1 QB is no longer as substantial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I know is Fitz isn't the "one" and Smith could be the "one". I for one am ready to give him a chance, even if it means a big cap hit from Fitz.
