A.Smith done for year 49ers come calling for Rodgers

[pack4to84]

Sounds like Alex Smith might be done for the year. He seeking a second opinion. So if TT can get Favre to commit to '08. How much will it take to get
TT to trade Rodgers to the 49ers?

[The Shadow]

I wouldn't trade Rodgers - period.

Man that is terrible news for the 49er fans. They had high expectations for Smith and their team.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I thought Smith was ready to take off this year. He hadn't. San Fran has to be disappointing to a lot of experts. They are lucky to be 2-2.

[pack4to84]

Orthopedic Dr. James Andrews confirmed the 49ers' belief that Alex Smith will not need to undergo season-ending shoulder surgery.
Andrews made no recommendations for treatment and expects Smith's torn shoulder ligaments to heal on their own. Smith will be re-evaluated after the swelling subsides, but appears to have avoided an injury that would cost him the season. The 49ers expect to provide a recovery timetable on Thursday. They are hopeful he'll return after a Week 6 bye.

Looks like he might be out shorter term then the year now. But it still sounds bad

I would trade A-Rod for Frank Gore. But that is NEVER going to happen.

[oregonpackfan]

I wouldn't trade Rodgers - period.

I agree. Like him or not, Rodgers is the future QB for the Packers. Why would we trade away our future?

[Lurker64]

Considering that we only have two QBs on the roster and there's not a lot else out there, it would take a blockbuster deal to get Rodgers. Probably multiple first round picks (one guaranteed, the second probably conditional) plus a player. It's not going to happen, for better or worse Rodgers is going to have the first shot at the "post-Favre" QB role.

The niners are going to have a top ten pick this year, I would trade a back up QB in a heart beat when you can move up and select a guy in the top ten, besides I heard we need depth at defensive tackle.

[cheesner]

I would let him go for about 5 first day picks - with at least a #1 next year. That is a very steep price they wouldn't pay - but that is what he is worth to the Packers. A potential franchise QB is a very valuable asset, there are only a handful at any given time in the NFL.

I wouldn't trade Rodgers - period.

Of course you would not.

What if the trade suited our future The Shadow. We have more needs than a back-up QB (Aaron Rodgers) if we are going to move forwrd in 2008 with Brett Favre as the obvious #1 QB. . .

I voted for a first and a third or maybe a first and a player. DAM a top ten pick would grab my ass.

All day long I would make that trade because Favre will be around for too long to satisfy Rodgers and he does deserve his shot elsewhere.

GO PACKERS.

[Pacopete4]

the rodgers trade is over played buuuut... this would solve a lot if, IF!, Favre commits to the next season right now so we can play for our future and bring in a vet now for this season giving us a great trade and the commitment of favre for another year

that being said.. none of us really know how trades go down haha

[Him8123]

TT would be stupid to get rid of Rodgers, he knows the offense, young and really improving. And I just don`t see a bunch of QB`s floating around. Although Colt Brennan will be in this next draft. hmm.....maybe a 1st and 2nd next year. lol

[Fritz]

So what if the unthinkable happens and Favre goes down? You going to sign Rich Gannon or Drew Bledsoe? Or Craig Nall?

I think it's time to stop thinking of "the future" and think of now. Keep Rodgers. He's a backup who can step right in and at least have a chance to move the team down the field. AND he's the future, anyway, so there's not much to gain by trading him. If you did and you got a top ten pick, you might end up taking a . . . quarterback. And then what did you gain?

[Fred's Slacks]

I'm pretty sure New England already owns the 49ers 1st rounder next year.
