thanks san fran for skipping over aaron rodgers and selecting alex smith, if you guys would have taken aaron you may actually be a good team right now. we are very fortunate to have a quarterback to take over for a hall of famer and right now couldnt be any happier with our 24th pick of the 1st round vs. the 1st overall pick !!

Coaching and time to learn with no pressure. Great situation for Aaron to fall into, and he has taken advantage of it.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

ironically, it was also his coach that caused him to get passed over by San Francisco in the draft.

For being a California boy, I sure hope he loves his time in Wisconsin, I want him to stick around for a while.

Makes you wonder what could've become of Alex Smith if he fell into that situation. Good arm, used to be pretty smart on the field in college. That horrible team combined with a new offensive cordinator every year can not have done him any good.

I think we should all add the 49ers to our Christmas card like we use to send the Atlanta Falcons for trading us Favre.

It's interesting to ponder how well Alex Smith would have done if he had the chance to sit for 3 years behind a quality starting QB. It's the same with David Carr, Tim Couch etc.

Rodgers, in many ways, inherited the ideal situation. He got the chance to learn behind one of the greatest players of all time. Moreover, he's inherited a pretty good team, something which most first overall picks do not (assuming if San Fran would have passed on Smith they would have selected A-Rod.)

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : uh oh

Martha Careful (1-Apr) : Too bad camera's can't spot the ball as well.

Mucky Tundra (1-Apr) : So will the chain gang be gone completely or will they still be around as a backup or whatever?

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : The method for measuring first downs in the NFL will switch from chain gangs to camera-based technology in 2025, the league announced.

Martha Careful (1-Apr) : A big step in the right direction. Just put in the college system is very very good.

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : NFL has passed a rule that allows both teams to possess the ball in OT during the regular season

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : Touchbacks on kickoffs will now bring the ball to the 35-yard line.
