Ummmmm….Austin Collie says 'Hi'.

Not really, Mallett actually has franchise QB upside. Alex Smith is a game manager and thats it.

Trade high second rounder for someone else's back up qb. It's pretty damn similar.

Did you throw the Alex Smith to KC trade rumors article out last year as well?


Hint: the trade was discussed and finalized well before the new league year.

 

The 49ers were looking for a trade partner after the Super Bowl, not before the conference championship games started. Also this time we are talking about a coach and a quarterback who used to be on the same team, so there is a reason to believe somebody just made it up.

In that respect, yes. In the respect of ceiling, no. Mallett is MUCH higher.

Would you say Mallett's ceiling is higher than Bridgewater's?

They also did it with Matt Cassel.

The Matt Cassel trade also included Mike Vrabel.

Higher no, I'd say they both have franchise QB ceilings, though. Neither of Bridge or Mallett are game manager types.
