I think Alex Smith should be at least a 3rd. Recalling the 49ers last game against the Cards, the crowd was chanting ALEX ALEX! Just to see him in the game.
Took the Bay Area that long to care.
He has almost zero trade value. You said it yourself, unless Kaepernick gets injured, they are dumping Smith. So why would a team trade a 3rd round pick (or any pick) for a guy that is going to be a free agent, and they can get him for nothing?
And Cassell and Kolb pretty much proved that they weren't worth the picks that were given up, didn't they? They also weren't about to be dropped.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
